Dave Anderson Urges Listeners to Vote Local and Protect Your Paycheck
As Election Day approaches, financial expert and motivational speaker Dave Anderson, better known as The Business Bully, joined Erica Campbell and Griff on Get Up Mornings to remind listeners that local elections are just as important—if not more—than the national ones.

Anderson wasted no time breaking it down in plain terms. “Your local elections hit your wallet first,” he said, explaining that city and county leaders directly influence issues like taxes, rent, road maintenance, and business development. “If your neighborhood is crumbling, it has nothing to do with D.C.,” he added. “That’s a zip code decision.”
He emphasized that voters must look beyond political parties and focus on policies that impact their communities. “It’s not about left or right. It’s about profit or loss,” Anderson said. “These local lawmakers shape your economy, your schools, and your streets. If you don’t vote, you’re basically telling someone else, ‘Take my money and do whatever you want with it.’”

Erica agreed, pointing out that many people skip local elections because they simply don’t know who their local representatives are. Anderson responded with a powerful reminder: “This isn’t high school. We’re not electing the homecoming king or queen. This is about representation. Don’t vote for who’s popular—vote for who has a policy that benefits your family.”
He also highlighted the financial side of elections, encouraging communities to invest strategically. “Campaigns cost money,” he said. “If your church or organization pools resources to support candidates who care about your neighborhood, things will change. Money talks. If you don’t like the way your community looks, don’t just run to the ballots—run to the bank and cut the check.”
