Meet Robert Buderi


I believe electoral reform is the most important step towards a better democracy. With government shutdowns and partisan gridlock, it’s no wonder why public approval of congress is so low. Yet, I believe that there are fundamental steps we can take right now to improve representation and accountability of government and, in the process, provide not just an incentive but an imperative for politicians to cooperate and do their jobs.
Working at Fairvote, I’m especially excited about the broad experience I hope to obtain this summer. What appealed to me from my internship interview was the opportunity to work in all areas of a small organization. I may be working in the development department, but also have to coordinate with communications, legal, and research. Additionally, I will be doing my own research project on international electoral systems, which I will utilize in a paper I will write with a professor for course credit upon my return to McGill University.
