Character at the Ballot: Why Integrity Still Matters in Elections

September 11, 2024 John Nugent

In this episode of The Good Life Cast, host John Nugent discusses the common belief that presidential elections aren’t a popularity contest. While policies are undoubtedly important, John argues that the character of the person behind those policies matters just as much. He explains why we should seek leaders who not only make sound policy decisions but also embody the values we want to instill in our children—integrity, humility, and respect. John explores the idea that a president should be someone parents can respect and kids can admire, emphasizing that good leadership goes beyond policy to include being a good person.
