Recent years have been difficult, and there is no doubt about that. Political division, a struggling economy, and a global pandemic have left many people feeling exhausted. The upcoming election in November 2022 will be a crucial opportunity for voters to have their say on the direction the country should take. And it's important to remember that our democracy is only as strong as we make it. When we don't vote, we give up our power to shape the future of our country. When we don't vote, we allow others to make decisions for us.
In this episode, Jim and Dan talk about the upcoming US midterm elections, the five things to look for when choosing a candidate, and what the New Contract with America is all about.
Enjoy!
