Here's one I'm reading right now that is really great!
What You Should Know About Politics . . . But Don't: A Nonpartisan Guide to the Issues That Matter - Jessamyn Conrad
It's great for anyone who wants to gain a deeper understanding of our political system and the things included in it along with a bit of history.
I would recommend non-partisan reading for these folks, but even something like What You Should Know About Politics . . . But Don't: A Nonpartisan Guide to the Issues That Matter would be called biased.
Might be a touch over his head but this one is great
Oh man- very much misread the question. Thanks for the catch!
@manwich666, this year’a election (as far as Va is concerned) are at the local level. I thought it was a general, Virginia politics question. National politics is generally coming down to your stance on abortion, aid to Ukraine, clean energy investments, and voter access. If you do any other research than that, try to either find sources from both sides to compare (Fox vs CNN) or try to use more middle ground sources (Wall Street Journal vs NPR, both are more center right or center left).
I’ve included a link to VPAP so you can see which elections are held in which years for research.

You’re going to want to look at specific candidate literature for this years local elections.
Last thing is this book has a good general Republican vs Democrat ideology without endorsing either.
