"Seizing the attention of voters requires meeting "Seizing the attention of voters requires meeting them where they already are.

Ambitious political leaders are saying farewell to the old modes of communication. Gone are the days when a town hall or press release could reliably shape public opinion. Political relevance today requires meeting voters where they already are.

That place is the digital feed. According to the Pew Research Center, 53% of US adults now get their news from social media at least occasionally. Among adults under 30, the number rises to 76%.

In this fast-paced environment, a politician must know how to stop a scrolling thumb. The medium is the short video, the headline with a hook or the post that lands even with the sound off. Content must be packaged for velocity and reach or it will fail.

To observe this trend is not to celebrate it uncritically. The business of governing still depends on smart policymaking, people skills, and a grasp of complexity. But those virtues matter little if no one is watching. Without attention, there is no persuasion. Without persuasion, there is no power.

The digital feed is no longer a sideshow to politics. It is the main stage. Leaders who understand this are far more likely to shape not just conversations but outcomes."

In this 1949 photo, the most prominent sign is “ In this 1949 photo, the most prominent sign is “Tamalpais” splashed across a two-story building in the photo’s center right. Even back then, the intersection was known as “The Hub.” That’s because for those nearby, it was indeed a center of activity. 

In 1875, two well-traveled dirt roads were joined by a rail line and unofficially christened “The Hub” — today, we know these two roads as Sir Francis Drake Boulevard and Red Hill Avenue in San Anselmo. In the 1920s, the area was made more congested thanks to the introduction of the electric-powered interurban trains that started transiting the confluence. At the same time, the Tamalpais Community Playhouse, or “Tamalpais” for short, entered the scene. The Tamalpais’ first movie was The Humming Bird starring Gloria Swanson. As an added attraction, vocalist and pianist Uma Waldrop would perform on a $25,000 organ. Soon, the 1,000-seat venue became the Tamalpais Theater which showed films from the 1930s onwards, before closing in 1989. Today, its marquee publicizes community events, and its greatly reconfigured lobby is home to The Image Flow, a center for quality photographic printing. 

As for “the Hub,” by the end of World War II, rail traffic had left town, while traffic caused by cars, buses and trucks significantly increased. To counteract this, a city police officer was dispatched daily in the late 1960s to personally direct rush hour traffic, and in 1972, automated traffic lights were finally installed. Yet despite the many improvements that have been made to these lights, “The Hub” remains one of Marin County’s busiest intersections.
