For journalists and podcasters
I can speak to participation between elections, what civic technology has learned, innovation inside government, and the book I’m writing, The Civic Gap.
Bios, photos and quick facts are on the Press page. Talk topics and lines you can quote are below.
What I can speak to
- Having a say after election day Why the years between votes matter most, and what a working channel between residents and their representatives looks like.
- What 51 civic-tech stories taught us The recurring patterns behind platforms that tried to connect people and government, and what to learn from them.
- Innovation from the inside How new ideas actually move through government. Speaking for myself only.
- The label and the thing What we actually mean by democracy, and what keeping it costs. From The Civic Gap.
Lines you can quote
- “I believe people should have a real voice in the decisions made in their name, not only on election day.”
- “Offices get plenty of contact and very little signal.”
- “A four-year term is 1,461 days. Election day is one of them.”
