John,

What is a representative?

Representatives come from every corner of America, symbolizing a wide range of constituencies and working to solve issues that may or may not be unique to their particular part of the country.

In short: A representative does just that — represents.

A representative should consider the whole of their district when voting on issues — not just the private interests that fund their campaign or those in their political corner. Understanding the district from top to bottom and right to left is paramount to true representation.

Representatives are meant to bring their district to DC — the unique ideas and experiences from your area — and contribute those to the conversation of legislation. You'd build consensus and move things forward.

This is what our system was envisioned to do.

Now, however, we have the Ds and Rs, the red vs. blue, the left vs. right, legislating for all America regardless of its diversity or regional uniqueness.

It's wrong, and we need to fix this. When you elect me to represent you, I promise this:

✅ I am not your leader. I am your representative.

✅ I will be the voice of our district in DC, not the factions that have emerged.

✅ I will put policy for ALL over politics.

This is how we move to build a more perfect union. Will you donate $25 or more to help us across the finish line?
