A Congressman's Reflection on Political Engagement and Leadership

Political parties aim to limit engagement and participation in primaries to favor chosen candidates. Increased voter turnout in primaries can lead to more appealing candidates and drive change within the system. Despite challenges and obstacles in American politics, the congressman believes in the power of individual voices uniting to create a chorus for change. True leadership, in his view, involves making principled decisions, even if they are unpopular and come at personal cost. The congressman's motivation to be in politics stems from a deeply personal experience after the 2016 election and a promise to his daughters. He sees public service as a selfless act of gratitude towards the country that provided refuge to his family, emphasizing the importance of helping, inspiring, and showing courage in the face of adversity.
