Finding Leadership With The 23rd Congressional District Texas Elections

By Matthew Nelson


For upwards of ninety percent of its time, human society was nomadic. During this phase as nomads, they went about the world hunting and gathering, doing everything in their power to keep on surviving. Eventually however, like any good bachelor, human society settled down. But that would not have happened if the person in charge of the first tribe to do it did not see the merits of settling. But because they did, that set off a series of events that would lead to the modern world. Now, the importance of good leadership has not diminished. Which is why it is important to be aware of the 23rd congressional district Texas elections.

Human society is made up of people. Those people generally have friends and family. It is these social circles which form the basis of human society. Were it not for this social mentality, there would not any kind of functioning community. People would just be too busy trying to one up each other to actually get anything done.

It is important that a community has a leader. This is because without someone to rein everyone else in, a community can devolve in backstabbing and infighting because individuals generally have different opinions about pretty much everything. A leader is supposed to be the one to make the best decision possible for everyone.

Democracy is when a leader is chosen from the populace. In the olden days, the people in charge would not be chosen. No, they would either come in with an army and then take over, or they would have been the descendants of those who took over, becoming leaders because of some sort of divine right to rule or something. But not in a democracy, in such a system, can anyone who meets certain qualifications can ascend into an office provided they get enough popular support from the citizenry.

Of course, voters must be registered. This is to make sure that only those who live in those communities will be the ones who get to choose its leadership. Otherwise, those from outside the district can make decisions for the people who live in it.

Now, the individuals running to an office are human. This of course means that they are every bit as fallible as anyone else. It is often said that no one is perfect, and that maxim could not be more true. Perfection is not within the nature of humanity. Not even in those who are supposed to be calling the shots.

The platform that a candidate campaigns on will generally be about issues relevant to the community. As such, it is important to learn about those issues in order to make an informed choice when it comes to voting. The way that these issues are presented can sway public opinion, so it is important to do even the tiniest bit of research in order to make the right choice at the ballot.

But no matter how much a person knows, it is not going to be enough if they do not show up to vote. Yes, waiting in those long lines sucks. But it sucks even more to have an elected official who is completely unfit for the job.

Societies have leaders. Sometimes, those people are born into their position. But there are times when they are chosen.
