Hi
My name is Guy Cammilleri. I
strongly believe that our democracy should be fair, inclusive and
representative of every American.
That’s why I’m putting up a $50,000 matching gift to
support efforts to repeal closed primaries in South Dakota this
year.
I’m deeply passionate about
advancing democracy and empowering communities through electoral
reform and voting accessibility. I currently serve on the boards of
directors of the RCV Resource Center, The California RCV Coalition,
and the advisory board of Rank The Vote.
You might be asking yourself “Ok Guy, but why South
Dakota?”
South Dakota has all the elements
in place for enacting real, meaningful reform: a deeply-connected and diverse
community of reform and
campaign leaders who represent the full spectrum of South Dakotans, a
growing electorate of independent voters (nearly 1 in 4 right now!)
and most importantly an appetite from voters of all backgrounds to
change a wildly out of touch system. Early polling shows it significantly outperforming in support
compared to the current (closed) system.
A win in South Dakota is a win for our entire movement and
helps our chances of enacting reform in other states. This is one of
the biggest opportunities the open primaries movement has in
2024.
It’s my sincere hope today you will
join me and give (significantly!) to help us get this campaign in
front of every voter in the state. If you give $100, I give $100. So,
You can give directly to the campaign
committee or to the Open
Primaries Education Fund. Both are doing incredible
outreach and organizing in South Dakota.
But I want to go beyond asking you
to just donate–I want to hear from you. Connecting with other
enthusiastic reformers is deeply inspiring to me and important in
encouraging and instructing the work I do around the country, so after
you donate–shoot me an email at [email protected].
I genuinely want to know more about how this issue is
connecting with fellow pro-democracy reformers and voters across the
country.
Thanks for listening, donating and
I look forward to hearing from you,
Guy Cammilleri
