Capitol Coverage

[Of Concern | The Legislator]

An increasing number of Americans say Congress is deeply divided. _{^{[1] [2]}}

Since 2025, fierce polarization has locked lawmakers into partisan battles, often leaving moderate voices unheard and many issues ignored. This sharp divide has been fueled by targeted redistricting strategies that protect incumbents and deepen party control. Congress is also closely tied to the executive branch, frequently advancing the president’s agenda over independent judgment. This makes it harder for ordinary people’s concerns to break through political gridlock and executive influence.

But your voice is powerful. It can bridge divides and ensure elected officials represent everyone, not just their parties or presidential agendas – especially when our voices unite. Your words matter, and together, they can make Congress pay attention.
