Ranked choice gives voters amplified voice and power Over the past five years, I’ve had the opportunity to work on open primaries and ranked choice voting efforts in Nevada and now in New Mexico. I’m currently leading efforts

"SF helped blaze the trail on RCV. Rather than backpedaling b/c of a loud minority or confusing headlines, let’s double down. Let’s continue educating voters, encouraging strong candidates & making this system work the way it was intended by giving every voter more voice, more choice & more power."
