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!
