It's truly concerning to see so many uncontested races across the country, as it really calls into question the vibrancy of our democracy. When candidates run unopposed, it not only discourages robust debates on pressing local and national issues but also diminishes voter engagement, making people feel like their voices don't really matter. This trend could be a wake-up call for us to look into lowering barriers for entry into politics, ensuring more people have the opportunity to run for office. We need a political system that encourages participation and competition, reflecting the diverse views and needs of our communities.
