Maxim Short Cuts | Asking the Right Questions of Our Leaders

By Jason Heale June 12, 2023

We shouldn’t settle for elections as popularity contests. We have to move beyond surface-level likability and focus on what matters: effective governance, sound decision-making, and safeguarding our nation’s interests. In the Maxim column this week, Jason Heale encourages us to take the focus off superficial traits and ask ourselves who is the most capable of representing us in Government before we get to the polling booth.

Join us as we highlight some of the more thought-provoking aspects of our column, talk about the critical issues, and listen to the column read by the author.
