How numbers work... 📈

Check out this cool graphic showing... Did you know the average contribution the Andrew’s campaign is just 1/5 that of his opponents? Think about it like this, every time someone gives $10 to Andrew's Republican opponents, someone else has to give $926 to make the average work. They ar…

There's no way around it, we had a 💩 week. But then Jennifer texted me this...     We must fight harder. There's nothing to be gained by getting discouraged, nothing to be won by staying home, no people to persuade by staying silent.   Jennifer committed to hosting a house party for m…

Today's big expense...

Today, we're making an investment in the future of our campaign by purchasing the data we need to reach the 59,234 likely voters in our November election.   It's going to cost us $675 (a little more than 1-cent per record). Can you chip in $20 and help me reach 2,000 voters?   That's 3…

Did you know that in federal campaigns there's no such thing as monthly reporting deadlines?   In Florida, only state and local candidates have monthly reports due, and that means us!   Apparently, our campaign is collectively a bunch of procrastinators because, like me, every month we…

Iran: My perspective from 10-years in service

I first ran for office after one of our SEALs, an American hero, didn't come home from a raid in Yemen. That raid was wrecklessly conceived, irresponsibly ordered, and stubbornly pursued. This week's attack on an Iranian General appears to be of the same vein.   I've been he…
