About this book
In "Hometown Politics, " David A. Covey delivers a passionate call to action for Americans concerned about the direction of their country. Drawing from his extensive experience in Texas politics—from precinct chair to state Republican executive committeeman—Covey provides a practical roadmap for conservatives to reclaim America through local political engagement.
This accessible guide breaks down the structure of county and state government, explaining how citizens can influence policy at every level. Covey doesn't just explain why local politics matter; he shows readers exactly how to navigate precinct conventions, communicate effectively with legislators, and understand the path from grassroots activism to substantial political impact.
With firsthand accounts from inside Texas political institutions, Covey illuminates the often-mysterious inner workings of party politics while emphasizing the Christian principles he believes were central to America's founding. "Hometown Politics" is both a civics lesson and a spiritual exhortation, arguing that acknowledging God is essential to preserving freedom and restoring constitutional government.
Written for everyday Americans who feel disconnected from the political process, this guide demonstrates that meaningful change doesn't require celebrity or wealth—just informed, dedicated citizens willing to engage in their communities. Covey's central message resonates throughout: fixing America starts locally, with individuals taking responsibility for their government.
