Greetings,

Malina Simard-Halm is a student at Yale University. She lives in Timothy Dwight College and finds much delight in the study of foreign and domestic policy. She hails from Santa Fe, New Mexico, but was born in Los Angeles, CA.

Her favorite presidential candidate is Eugene V. Debs, and her favorite president may be FDR.

If she had to choose a single fantasy world to live in, she would be remiss because there are so many she adores (ie. Hogwarts, Percy Jackson, Ender's Game), but she would end up selecting Middle Earth.

She additionally shares a name with Malina (mythology), an Inuit Goddess.

Articles she is considering editing for Beyond Representative Government include the following:

Publicly funded elections

Party finance in Sweden

Iron triangle (US politics)

Open government

Digital India

Voter ID laws

Participatory budgeting

Citizens' Assembly on Electoral Reform (British Columbia)
