Restoring Power to the Voters: Shea Siegert of Alaskans for Better Elections
Episode 5
Thursday, 27 May, 2021
Wes and Erica had the honor of sitting down with Shea Siegert, Campaign Manager for the successful Alaskans for Better Elections movement whose victory in November brought Alaska citizens ranked-choice voting, open primaries, and greater campaign finance transparency. Shea has plenty of thoughts on why voters' powers have become so diminished under the two-party system, how voters can act to take this power back, and what we can do in the Cornhusker State to make a more civil campaign experience a reality. And, as always, Petals and Pricks!
