Want a chicken coop in your yard? Look to your city ordinance. Want to get a stop sign put in in front of your house due to traffic? Look to your City Council. Local politicians have a more direct impact on your day-to-day life than you may know, yet most of us spend our political time talking about what is happening in Washington DC. Don’t get us wrong, it all matters, but what impacts you the most is what is closest to you. So this week we bring on a special guest, Councilwoman Connie Grubbs, and talk about why she ran for a local office and why it is so vital not just to the citizens of the community but also how it ladders up to our state and national politics.
