Read about Cities - Issue #137

As I prepare for a short trip to DC this weekend, I culled a few essays on cities, how we govern them, what we find in them, and how we grow them. There’s something really cool about DC or Boston or New York. Just below the surface lie intractable challenges. From expensive housing to expensive infrastructure to expensive salads, cities are expensive. Many are left behind by soaring costs. In the articles below, you’ll see liberals, capitalists, environmentalists, and rich people all blamed for the problems of cities. Most of this is probably wrong, but some good ideas start out with a wrong idea. Enjoy the reading and enjoy your city!

My talk at TeenPact's National Convention 2017

TeenPact invited me to speak at their National Convention 2017 event, a gathering of 900 TeenPact students, volunteers, and staff. They asked me to talk about seeking God in the context of my work in politics.
 
Using their theme as a springboard, I told some personal stories in a discussion of my core values: spirituality (seek meaningful godliness), magnanimity (show generous loyalty), and simplicity (make purposeful lifestyle choices). I talked about the cool kids' table, phone addiction, and what to do when things don't go as planned. Plus a bonus science fiction book recommendation!
