Hi There,
I’ve got a wild idea: What if you could actually love your local government?
What if your Town Supervisor listened to you, told you the truth, responded quickly, and thanked you when you spoke up?
I’m Dave Kerpen — a dad, small business owner, New York Times bestselling author, and lifelong Mets fan — and I’m running for Town Supervisor of North Hempstead, NY, one of the largest towns in America. Before I tell you more, I want to ask if you would split a donation between my campaign and the good folks at Stand Up so we can make local government actually work. (Thanks!)
I’ve spent the last 20 years building businesses, coaching leaders, and helping people like you create a more likeable world. Now I want to bring those same principles — listening, transparency, authenticity, responsiveness, and gratitude — to our local government.
Because let’s face it: too many towns, ours included, are being run with too much bureaucracy, inefficiency, and politics-as-usual. It’s time for a new playbook.
Here’s mine:
✅ Cut waste and lower taxes by using technology and AI to make local government more efficient.
✅ Support small businesses by cutting red tape and revitalizing Main Street.
✅ Lead with likeability to rebuild trust in public service — one human interaction at a time.
Even if you don’t live in North Hempstead, I hope you’ll see what we’re building as something bigger: a movement to prove that nice guys can win, that entrepreneurs can lead with heart, and that everyday people — like you and me — can fix what’s broken in politics.
But I can’t do it alone! Will you split a contribution of $15, $25, or whatever you can to help launch this campaign? →
Every dollar you give brings us closer to proving that decency, innovation, and real leadership can win at the local level — and maybe, just maybe, set the stage for something even bigger.
Together, we can show the world what’s possible.
Thanks and YOU rule!
Dave Kerpen
Candidate for North Hempstead Town Supervisor
