Ideastream Public Media's entry for special coverage of the 2024 election is A Slice of Politics, a year-long effort to engage with voters so they could tell us what issues were important to them.
Warren is like many Northeast Ohio cities trying to remake themselves. The county seat of Trumbull has seen steel mills close, automakers and other industries leave and people move away for better opportunities.
In the 2024 election year, we took a closer look at Warren and what concerns voters there. Four people who live in and around Warren recently sat down at Sunrise Inn, a pizzeria in Warren, to talk about what’s driving their decisions the election.
Leading up to the conversation over pizza, Ideastream aired a profile of the city of Warren to help introduce our audiences to a place they may not be familiar with and individual profiles of each of residents who joined us for discussion.

The Conversation
The discussion was recorded and subsequently aired in the weeks before Election Day, with segments woven through Ideastream's presentation of NPR's Morning Edition and airing fully on Ideastream's daily talk show, The Sound of Ideas.
