Follow the latest news coverage and media releases from the Fairness Project as we work to win and protect ballot measures across the country.
That’s according to Kelly Hall, executive director of the Fairness Project, which funds and organizes more progressive state ballot measure efforts across the country. The group helped pay for and oversee message testing for Michigan and Vermont as the campaigns were kicking into high gear this summer.
The Fairness Project cemented its status as a key driver of state health policies in the midterms, winning popular votes on ballot questions dealing with abortion rights, Medicaid expansion and medical debt.
“We now see a clear path forward for defending the right to choice: through ballot measures,” said Kelly Hall, executive director of the Fairness Project, a progressive group that helps organize ballot measures. “When voters have a chance to decide on this issue, they choose to protect their rights.”
Kelly Hall, executive director of the Fairness Project, which advocates for progressive-leaning ballot measures, said her organization is also exploring options in those states, along with Missouri, Oklahoma, Arkansas and South Dakota.
“Before now, voters had never taken up medical debt on a statewide ballot measure, but Arizonans have charted a path forward to take on predatory lenders through direct democracy,” said Kelly Hall, executive director of the Fairness Project – a national non-profit which helped fund and organize around the initiative.
On Election Day, the Fairness Project expanded its win record by securing six new ballot measure victories on key progressive policies to benefit working people in America, including campaigns to codify reproductive freedom in Michigan and Vermont, expand Medicaid in South Dakota, and raise the minimum wage in Nebraska to $15 an hour.
“Before now, voters had never taken up medical debt on a statewide ballot measure, but Arizonans have charted a path forward to take on predatory lenders through direct democracy," Fairness Project executive director Kelly Hall said in a statement Wednesday.
"In red states, purple states and blue states alike, voters do not want to see more restrictions on abortion, and they also don't trust politicians to make this decision for them that are taking matters into their own hands at the ballot box," said Kelly Hall, the executive director of The Fairness Project.
