Fix Our House
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fix Our House is an American nonprofit electoral reform organization that advocates for instituting proportional representation (PR) in the House of Representatives. The organization views PR as a solution to polarization, gerrymandering, safe and uncontested seats, and hyper-partisan primaries.[2] The group has ties to the anti-filibuster Fix Our Senate.[3][4]

Goals
In an interview with Roll Call, co-founder Eli Zupnick stated, "We are much more focused on making the case for proportional representation, generally, as a first step — for people to understand why this is important, to understand why the current system is broken."[5]
Fix Our House supports amending or repealing Uniform Congressional District Act, a 1967 law that states "no district [is] to elect more than one Representative."[6] The group advocates changing single-member districts in House races to multi-member districts, sometimes by splitting states into several districts with multiple members.[7][8]
