Warner Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description Beginning with an analysis of state responses to COVID-19, David Toscano goes on to detail how various states are attacking issues in different ways - from education and voting to criminal justice and climate change - and provides a broad overview of how state actions affect the American system of federalism. Publisher Description In this profoundly polarized era, the nation has been transfixed on the politics of Washington and its seemingly impenetrable gridlock. Many of the decisions that truly affect peoples lives, however, are being made not on the federal level but in the states. Faced with Washingtons political standoff, state governments are taking action on numerous vital issues, often impacting citizens and their communities far more than the decision makers in D.C. Despite this, few Americans really understand their state governments or the issues they address. In Fighting Political Gridlock, David Toscano reveals how the states are working around the impasse in Washington and how their work is increasingly shaping society.Long a central figure in one of the most important legislative bodies in the nation, the Virginia House of Delegates, Toscano brings a unique expertise to this urgent and timely discussion. Beginning with an analysis of state responses to COVID-19, including the processes and consequences of declaring states of emergency, he goes on to detail how various states are attacking issues in different ways–from education and voting to criminal justice and climate change–and provides a broad overview of how state actions affect our system of federalism. Toscano concludes with a call to action and civic engagement, including suggestions for how citizens and public officials can revitalize American democracy. Author Biography David J.
