William Henderson and B. McGraw talk about local vs national politics. This is Part 1 of 2 episodes.
We first discuss our thesis on why local politics matters - it has more control over our lives than we think, and it's the pipeline into running for national office. We discuss the massive number of uncontested elections in the United States, and the low participation rate in local elections. Specifically, we discuss how the Presidential election has the highest participation rate, followed by other federal elections, then state elections, then local elections. We then discuss the constitutional basis for state vs federal political power. Specifically, we discuss the role of the 10th amendment as well as the supremacy clause. Then we discuss the concepts of home rule and Dillon's rule, the role of states and municipalities in incarceration, the number of government employees at each level of government, and the budget size of each level of government.
