In Polarized Times, the Need for Understanding and Communication is Crucial

In a time of intense political polarization, it is crucial for people in public office to make hard decisions and find ways to slow down, listen, and understand each other. The Speaker of the House of Representatives for the state of Utah, Brad, often finds himself in difficult meetings, and has had to make tough choices, sometimes at the expense of personal activities. The current polarized environment makes it challenging for people to engage in transparent and open communication, despite the pressing need for understanding and empathy.
