Season 3: Democracy at the State and Local Level

from Democracy Decoded · host Michelle Baker, Tren Lightburn, Simone Leeper, Mannal Haddad, Casey Atkins, Paulina Velasco

Federal elections–and their results–play a huge role in how our democracy operates. But decisions made at state and local elections have the most direct impact on people’s everyday lives. The local and state level also influences the way elections are run, and how citizens hold their elected officials accountable. Democracy Decoded is a podcast by Campaign Legal Center that examines our government and discusses innovative ideas that could lead to a stronger, more transparent, accountable and inclusive democracy. In the third season, host Simone Leeper covers everything you need to know about democracy at the state and local level–including where and when citizens can vote, campaign finance contribution limits, and how citizens can protect their communities’ interests in the face of corruption. Because our democracy works best, when every voter can fully participate. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
