On Local Matters this week we will have two candidates running for Secretary of State, one candidate running for State School Superintendent, and one candidate running for Commissioner of Agriculture. Each of them explains why they decided to run, describes their greatest accomplishments, and what their priorities would be if elected. Listen to State Representative Winfred Dukes, John Eaves, Alisha Thomas Searcy, and Dee Dawkins Haigler.

Who is Running Statewide?

Local and state governments, though often overshadowed by federal government, have tremendous impact on our quality of life. This podcast provides a valuable service by educating people on how to improve their own quality of life through civic engagement. Various organizations encourage residents to register and vote, but it does not appear that anyone is showing voters how to make good decisions when they do. It feels akin to hiring someone for a job without reviewing the job description. Local Matters changes that narrative by educating voters with short, clear, and unbiased civics lessons from a career local government professional, public speaker, and management consultant.
