Welcome to the sixteenth issue of the Political Awareness Newsletter. This edition examines some of the most pressing debates shaping today’s political landscape. We look at the tension between climate policy and economic policy, the growing influence of money in politics, and the ongoing conversation around judicial ethics reform. You’ll also find a concise roundup of key national policy developments to help you stay informed on what’s unfolding across the country.

 

As always, our goal is to provide clarity, context, and a deeper understanding of the issues that impact our communities and our future. As the year comes to a close, we also want to wish everyone a safe and restful holiday season!
