- FAIR ELECTIONS TEAM
The Fair Elections Team’s purpose is to "ensure fair representation for Greater Green Bay constituents." The team is currently focused on ensuring Non-Partisan Redistricting (NPR) (i.e. preventing gerrymandering) and National Popular Vote (NPV). Because maps are drawn every 10 years, we are currently focused on several NPR activities: understanding current/proposed legislation, educating the public, getting a referendum question on upcoming ballots, and encouraging our political candidates to support NPR.
Future efforts will include ensuring the new Brown County Redistricting Procedure gets followed and determining how we can improve the voting process (vote by mail, election security, rank choice voting, etc.).
To join the Fair Elections Team contact Jane Benson at janebenson [at] new.rr.com.
