Thank you to Susan Sayre and Regents Point for organizing an informative night! Sue Campbell from the League of Women Voters presented on all the California Propositions and I was invited to present on Irvine’s Measure D! 🙌

⏰ Just 2️⃣0️⃣ days until the Nov 3rd election! 🗳️

After the event, somebody came up to me and said, “why don’t we have ranked choice voting nationwide? It makes so much sense!” Well, that’s how we at @voterchoiceirvine feel and are working to bring it to Irvine first because meaningful changes always start at home! 🏠💕

Hit the pavement with us this weekend to bring ranked choice voting to Irvine! 🗳️👟 We are working hard to pass Measure D, giving our community a smarter, fairer way to vote.

In case you're new here: Measure D is our local ballot measure for ranked choice voting (RCV). Think of it as a significant upgrade to our elections. Voting YES on D means you can rank candidates in order of preference (1st choice, 2nd choice, 3rd choice...). It puts a stop to vote splitting, makes campaigns more polite, pushes candidates to go beyond their base to earn broader support, and, when all is said and done, the results ensures more voices are heard.

CRUCIAL DETAIL: Measure D is located at the VERY END of your ballot! 🗳️👇 Please do not stop short—make sure to scroll or scan all the way down and check YES.

We have a packed weekend of events!

🌿 Canvassing in D6 with VCI & Team Tresder (Sat AM)

🎉 Grab a pin as you enter the Global Village Festival to show your support (All day Sat - look for the purple tent!)

👟 Joining the YES on D canvas in D2 (Sun late afternoon)

This birthday will be one to remember — I got to vote 𝐘𝐄𝐒 𝐨𝐧 𝐌𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐃 to bring Ranked Choice Voting to Irvine! 🥳

- No more worrying about vote spliting!
- No more having to choose the ‘lesser of two evils’
- No more wasted ballots!
- And guarantees MAJORITY RULE!

Ranked choice voting is the fastest growing nonpartian election reform in the country with only 10 cities using it in 2016 and now 50 cities, counties, and states empowering voters across the US. It’s a simple, proven way to vote!

Let’s do this, Irvine! ✅ 𝐕𝐨𝐭𝐞 𝐘𝐄𝐒 𝐨𝐧 𝐌𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐃 (it’s the last item on the ballot).
