A list of issues for legislatures to work on must be concise for issues to be solved. Many agency executives and legislators often have to distinguish the issue away from a condition by showing that the issue does pose a threat to an external source to a population (Jansson, 2018). With too many issues being present, it can have the legislatures stretched too thin and have issues overlooked that can lead to more problems down the line, rather than have solutions. Once the issues have bene pushed to the forefront of the legislatures and agency executives, agenda-building allows for the issues to be sorted through and have some either put aside or tackled (Jansson, 2018). Agenda building is successful in pushing certain topics forward to the public. Parmelee (2013) states that the importance of social media is heightened since political leaders also use the applications, engage with the people and allows for information to travel faster. The issues are further reached in social media with journalists and politicians using their platform to spread issues, and often the most pressing ones are shared throughout the various social media platforms. Parmelee (2013) suggests that what the journalists choose to cover influences what the public will perceive and then deem the importance of those issues. As we see currently, many issues are brought forward to the public, and more matters are forefront since the election is coming up. Once the public is informed of the political conflicts, the visibility and importance of the policy is pushed to the public.
