Neel Preet: What inspired you to write this book? What was the impetus behind this work of yours?

Maggy MacNikol:

The key message of the book is that real voters empowerment comes from engagement. The people we vote for and elect, like mayors and governors, have a really important job in deciding what happens in our communities. They make big decisions in areas like healthcare, schooling, and taking care of the environment. These leaders have the responsibility to figure out what people need now and in the future. They then have to make plans and use money and resources in a fair way so that everyone benefits. But, as the reader will see in the book – this isn’t easy to do.
