There are over 500,000 elected positions in the United States. People pay attention to the President and Congress, but local office offers a way to create direct change on our communities and experiment with solutions that can have a wider impact.
In this You Should Run Podcast, Jonathan Grieder talks about his experience as a Council member in Waterloo, IA. He has used his opportunity as a younger local official to push for creative policies on making childcare more affordable and available, addressing climate change, and more. At a time when the national problems seem too big to tackle, Jonathan's experience shows that there is a lot of power in local government.
We also discuss the great work of organizations like Run for Something, starting out in politics, and why more young people in office is a good thing.
