Democracy is not a given. Our system of government requires constant reinvention to survive. An AI technology executive and military veteran, Ramon Perez founded Digital Democracy Project to address systemic problems in our electoral system that result in hyper-partisanship and widespread voter alienation. To achieve better outcomes, he believes we can use technology as a catalyst for building a more modern, inclusive system of government that gives greater control directly to voters.
