#90: Making American Politics More Local and Civil
Former House Speaker Tip O'Neill is often credited with the phrase "all politics is local," and it may be more relevant to this day and age than ever in recent memory. But to what extent has the COVID-19 pandemic made politics more local, and how can Americans work together to serve at local and state levels? A governmental affairs professional with extensive experience in local and state policymaking, Kristin Strobel shares her story of entering public service and how the dynamics of local and state politics are playing out in a post-pandemic America. She also discusses how every American can help restore more civility in our contemporary political environment.
