“The best message to get people to vote is the parade effect. Hey, everybody's voting! Your neighborhood is going to have incredible turnout,” said Kevin Looper, one of two guests on this episode along with Dan Lavey. Looper and Lavey are A-list political operatives with often opposing opinions and decades of experience working on candidate and ballot measure campaigns in Oregon. In this episode they had a lot of great stuff to say about voter security, how to get people to vote, mail-in-ballots, and voter suppression.
Our guest host for this episode was Karmen Fore, the director of Oregon Solutions. Fore's work has influenced changes at the local, state, and national levels. During her career she's taught, written papers, and spoken on a broad array of issues ranging from leadership, natural resources, social and economic trends, and transportation policy. She has a master’s degree in public affairs, and a bachelor’s degree in political science with a minor in planning, public policy, and management from the University of Oregon.
