    Voter turnouts among union households have increased, but the membership base has declined during the same period (Page 148). Unless union political advocacy simultaneously appeals to and energizes a substantial fraction of nonunion households, it is unlikely to have significant effects on electoral outcomes. I believe that electoral outcomes can be changed. With myself as a leader we can drive the voting campaigns and sway more union members to vote more often in the primary elections.

Sectional tensions have, for better or for worse, dramatically shaped the development of political parties in the United States.

  • Republican Party Strengths

    381 Words  | 2 Pages

    Party strength is a measure of the ability of a party to get people to vote for its candidates. The post-World War II shift in party strength was part of a massive shift in policy over time.

In today’s world, I think many politicians would benefit from acting in the way of doing the right thing, rather than supporting sides merely based on political affiliation. For this reason, I am passionate about educating myself as much as possible to candidates beliefs, and I look forward to being able to take part in my first elections in coming
