Marshall here. Welcome back to the realignment. Hey, everyone. Welcome back to the show. For today's

episode, I'm joined by the Abundance Network's Giselao Harald to have discussed the new Abundance

Elected Network that Abundance Network has launched. The Abundance Network Elected's program was

officially announced to the world at the Abundance Conference earlier in

September this month.

And it's a really interesting group of local elected officials that reflect the most interesting

and undercover part of the abundance discussion.

Despite all of the national level debates we've had, despite the debates about the future

of the Democrat Party, the future of the Democratic Party,

the future of the bipartisan part of the abundance movement, a lot of the national style things

we focused on at the conference. The abundance electives are actually local officials in the

states who separate from the electoral case for advancing abundance, just find that the actual idea of increasing supply

and focusing on state capacity is an important and resonant one with the problems they have.

The group includes mayors from cities such as Scranton, Lansing, Cincinnati, and Boulder,

and city council members and county supervisors across more than 31 states. I met a bunch of

these Abundance elected officials at the conference, and I will say for the purposes of this show,

promoting its brand and getting at the actual mission of the show. It turns out the first member

of the network actually listened to an episode of the realignment where the Abundance Network's

Mesa Shalem came on last year and reached out to them. So it's really cool that we're able to

build this into a community of people who aren't just sort of thinking about national politics

but focused on their local issues. They can hopefully find solutions and approaches like the

abundance agenda that resonate with them. Hope you all enjoy the conversation.
