Former GOP staffer: Kansas needs strong leaders who restore trust in democracy | Opinion

The Trump Administration recently rejected international election monitors, upending decades of democratic precedent, but the next generation of American voters will be watching. High schoolers such as my daughter will be eligible to vote in the 2028 presidential election. They learn what America believes not just by memorizing the Pledge of Allegiance, but by seeing how we vote. Right now, they’re asking good questions about what they’ve seen unfold over the last several years: rampant corruption, the celebration of cruelty and bullying masquerading as diplomacy. The America they see doesn’t match what we’ve taught them in history class. But they already know elected officials must earn, and keep, our trust. When they don’t, democratic elections provide a way to right the ship. America’s founding fathers staked their lives and reputations on the belief that a democratic government is stronger and freer than a government tied to one individual. This summer, we celebrated 250 years of affirming their bold experiment. We know the strongest democracies include every voice — not just the loudest. Our vote represents our voice. The ballot we cast places our trust in those elected to represent us – all of us, even those who voted for their
