51% : By actively engaging in these local elections, conservative voters can shape public policies that promote their conservative values.
49% : By paying attention to and actively participating in these elections, conservative voters can shape these initiatives and influence national discussions on crucial issues such as education funding, healthcare reform, regulations, and criminal justice reform.
48% : And while the CRS study doesn't break down each office attained prior to being elected to Congress, in many, if not most, cases, the electoral steps include city council, county boards/commissions, state legislature, and then Congress.
41% : The founders understood the importance of local government, hence the 10 Amendment to the Constitution, which gives the states the power to handle local issues such as education, courts, public safety, law enforcement, commercial development, and of course, local government.
