Washington, DC — Common Cause announced today that longtime policy staffer Dan Vicuña will lead the organization’s anti-gerrymandering work as Director of Redistricting and Representation. He succeeds Kathay Feng in this role after she was named Common Cause’s Vice President of Programs. Vicuña steps into the position on the heels of the 50-year-old organization’s major Supreme Court victory in Moore v Harper, and as the first Latino in the role.
“For nearly a decade, Dan has been an integral part of our fight for fair maps that strengthen the voice of all Americans,” said Marilyn Carpinteyro, Common Cause interim co-president. “He brings a wealth of experience successfully advancing redistricting reforms and legal actions in the states. Dan is passionate about bringing us closer to a multi-racial, participatory, and representative democracy and he understands how ending partisan and racial gerrymandering is critical to that vision.”
