Stop Ignoring Your Local Elections! (And Why It Matters So Much) - #75

I'll be honest with you: I used to not pay attention to my local elected officials. I didn't realize how they affected everything from the amount of property taxes I paid, to how I can use my land and property due to zoning laws, to creating affordable housing, to how parks and forests, etc., are protected and used. But lately, because of Primaries taking place in Maryland right now, I have been researching to death all of the candidates and what they stand for. I'll share with you why this matters so much to not just homeowners, but renters, too. I'll also share with you a scary shooting that happened outside of a grocery store near my home (I was yards away from the shooting!) and how I learned of what my local county council is doing to address gun control.  After listening to this podcast, I challenge YOU to find out how your county council is addressing local issues related to your home, neighborhood, and safety! Be involved and make sure your voice is heard.Click here to see when your own state primaries are taking place this year!**Maryland, Montgomery County, Prince George's County, and Washington, DC Voters** Download the Black Voters Guide for where candidates stand on issues that affect Black and brown voters.
