Ask Me Anything

If you’ve started following me on Instagram or TikTok, you’re likely seeing more video content. I’ve been sharing short 1-3 minute videos about the topics you often see on this blog – tips and tricks that can make it just a little bit easier to understand, and deal with, American politics and government.

I’m passionate about sharing these tools because I believe a really simple truth: if we truly want better, more civil representation, we have to begin by owning the responsibility to improve our own approach to politics.

Professional advocates have an advantage. We train. We practice our pitches. We build our work around the basics of relationship building. Because it’s our 9-5, we have a head start. But we’ve also invested the time in answering all those little questions folks tend to have about the “how” of governance.

But for the average person, it’s all still quite often mysterious. The process of governance is full of confusion – spurred by equal parts confounding bureaucracy and infuriating partisanship – that causes so many to simply throw their hands in the air and ignore it all. Sadly, that leaves you ill-prepared for the moment when you’ll need to engage in the process.

And yes. At some point, we’ll all butt our heads against the process. That’s what makes these tips, tricks and tools valuable.

But as much as I love writing these posts, I also recognize the need for other types of content if I’m going to share my message with the broadest audience possible. So it’s time to stretch myself. That’s why I’m posting this video on my social accounts…

If I’m being honest, I’m still a bit stunned by the reach this blog has gotten. I’m still small by so many standards, but the number of folks who come up and go out of their way to say they read the content regularly is humbling. That feedback comes from all corners. And now, it’s time to level up.

I really believe answering questions directly from you will help do just that.

And I may not always have the answer. But that will help me dive into my network to see if I can bring some other voices – and faces – into the conversation. Responding to you will help generate the “new types of content” I promised you at the beginning of the year.

So, in short, I do need YOU. I’d be really grateful if you’d take a moment and fill out the box below with whatever question pops into your mind first. Don’t over think it – because if you’re asking it, someone else will be too!
