# VOTE VANDAL for House of Merit 🗳️ --- I am running for the House of Merit because I believe that the Near Protocol has the potential to be a truly equitable, inclusive, and diverse platform for everyone. I am committed to bridging the gap between the broader Web3 and Web2 community and the Near ecosystem through my plan to prioritize the funding of projects focused on building high-quality products that benefit everyone and attract a wide range of users. ## [Vote here](https://neardc.org/vote-vandal)
