In his view, democracy requires strong civic feedback loops to function properly: citizens must engage, and governments must always design with the end-user in mind. Isaac aspires to maintain stewardship of our civic infrastructure and firmly advocates for transparency, open data, and accountability. Isaac is a devout urbanist, civic technologist, and combat service veteran.
