Working EQ: What is the best way to get involved in Local California Politics i.e. City Councils, Mayors, etc?
2. What is a possible
answer to your working EQ? Please write the answer in thesis format.
- Attend local meetings to get more involved in the political process and establish rapport with politically motivated individuals
- Create a network of contacts to both support and inform you on topics
My most important source of info in regards to this topic without a doubt been The Dynamics of Political Participation
as it is one of the most in depth research articles that I have found,
utilizes the psychological definition of political skill which is one of
the best definitions of the term which I have found in my research (A
definition which has influenced my answer as networking is one of the
skills included by that definition), and a solidly researched article
with multiple citations and academic backing.
4. Who is your
mentor, or where are you doing mentorship, and how does what you are doing
relate to your working EQ?
Current mentor is El Monte City Councilwoman Victoria Martinez and
my mentorship largely consists of attending local city council meetings
and talking with people in regards to the issues raised, the political
process, and the essentials of politics. This relates to my topic as
the one on one conversations with my mentor are excellent sources of
info on local politics given that it is the direct level that I am
experiencing and also provides new insight on how to focus my project further.
