Episode 11 explores how veterans can get involved in local government. Local government decisions often have a more direct impact on daily life than those at the state or federal level. We begin (1:24) with Dr. Shawn Healy, Senior Director of Policy and Advocacy at iCivics, who addresses the question, "What are our responsibilities as citizens?" (5:55). Next, Navy veteran Mike Cantwell discusses how veterans can run for local office. Finally, Garrett Cathcart, an Army veteran and executive director of More Perfect Union, shares how veterans and their families can strengthen communities through service and leadership. Support the showFor more, check us out at www.wetheveterans.us and at https://linktr.ee/vettedconversations
