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:

Let's End Felony Disenfranchisement. Virginia May Lead the Way

When Virginia’s Governor-Elect, Abigail Spanberger, takes office next month, she will have the chance to make good on her promise to do something about her state’s outdated system of felony disenfranchisement. Virginia is one of just three states where only the governor has the power to restore voting rights to felons who have completed their prison terms.

It is the only state that also permanently strips a person’s rights to be a public notary or run for public office for a felony conviction unless the governor restores them.

Marjorie Taylor Greene Resigns: The Primary Problem Exposes America’s Broken Election System

The Primary Problem strikes again. In announcing her intention to resign from Congress in January, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) became the latest politician to quit rather than face a primary challenge from her own party.

It’s ironic that Rep. Greene has become a victim of what we at Unite America call the "Primary Problem," given that we often point to her as an example of the kind of elected official our broken primary system produces. As we wrote about her and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, “only a tiny sliver of voters cast meaningful votes that elected AOC and MTG to Congress – 7% and 20%, respectively.”

MAGA Gerrymandering, Pardons, Executive Actions Signal Heightened 2026 Voting Rights Threats

MAGA Gerrymandering, Pardons, Executive Actions Signal Heightened 2026 Voting Rights Threats

Tuesday, November 4, demonstrated again that Americans want democracy and US elections are conducted credibly. Voter turnout was strong; there were few administrative glitches, but voters’ choices were honored.

The relatively smooth elections across the country nonetheless took place despite electiondenial and anti-voting efforts continuing through election day. These efforts will likely intensify as we move toward the 2026 midterms and 2028 presidential election. The MAGA drive for unprecedented mid-decade, extreme political gerrymandering of congressional districts to guarantee their control of the House of Representatives is a conspicuous thrust of their campaign to remain in power at all costs.
