In addition, he totally remade the College of Cardinals which will elect his successor. (This is gerrymandering that I approve of.)

I sometimes volunteer with Network (i.e. Nuns On The Bus), and they have a Pope Francis Voter initiative:

Who are Pope Francis Voters?

Catholic voters are called to defend, promote, and protect the sacredness of human life. We cannot be single issue voters. Instead, we must be Pope Francis Voters. The sacred issues the Pope asks us to bring into the voting booth include protecting people in poverty, the elderly, and migrants and rejecting racism.
