Nevins is co-publisher of The Fulcrum and co-founder and board chairman of the Bridge Alliance Education Fund.

Andy Moore is executive director of the National Association of Nonpartisan Reformers, a broad group of organizations and supporters of pro-voter democracy reform. He also serves as an entrepreneur-in-residence at the Tom Love Center for Entrepreneurship at the University of Oklahoma’s Price College of Business.


In 2019, Moore helped start People Not Politicians, a grassroots movement to end gerrymandering by creating an independent redistricting commission in Oklahoma. He currently serves on the board of directors for Rank the Vote Oklahoma and the Oklahoma chapter of Generation Citizen.

He is a staunch advocate for democracy and diplomacy, for civil and voting rights, and for making your corner of the world a better place. As a licensed professional counselor for more than 10 years, he knows that taking the time to listen and build relationships with others will pave the way to a stronger Oklahoma.

Moore received a B.S. in psychology and M.A. in marriage and family therapy from Southern Nazarene University, as well as an MBA from the University of Oklahoma. His early professional experiences in mental health and public health highlighted the need for common-sense public policy that empowers people, not holds them back. In 2016, More founded Let’s Fix This as a way to encourage civic engagement and promote good policy in Oklahoma. He lives in Oklahoma City with his wife and three chidlren, and enjoys woodworking, running half marathons, eating tacos and supporting public education.

I had the wonderful opportunity to interview Moore in April for the CityBiz “Meet the Change Leaders” series. Watch to learn the full extent of the democracy reform work he does:

Trump’s Elections Speech Was Not the Opening Shot; It was the Latest Salvo

President Donald Trump’s recent address repeating his claim that he won the 2020 election was widely portrayed as a dramatic escalation of his attacks on our election system. It wasn’t.

It is nothing new!

Mail-In Ballots Are Still Under Attack. Mobile Voting Can Protect Access To The Ballot Box.

Late last year, I became CEO of The Mobile Voting Project. Previously, I served as Chief of Staff to two United States senators, Chief of Staff at the US Department of Education, and Chief of Staff for Vice President Kamala Harris's presidential campaign. At every step in my public service career, I have always had one clear goal: making government work better for everyday people.

I believe that we cannot make government work better if we do not start at the very foundation of our government itself: democracy and voting. In my current role with The Mobile Voting Project, we are focused on making voting more seamless, secure, and accessible. We believe that putting democracy — literally — into the palms of every American’s hand is how we can boost turnout, reduce extremism, and strengthen our democracy.

Which Proportional Voting System Best Fits America’s Constraints?

In the wake of recent redistricting battles, proportional representation is having a moment. Ezra Klein devoted an entire episode to touting it as a solution to gerrymandering. A flock of Substackers and influencers chimed in. Even Kamala Harris and Pete Buttigieg came out as PR curious.

From the hubbub, you might assume that most students of US elections believe that multi-winner districts with proportional representation are the only full solution to the redistricting wars, and you’d be right. But beyond that point of consensus, agreement breaks down. Proponents split into camps over which type of proportional representation to pursue.

Closed Primaries Let 7% of Voters Choose 87% of Congress

Consider this wacky football scenario: What if only fans who declared their team loyalty before the game are allowed to watch the Super Bowl? Yep, unless you pick a team, you can’t get into the stadium. This is similar to how closed primary elections work, in which only registered voters of a specific political party can participate in that party's primary. That’s the brilliant analogy the Unite America Institute uses in a new, short explainer video describing the highly undemocratic system that dominates American primary elections.

“In most elections, the real contest is not the general election but the party primary held months before,” said Beth Hladick, Policy Director at Unite America. The new video is part of a year-long fellowship project: the Democracy and Public Service Initiative, a partnership between the National Academy of Public Administration and the Bridge Alliance.
