** Partner Spotlight on New Mexico Open Elections
------------------------------------------------------------
Hi ,
Happy Holidays! In this season of giving and gratitude, we at Unite America are excited to express our heartfelt thanks to our state and national partners working nationwide to empower voters and improve our democracy.
To that end, in lieu of Three Things Thursday, we’ll be uplifting the incredible work of grantees through our Storytelling Series: Partner Spotlight edition. This series showcases the relentless efforts of individuals and organizations in the movement who are champions of election reforms. Their shared goal? To ensure voters have better choices, more power, and greater representation.

I sat down for an in-depth conversation with NMOE’s team: Sila Avcil, the passionate executive director, Bob Perls, the founder and former state representative, and Perry Radford, NMOE’s volunteer and communications coordinator, to learn more about their vision and recent progress.
Here’s a glimpse into the compelling insights the interview will reveal:
* Discover the intricate legislative path of a pivotal bill aimed at opening state primaries to independents. Sila provides an in-depth look at the bill's progress and its implications. The outcome? Delve into the full interview to find out!
* Imagine a world where every vote counts. Perry unveils how New Mexico's closed primary system bars more than 300,000 voters from participating in elections. Her insights on hope and engagement are a must-read!
* Bob points out America's role as a beacon of democracy globally, while stressing the urgent need for domestic reforms. He provides a perspective that challenges, enlightens, and inspires action.
For the full story and to understand why "American democracy isn't working the way it's supposed to," dive into our complete interview ([link removed]) . And stay tuned for our second Spotlight next week!
Warm holiday wishes,
Alana
