Biography

Donny Bridges is Co-founder and Director of Civic Data of the Center for Tech and Civic Life. He leads a team that’s helping to make information about government and elections accessible to all Americans nationwide and developing the data infrastructure that US civic engagement organizations need in order to have maximum impact. Prior to founding CTCL, Donny was the Election Administration Research Director at the New Organizing Institute from 2012 to 2015, where he developed his obsession with local government and its data. Donny holds BAs in Political Science and Philosophy from Stanford University. When he's not nerding out about edge cases in US elections data, he's probably nerding out about coffee, Formula 1, or half-understood concepts in quantum physics. He also recently joined a bowling league, and yes, he has made a ridiculous spreadsheet to track his team's data.
