744 Kelly Riordan: We Will Decide

Why a Cardiac Sonographer Created a Game Changing Database to Track Lawmaker Votes

Let’s face it, a lot of people are freaked out right now, not knowing what or whom to believe, not even sure if their votes will count in the upcoming U.S. midterm elections, with democracy under threat in this bitterly divided country.

There is a lot of disinformation and conspiracy theories out there, including what’s known as the “Big Lie” from the 2020 elections that lead to the January 6^th violent insurrection, and since, efforts by many Republican state legislatures to suppress the vote and worse.

Kelly Riordan got so fed up she decided to take matters into her own hands. She says she used to be a typical apathetic voter, but with democracy itself under threat, she says being uninformed is no longer an option. She says picking up bits and pieces of news is useless. How do you know what is real and what isn’t, with all the fearmongering, fake news, and hysteria?

Voting history, on the other hand, is real and cannot be manipulated.

Years ago, when Kelly decided to research candidates, she got frustrated with Google and decided to build a website that would allow her to find the information she wanted. A cardiac sonographer, Kelly financed her platform WeWillDecide.com by credit cards and basic scrimping and saving.

Six years later Wewilldecide.com is teeming with information and you can search for whatever you care about, in effect voting on the same bills that your congressmen and women do. The site then compares the two to give you your personalized approval rating. Kelly says her most fervent wish is to give the users the gift of smugly ignoring every bit of annoying political advertising and empowering them to do their own due diligence, based on actual numbers, to find out exactly how much you agree with the incumbent.
