Novoselic is an activist and the chairman of Fair Vote, an electoral reform organization. Novoselic was a former chairman of his county’s Democrat Party and was an early supporter of Barack Obama.
However, Novoselic’s politics are hard to categorize; for example, he’s given money to Ron Paul’s campaigns over the years and came out strongly in favor of the Citizens United Supreme Court decision, which makes it easier for independent groups to raise and spend money in political elections.
