 Hi, my name is Chris Raleigh, Director of Campaigns and Advocacy for the Center for Election Science. As the Director of Campaigns and Advocacy, well, I help with our ongoing campaigns. I build up our grassroots organization, including our chapter program, which many of you are a part of. And the rest of the time, I act as a resource for folks who want to empower the community to better voting methods. I live in Virginia with my partner Jane, right outside Washington, D.C., which we love. In better times, you could see us on taking a metro train to go have a drink someplace that we would put on our Instagram rail drinks. It's very clever and you should follow it. It's very fun. We love it so much that I even propose to her by surprising her on a moving metro train. That is a story for another day. I'm originally from St. Petersburg, Florida. Growing up, I was bit of a beach bum and didn't really pay attention to what I would do with my life. Even in my college years at my school, which I love, the University of Florida, Go Gators, I still didn't know what I wanted to do with my life. Then in 2012, my friend took me to go knock on doors for the presidential campaign, and I was hooked. For years after that, I worked as a campaign manager on every kind of race from dog catcher to US Congress. I love working on campaigns. They are extremely fun and more people should work on them. It's so fun to be on the front page of history and to work as a team and to work on something bigger than yourself. occasionally I get the opportunity to pass that passion along to young people as a counselor at Florida American Legion Boy State, where young people learn to love our political process and to learn how to defend it. And speaking of which, working on campaigns is how I realize that even if my person won, the system was very, very broken. The system incentivized us as campaign people to talk to as few people as possible. It was a system that we were contributing to that made sure that year after year election after election, people got passed over. And it wasn't just the elections, they were getting passed over, was bleeding over into how these people were treated even after the elections were over. That system has got to end. It is bad for democracy. Democracy needs to fight back. It needs to upgrade, fight back. And I think approval voting is that upgrade. And I think in time, you will as well. So if you want to make a change in your community, drop me a line at chris-election-science.org.
