In this special bonus episode of Positive Philter, I sit down with my dad, Retired Colonel Philip Wilkerson Jr., to discuss his experience serving as a poll officer in the same community where I grew up. We explore the vital role poll officers play in the election process, why local elections often directly affect our daily lives, and practical ways everyday citizens can stay informed and engaged.
Our conversation goes beyond politics and focuses on civic responsibility, public service, and the importance of participating in our communities. Whether you’re a first-time voter, a longtime voter, or simply curious about what happens behind the scenes on Election Day, this episode offers valuable insights into the democratic process and why every election matters.
