Executive Intern
Benjamin Oestericher is an intern with the Executive Department. He is a rising freshman at Georgetown University where he intends to study International Politics. Before joining FairVote, he conducted political research, coordinated candidate communications, and managed direct persuasion and advocacy strategies with a variety of progressive political consulting firms and campaigns fighting for structural reforms to America’s politics. He is excited to work with FairVote to help fight for an electoral system that will yield more equitable and just outcomes.
FairVote’s Presidential Candidate Events Tracker has found that almost three-quarters of all 2020 campaign events took place in just six swing states, while 37 states have received no campaign attention at all.
With its recent electoral reforms, Colby University (ME) joins a growing list of more than 80 American colleges and universities that have turned to ranked choice voting to improve representation in campus elections.
