Delta County has 4 Positions Up on the November 2nd, 2021 election. People who are engaged in political life do so for a variety of reasons. Some of these are great reasons and some of them are more personal. It is important to think about the type of people we are electing and whether or not they really represent our cherished values (I don't know who is running so its just more of a general comment. Kind of curios now.🤔). This is a local election so the stakes are much smaller than state and national elections. However, they still are important as they are a symbol of collective support. Move beyond partisan politics....
When Personality is Important
Some research hints to the idea that most voters simply pick partisan candidates but when that partisanship isn't strong the personality of the candidate becomes increasingly important (The dangers of hyper partisan politics is that we are blind in our thinking about some very basic things that we all value.) (Naik, Maier, Vranic, March 15th 2021). Likewise it also indicated most voters disliked negative traits (narcissism, psychopathy, Machiavellianism.) but those that did like those traits often find them within themselves (That is kind of a "birds flock together" argument.😮)
Whether we are talking about local, state or national elections I suspect the principles apply across government positions.
