    "IRV would make it easier for diverse candidates, including those with strong environmental convictions, to get elected.”
    --Helen Burke, Sierra Club

    "IRV and public financing of political campaigns will restore our democracy."
    - Dona Spring, Berkeley Councilmember

    "Bush would not be President if Florida had IRV. For those truly interested in Democracy this is a small step in the right direction."
    - Lindsay Vurek
