Kenrick Ross: Improving Access to Information on Local Elections

May 26, 2021 Posted by: Jill Jha Kenrick Ross,  New York City,  SDG11,  USA

Kenrick: Most people don't know who their local elected officials are, what they do, or who is running to replace them. I've spent a lot of time thinking about how to make it easier for constituents to get more involved in local politics, in simple, easy, and free ways. Ultimately, the more that people are educated about policies and are participating in politics, the better. It’s a great thing not only for our communities, but for the practice of democracy in general.
