If you feel frustrated with what’s happening in the country right now, I have some sincere advice to give you. When you hear it, you may feel intimidated but please hear me out:
Run for office.
Run for office.
Whether you run for State Senate, County Treasurer, School Board or some other position, we need good people in office. People often feel like they “don’t know enough,” but believe me. You do.
We need more teachers in government. We need more electricians in government. We need social workers and steel workers and people who know what it’s like to live paycheck to paycheck.
Representative Democracy doesn’t just mean you communicate with your elected officials. It also means that you run for office and give the voiceless a voice.
Good question- it’s true I don’t feel a strong kinship with the Republican Party at this time but I can’t identify with the Democratic Party either. So until a path forward becomes clearer, I will remain a classic Republican/ aspirational Republican.
