81% of local leaders (National League of Cities) faced some form of threat, personal persecution, and/or vandalism this year.

• 90%+ of elected leaders faced mental health challenges this past year*. This is a predictable outcome of a toxic political culture.

• 83% experienced anxiety and/or depression.
• 75% experienced overwhelm.
• 50% feel isolated, and/or have fallen out of love with their community.

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, since 2018, a full-time Federal Government employee was 560% more likely to die by suicide than their private-sector counterpart.
