Rick Hubbard, Walking Across America To Fix Democracy,
To Speak in Milwaukee With Local Democracy Reform Advocates
Journey began in Los Angeles, 2022, will end in January 2025 in Washington, DC

A recent Gallup poll shows a majority of Americans across the political spectrum don't feel our democracy is working for us.  This is sure to remain an issue after the November election.  Rick Hubbard, 82 years old, is doing something about it.  He’s been walking across America for more than a year already, connecting with others who are advocating for solutions.  Hubbard has walked across Wisconsin in recent weeks, and soon arrives in Milwaukee.

“We have the ability to make our political system more inclusive, more competitive and more representative, “ said Hubbard. “Our walk is a nonpartisan effort to make the case across the U.S. that fixing democracy first is the most effective way to unlock progress on issues important to us all.” 

Hubbard’s appearance is sponsored by Voters First Wisconsin, a nonprofit, all volunteer group committed to bringing Final Five Voting to Wisconsin through education and outreach. 

Final Five Voting entails a single primary open to candidates from all parties, with up to five candidates of any party moving on to a general election.  At the general election an instant runoff is used where voters have the opportunity to rank the five candidates in the order of their preference.  This allows the determination of a true majority winner.
