On this episode of the Know Your Politics podcast, I interview Brian Birney. Brian serves as a locally elected official and runs two small businesses! He touches on the role local governments play in their communities and discusses some of the lessons he learned while serving as a United States Marine. Thank you again for tuning in!

Ep. 2 - All Politics are Local - An Interview with Brian Birney

“Get involved in local politics,” your friend on the school boards says. “Voting is your civic duty!” your high school social studies teacher relentlessly reiterates. But in the back of your mind, you think to yourself, “Why should I care?”

Know Your Politics: The Michigan Case Study takes on this question by interviewing various guests involved in state and local politics in the hopes of discovering why state and local politics are so important and how we as American citizens can better understand and influence what happens in our backyards.
