What an MCA Actually Does

The MCA, MP, Senator and Governor

12 minute lesson

Separate the roles before making promises. MCAs legislate, represent and oversee county government. MPs legislate and oversee nationally, Senators represent counties at the Senate and protect county interests, while governors lead county executives.

Voters often ask all elected leaders to solve the same problem; an effective MCA explains which institution has authority and then uses the correct channel.
