Ideologix Insights powering PollTheVote.com

Rescheduled for Wednesday 3/5! Hope to see you at the Ashton building at Millwork Commons next Wednesday, March 5th at 8:30am to learn about the startup origin story of Ideologix Insights powering PollTheVote.com and chat with some of our crew at the 1 Million Cups Omaha weekly networking session.

I'm impressed with how many civic engagement activities there are taking place in North Omaha to bring the community together. I believe this to be reflective in the number of residents that have stepped forward with interest in running for the District 2 City Council position in the upcoming election. As I write this, I"m aware of 11 possible individuals that are working to gather signatures to make next week's deadline to be an official candidate. Simply Amazing. I've had the great fortune to attend many community events and share about Ideologix Insights powering PollTheVote.com. One friendly face has been Asia Rollins, journalist with the The Omaha Star. I appreciate Asia taking interest in our new platform; telling our story and introducing Michella Blankman as our community liaison supporting North & South Omaha specifically. Please take a moment and read Asia's article on our blog at: https://lnkd.in/gcAAtnQ3

It's not every day you wake up to being front page news where a little dream is shared with the State of Nebraska.... https://lnkd.in/gyaUN2WQ Over 6 months ago, I met Cindy Gonzalez with the Nebraska Examiner at a townhall held by several Omaha and Lincoln-area State Senators just before the special summer legislature session started. It was a quick introduction as she was busy covering the event. Periodically, she has checked in with our new little startup, Ideologix Insights powering PollTheVote.com, keeping track of our forward progression. Last week, was a culmination milestone for our team as we achieved what we set out to do from the first day; to collect public sentiment rapidly and provide our elected officials with real time data to guide their decision making on behalf of the people of Nebraska. It was equally exciting when Cindy shared that it was time to tell our story!Cindy, THANK YOU, for putting into words a full expression of what we hope to achieve. It's not even 10am and we have record number of new Nebraskans registering to participate!! #NebraskaExaminer #CindyGonzalez #PollTheVote
