Scott Sipprelle for Congress and allourideas
Scott Sipprelle, who is running for U.S. Congress, has been using allourideas as part of his campaign’s effort to listen to citizens. One often hears rhetoric like that from politicians, so it is nice to see someone actually doing it in new ways.
So far, the campaign has created two idea marketplaces:
- What should be Scott’s most important focus as your new Congressman?
- What do you think is the most effective strategy for getting out Scott’s campaign message?
Participation in both idea marketplaces was strong, with more than 3,500 votes and more than 50 ideas uploaded in each one. Also, in both cases, ideas that were uploaded by constituents scored in the top 5. In other words, there were good ideas among the public that were not known to the campaign and allourideas help to find them.
As many of you know, allourideas started as a project with the student government at Princeton University so it is cool to see it being used for civic participation and governance.
