For the past decade, Dr. Gronke has worked to improve access and ensure integrity in the American elections system, helping to guarantee that every eligible citizen in the United States can participate in our democratic system.

Paul lives with his family in the beautiful city of Portland, OR where he cycles, sits in coffee shops, gardens, and follows politics. If you’re really nice to him, he may give you some home-grown vegetables or something that he’s pickled.
