Ramon Perez The Digital Democracy Project S5E34 03.23.2026
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Today, we welcome Ramon Perez to the podcast. Ramon is an expert on Artificial Intelligence, a former military officer, and Executive Director at the Digital Democracy Project (DDP). After years in both civic service and the tech sector, he’s made it his mission to bridge the gap between citizens and government. DDP, which he leads, now operates in seven states, empowering people to directly weigh in on the real legislation their representatives consider, and to hold those officials publicly accountable for the outcomes. Ramon’s approach stands out because he views political disengagement as a systems problem, one he tackles with transparency, technology, and steadfast nonpartisanship.
Ramon personally connects to the struggle to make democracy matter for everyone. Drawing on his own story after military service and on the inspiration of classmates who gave everything in defense of democratic ideals, Ramon frames his work to restore trust and invite all of us back into the conversation.
