Every vote truly counts. 🗳️ Voting is crucial because it gives each person a voice in shaping the future of their community, country, and the policies that impact daily life. It empowers individuals to hold leaders accountable and advocate for change that reflects their values. By voting, you're not only expressing your opinion but also ensuring that the government reflects the diverse views of the population. When people don't vote, decisions are made by a smaller, often less representative group, which can lead to policies that don’t serve the broader society.

In a new op-ed for Newsweek, CGCN Group Co-CEO Sam Geduldig and Partner Ja'Ron Smith take a lens to some of the roots of party polarization on Capitol Hill, and explore how these new dynamics may be fueling a momentous political realignment; one Donald Trump seems to be benefitting from. "This is a realignment that can only be realized through presidential elections, as they offer a more blended electorate than Congress. While the seeds of this shift have been planted in Congress, 435 congressional districts are too diffuse to organize a governing coalition against the current class bias. But when over 250 million Americans face just two choices to lead the country, realignment is possible. And as expressed in current polling, it is keeping Donald Trump competitive in many blue states." Read our Sam and Ja'Ron's new op-ed here: https://lnkd.in/eQumyCUW

Some of the various political dynamics heading into Iowa and beyond include whether there’s room for three viable Republican candidates. David Brady and Douglas Rivers, Hoover Institution senior fellows and Stanford University political scientists, discuss various political dynamics heading into Iowa and beyond including whether there’s room for three viable Republican candidates in January’s and February’s contests, the number of persuadable voters in a polarized “two-incumbent” general election, the role of third-party candidates as mischief-makers, plus alternate ways for selecting presidential nominees – i.e., is it time for national, regional or more “open” primaries?
