Expanding Access to the Ballot and Defending our Democracy

Earl began his career in politics by advocating to lower the voting age in Oregon and has continued to fight to expand access to the ballot box. He believes that the right to vote is the cornerstone of a representative democracy. He supports:

Automatic voter registration to promote voter turnout and ensure every eligible American is able to participate in elections.

Universal vote by mail modeled after Oregon’s successful statewide vote at home program, which makes it easier for seniors, students, and working people to vote on time.

Campaign Finance Reform to reduce the influence of big donors, diversify candidates, and build campaigns on small donors and real people. stop corporations and wealthy donors from influencing our elections.
