Welcome back to Your Vote Matters! In this episode, Dan, T'alyce, and Ellie cover the importance of local elections, and explore the various roles that young voters can play. First, we spoke with Elizabeth Fielder, a Representative for District 184 in the Pennsylvania State House and candidate for re-election. Elizabeth recounts how local elections are just as important than national elections, even though they are not always as popular as national elections.

After the Break, Dan, Ellie, and T'alyce explain the impacts of state governments, and why voting for their members is important. They then shared their memories of local races that were influential to them.

Finally, we spoke to CEEP Communications Staffer, Cynthia Capota, about political parties, their development, and how they impact politics and voter turnout in the United States.
