Ranked Choice Voting with Kyle Herman from Rank the Vote Ohio

In episode 27 of the United SHE Stands podcast, we sit down with Kyle Herman to talk about Ranked Choice Voting, why this democracy reform initiative is gathering support around the United States, and how it can help fix our broken system.

Kyle Herman co-founded Rank the Vote Ohio in 2020 and volunteered in different capacities until he was hired to serve as Ohio’s first full-time Executive Director with the help of their national partner Rank the Vote USA in December 2022.  Kyle's previous experience includes managing pro-democracy programs in Iraq and Lebanon, responding to letters for the White House Office of Presidential Correspondence, and teaching high school history and civics.  A proud son of Stow, Ohio, Kyle earned degrees from Ohio Wesleyan University and the Harvard Kennedy School of Government.
