I have taught US elections and voting practices at Orange and <br /> Durham County Literacy Councils as well as to heterogeneous populations that varied by <br /> ethnicity, socioeconomic background, age, level of literacy, language proficiency, and more. <br /> Notably, I have been fortunate enough to interact with diverse groups of voters, listen to their <br /> specific concerns, encourage them to learn about candidates and issues. I bring to this board <br /> my knowledge of election laws, ability to teach, and experience of working with North Carolina <br /> voters. <br /> Additionally, I bring over 20 years of professional expertise in conducting scientific research, <br /> teaching and writing to this advisory group. <br /> Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: <br /> In North Carolina, a citizens€TMs life is most directly impacted by the decisions and work of the <br /> county commissioners. It is therefore critical the process of electing the BOCC be clear to the <br /> voters and fair to the candidates. It is well documented that confused voters are unlikely to vote. <br /> Thus, a clear voting protocol is essential to promote voting and citizen engagement. <br /> Recently candidates have stated that the 2020 primarys€TMs narrow win by a District 1 <br /> candidate may have resulted from voter confusion and voting pattern irregularities. <br />
