Reviews
""Thought provoking ideas to terminate polarization and extremism in America.""
"""A must read for anyone who wants a sane democracy.""--Danielle Allen, professor of political philosophy, ethics, and public policy, Harvard University ""Thought provoking ideas to terminate polarization and extremism in America.""--Arnold Schwarzenegger, 38th Governor of California ""The Primary Solution shows how our political system is designed to empower extremists, how we can fix it, and how the vast majority of Americans stand to gain from more open and democratic elections that lead to more sensible and practical government.""--Michael Bloomberg, founder of Bloomberg and Bloomberg Philanthropies, former mayor of New York City ""The Primary Solution makes the strongest case yet for modernizing partisan primaries -- to elect leaders who are loyal to their constituents, not their party.""--Kim Wyman, former Washington Secretary of State ""A bold proposal for significant political change. . . . Argues forcefully for abolishing partisan primaries that allow participation only by voters registered as Republican or Democrat. . . . A fresh, timely political analysis.""-- ""Kirkus Reviews"" ""America's greatest threat is our own internal division. We have wandered into a dark forest of bitter discourse and growing animosity. The Primary Solution illuminates a powerful yet practical pathway out...We should grasp it with courage and enthusiasm.""--James Stavridis, Admiral, U.S. Navy (Retired); 16th Supreme Allied Commander at NATO"
Author Information
Nick Troiano is the founding executive director of Unite America, a philanthropic venture fund that invests in nonpartisan election reform to foster a more representative and functional government. Since 2019, Unite America has invested over $50 million to help win three major statewide ballot initiatives and over a dozen state legislative and municipal policy victories. In 2014, Troiano ran for the US House of Representatives in Pennsylvania's 10th District and was both the youngest candidate of the cycle and the most competitive independent Congressional candidate nationally in over two decades. Nick earned both his BA and MA in American government from Georgetown University and, as an undergraduate, cofounded an endowed Social Innovation and Public Service Fund. He regularly provides commentary to a range of media outlets on topics of democracy and politics, and he has been featured in three documentaries: Follow the Leader, Broken Eggs, and Unrepresented. He lives in Denver, Colorado.
