What if one of the biggest solutions to America’s political dysfunction isn’t electing better people, but restoring the principles of federalism?
On this episode of Defending Ideas, Nic Dunn speaks with two Utah representatives, Rep. Jennifer Dailey-Provost and Rep. Ken Ivory, about the constitutional balance between state and federal power.
They discuss polarization, congressional dysfunction, the role of states as laboratories of democracy, and why shifting more decisions to local communities could improve both governance and civic trust.
Show notes:
- The DOJ’s voter roll demand has a federalism problem
- Hidden Signals: Creating Transparency in Agency Guidance
