1. City Councils and Council members have a lot of power.

And MAGA would love to fill more seats on Councils, School Boards, and other seemingly low-level elected positions.

In my county, Santa Cruz, council members sit on county boards and can sway the direction of major regional projects, like public transit and housing policies and investments.

Thank your council member, consider running, and become as active civically as possible.

Great post, thanks!
