## Resource

James Dickson from The James Dixon Podcast joins Josh to discuss his "Make Politics Local Again" movement. They explore how local politics has increasingly taken a backseat to national issues in campaigns and in the minds of most voters. Yet local issues often affect voters far more directly in their daily lives than what's happening on the national stage. James has therefore made it his mission to "Make Politics Local Again" in his home state of Michigan. They also discuss a growing issue affecting many states at the local level: the rapid proliferation of AI data centers across the country. Josh and James examine how these data centers can impact communities, including the potential for higher utility costs, less reliable power service for customers, and abuses of eminent domain.
