🗳️ Ranked Choice Voting — Empowering Every Voice
Ben Wieman is proud to champion Ranked Choice Voting (RCV) as a cornerstone of democratic reform in Minnesota. RCV ensures that every voter’s voice truly counts by allowing you to rank candidates in order of preference — eliminating the spoiler effect and encouraging more civil, issue-focused campaigns.
When voters can rank their choices, they’re free to support the candidates who truly represent their values — without worrying about “throwing away” their vote. That’s real democracy, and it’s what District 17B deserves.
Why Ranked Choice Voting Matters for Rural Minnesota:
- More choices, more representation — Voters get to express their full range of preferences
- Less negative campaigning — Candidates compete for second and third choices, encouraging coalition-building
- Stronger rural voices — RCV helps ensure candidates must earn broad support across diverse communities
- Cost savings — Eliminates the need for expensive runoff elections
Ben Wieman: Fighting for fair elections and stronger democracy in District 17B.
