Pacifica Appoints New National Elections Supervisor
BERKELEY (Sept. 8) -- Pacifica Radio today announced the
appointment of veteran Voting rights activist Terry Bouricius
as the part-time National Elections Supervisor for the network's
upcoming Local Station Board elections.
Bouricius replaces outgoing Elections Supervisor David Greene
who is returning to his studies this fall.
Terry is presently a senior policy analyst for the Center
for Voting and Democracy, a Washington-DC based advocacy group
that seeks to expand and deepen voting rights and voter participation.
Terry knows the US electoral system inside and out. He was
elected five times to the Burlington City Council in Vermont
and served one term as President. In 1990, he was elected
as a Progressive to the Vermont House of Representatives,
where he served until 2001. He decided not to seek re-election
to the House of Representatives in order to work full time
with the Center for Voting and Democracy promoting voter-friendly
election reforms.
Terry has been a leader of numerous low-income neighborhood
organizations, living-wage campaigns, and peace movements.
He served as president of the board of directors of the Champlain
Valley Office of Economic Opportunity. He has also been involved
in single-payer health care reform, campaign finance reform,
anti-racist campaigns, Central America solidarity movements,
and anti-corporate WTO efforts.
Terry will continue the work of developing uniform election
policies and procedures for Pacifica as well as outreach and
education materials. He will finalize the five local election
coordinators for Pacifica's five station areas.
Terry can be reached at elections@pacifica.org
or terryb@fairvote.org
