Accountability, Transparency, and Integrity in Local Government
Erik van Mechelen's work toward ending election corruption and re-establishing accountability started in 2021. Joining grassroots county commissioner meetings, he learned more about election laws, process, and electronic systems—he published a brief book on his initial findings called [S]elections in Minnesota. He ran for MN Secretary of State as a republican in the August 9, 2022 primary election, accruing nearly 111,000 votes (36.9%).
Erik also helps people discover and share their stories in written form.
