Rose Bud, Arkansas — with Steve Grappe

Grassroots / direct-democracy work in Arkansas
Extensive grassroots and direct-democracy organizing: helping ordinary Arkansans understand how to participate, how petitions move, and how to navigate a process that too often requires lawyers and professional infrastructure.
The Secretary of State’s office is a large statewide service organization. It is responsible for election administration and support, business and commercial services, public records, the initiative and referendum process, and stewardship of the State Capitol.
The work that matters here is leading people, managing complex systems, understanding the people who depend on them, and making those systems work better.
