    Agreed. Local candidates and referendum votes are often more directly impactful to local communities.

    Things like legalization of weed, protection of abortion rights, and ranked choice voting usually show up as referendum votes. And when it comes to how homelessness, police, financial aid, schools, etc. in your area are managed, that’s all local politics.

      Exactly!!! Locally they are trying to recall a school board member for basically being liberal. Mask mandates, covid policies, some sort of race related class or club… you know the real egregious stuff. That’s really where conservatives are more active too.
