Nancy (below, middle) is executive director of Voters Not Politicians. She knew that something needed to change in Michigan. So she built an army of over 4,000 volunteers that collected 425,000 signatures to qualify for the ballot.pic.twitter.com/Y6k4QdWEyz

Nancy and team achieved a historic victory in November! The proposal passed with 61% of the vote (including a county where Trump won by 20 points). The IRC was enshrined in Michigan’s constitution in December.pic.twitter.com/ImyorXiyO2
