[Bilal Mahmood](https://www.bilalforassembly.com/) (ClearBrain founder, YC alum and former Amplitude Head of Product) recently ran for state assembly. Some tech people are getting involved in politics, but most do not.

Sadly, most tech folks don't vote or have zero interest in local politics.

It's more that transient populations usually don't bother. If your plan is to move to an area for 4-6 years in order to bootstrap a career, earn some money, build a resume and reputation, and then move out to somewhere lower-cost, then you're not going to see the need to get involved in local politics or even vote.
