Voters Not Politicians volunteers are extremely aware of how important our rights as citizens are, and how much work it takes to maintain those rights as well as our democracy.

Thousands of Voters Not Politicians volunteers worked hard to pass Proposal 22-2 last year. Now all future elections in our state will be more accessible, secure, and modern than ever before. Amending the state constitution was challenging, but more work is needed to ensure Prop 22-2 is implemented in the spirit in which it was approved.

Voters Not Politicians is continuing to grow our pro-democracy movement and our organization.

Although he joined the Board just this year, Buzz is no stranger to advancing democracy with VNP.
