Unveiling Government Transparency: A Conversation with Tristan Leavitt

In today's episode of Kanawha Valley Hustlers, I caught up with my friend Tristan Leavitt, who leads the nonprofit Empower Oversight. Tristan is dedicated to helping federal government employees blow the whistle on waste, fraud, and abuse. Despite legal protections, whistleblowers face challenges, and Tristan's expertise in this area ensures they receive support. We discuss the intricacies of whistleblower protection and the importance of remaining nonpartisan in such work. Tristan's commitment to truth and accountability shines through as he shares stories of individuals standing up against powerful institutions. Beyond his nonprofit work, Tristan is running for the House of Delegates, focusing on job creation, education improvement, and education freedom. He's also involved in micro-schooling initiatives, advocating for individualized learning experiences. Throughout our conversation, Tristan's passion for making a difference in the Kanawha Valley community is palpable, and his dedication to transparency and accountability is truly inspiring.
