John Beccia's Taking on Congress Without the Trump Playbook — Here's Why

What happens when a lawyer and entrepreneur decides to run for Congress — not to “blow up the system,” but to make government work for regular people again? In this conversation, John Beccia shares what surprised him most about launching a congressional campaign and why he sees it as similar to building a business: listening fast, building a team, and showing up in community after community. John and the host dig into the issues he says are driving this run: • Affordability (housing, childcare, groceries) and rebuilding opportunity for working families • Education reform (including vocational pathways, real-world skills, and tuition-free community college) • Healthcare and protecting access — with a focus on expanding coverage and lowering costs • Checks and balances — and what Congress should do when executive power goes unchecked • Bodily autonomy and protecting a woman’s right to choose • Mental health and addiction, including his “Get Back On Your Feet” idea for holistic recovery + stability • Innovation and regulation: crypto/blockchain, AI, and the need for guardrails that don’t kill progress • Ethics and trust: congressional stock trading, and why stronger accountability matters across government No doom-scroll energy here — the through-line is civic action: show up, stay informed, and don’t give up on the idea that government can still be a force for good. 00:00 Intro — From business to politics 00:13 What surprised him most about running for Congress 01:25 Being a “business outsider” without the Trump-style playbook 02:38 Priorities: affordability, education, healthcare, and opportunity 05:29 Fix the system—don’t burn it down 07:32 What he wants to do in Congress (beyond “I’m better than them”) 09:20 Housing costs, jobs, and keeping young people in Massachusetts 11:37 Checks & balances: what Congress should do (and hasn’t) 18:48 Bodily autonomy and a woman’s right to choose 23:03 Supporting families beyond slogans (real programs that help) 24:19 “Get Back On Your Feet”: mental health, addiction, and stability 29:21 Crypto, blockchain, and AI: innovation with guardrails 36:05 Trust & ethics: congressional stock trading + Supreme Court integrity 43:38 Closing message: immigrant roots, democracy, and hope 45:54 Civic engagement: getting young people voting (and keeping the habit) 49:55 Why government can be good: civic imagination + helping neighbors 55:34 Final thanks & sign-off  🧠 FREE RESOURCES & GUIDES: Stop Falling for Fake News (Free Guide): Learn to spot misinformation and think like a fact-checker → https://go.wedissentmedia.com/fact-ch... 🤝 SUPPORT & JOIN OUR COMMUNITY: Become a Member: Support We Dissent Media and access exclusive perks → https://go.wedissentmedia.com/patreon 🔗 CONNECT WITH US: Instagram: @wedissentmedia TikTok: @wedissentmedia Substack: https://go.wedissentmedia.com/substack Podcast: https://podcast.wedissentmedia.com/ Website: https://wedissentmedia.com ABOUT THIS VIDEO: We Dissent Media is dedicated to bold, truthful, nonpartisan civic storytelling and commentary.
