Most political campaigns are informally organized into 4 phases:

• Phase 1 - Introduction
  Candidates make themselves known to the community or capitalize on their existing name ID.

• Phase 2 - Voter ID
  Campaign identifies their voter universe, all voters who may be willing to vote for the candidate.

• Phase 3 - Persuasion
  Identifying undecided voters and working to make them confirmed supporters.

• Phase 4 - GOTV (Get Out the Vote)
  Ensure all confirmed supporters cast a ballot in the election.

I designed this campaign to subvert that process and actually take the electorate on a journey. Let’s bring new meaning to the “Campaign Trail.” Each of our seven phases has been organized with a specific goal in mind.

Together they will weave my point of view into digestible policy positions and enable greater civic participation regardless of election outcomes.

JUNE - AUGUST 2025

Town Halls, forums, and community meetings are essential to maintaining a functioning democracy.

The destabilization of our civic society is due in part to the lack of consistent community dialogue and civic discourse. From Ancient Rome to Colonial America, the architects of our political system were always talking. Be it in a market, a lecture, the streets, or in church, the dialogue was essential.

Furthermore, the lack of discourse has created a vacuum now filled with rampant false information worsened by digital echo chambers. There is no check on the false information we consume online. Things must change and that starts with us.

Changing the narrative is difficult. Having a conversation is not. Come to a digital town hall and let’s engage in some honest discussion.

I cannot promise an answer to every question, but I guarantee an honest attempt.

Register here and I hope to see you soon.

Once this Phase ends, voting season will be in full effect. Check out Phase 002: 2025 ELECTION GOTV below to see what’s in store.

SEPTEMBER - NOVEMBER 2025

Presidential elections have the highest voter turnout. Federal midterms come in second. Third are gubernatorial races like on Tuesday, November 4, 2025. Coming in last are state midterms, when the entire Senate is on the ballot…

We are at a pivotal moment in the representative democracy experiment. Our FREEDOM is at risk and it may be lost for generations. Getting out the vote should be the top priority for every political leader, whether they are on the ballot or not. We cannot afford less.

Unfortunately, the United States operates on norms and the norm isn’t for all political leaders to stress voting unless their position is at risk. It’s weird. Not that we are a country running almost entirely on vibes, that’s weird too, but that the entire Party apparatus doesn't maximize its effectiveness. One reason the urgency of the moment isn’t reflected in public sentiment is the lack of urgency shown by our leaders. No one believes we’re three steps from a dictatorship when everyone has a full face of makeup and tailored suits. “Y’all had time for that?” Is the question on everyone's mind.

PHASE 002: 2025 ELECTION GOTV is about showing what it looks for political campaigns to combat fascism. It's not through speeches, galas, or condemnations in press releases. No. Culling authoritarian appetites requires maximizing political participation, even when you have nothing to gain. That goes for neighboring toss up seats too.

Lovers of FREEDOM, Champions of Liberty, must win every time. Autocrats need only win once. Our current political reality is anecdotal proof. Elections are the only time the government must listen to its people. Any other time our concerns are merely suggestions.

Once the ballots are cast and the results are verified, we’ll need to analyze what happened and what it means for the future. Check out PHASE 003: POST ELECTION ANALYSIS below to see what’s in store.

NOVEMBER 2025

Steve Kornacki and his big board are great. But outside the run up to the election, they keep Steve locked in the back. We need more Steve.

I take issue with us never meaningfully processing election results. Everyone stresses the outcome, pundits give their hot takes, the winning party celebrates, then we move on.

We haven't even accepted the reasons Harris lost in 2024. Everyone is operating from a separate narrative that aligns with their world view. That's the problem. We aren’t moving together to address what went wrong.

WE ALL MUST BE ON WHAT?!

Understanding how people voted, whether they voted at all, and how population shifts affected results help unpack the message voters are sending. However, getting to that end requires actual engagement with the data, not hot takes.

The electorate needs to be walked through the data to make informed decisions. I do it every year. This year, I want you to join me.

What we learn here will position us to accurately set our sights on 2026. This campaign needs every sliver of certainty it can get and PHASE 003: POST ELECTION ANALYSIS is a step in the right direction.

After PHASE 003, the real campaign begins.
PHASE 004: FRONTLINE. Find out more below.

DECEMBER 2025

The Big Three produce most of your problems. That’s why they're the BIG THREE. However, talking about the abstract and literal importance of FREEDOM, CLIMATE, and TECHNOLOGY does nothing to advance the conversations on food insecurity or skyrocketing rents. Baby, ain't nobody worried about atmospheric carbon when they could be homeless next week. I get it.

FRONTLINE is will be a rapid fire policy breakdown of the top issues affecting VA-03.

1. The Cost of Living Crisis;

2. Public Safety;

3. Military Industrial Complex (Trust me… I know.); and

4. Collective Liberation

Each week in December we’ll traverse the FRONTLINE. Life doesn't have to be this hard. In fact, the difficulty is designed to keep you from focusing on the abstract problems that guide humanity.

By the end I hope to have earned your trust and proven that though I may talk about issues that seem far from home, they are moments away from our front door.

I am not an out of touch elitist. I’m one of you who got access to knowledge I shouldn't have. My sights are set on our future. I ask for the tools and resources to do my best to build a future for all of us.

That future runs straight through PHASE 005: THE BIG THREE. Check out the next section for a glimpse at the future.

JANUARY - APRIL 2025

FREEDOM. CLIMATE. TECHNOLOGY.

Most, if not all, issues we face trace themselves to The Big Three. Together The Big Three form an existential threat to life as we know it. We must take responsibility as the evolutionary caretakers of the planet. Period.

Phase 005: The Big Three will walk through FREEDOM, CLIMATE, and TECHNOLOGY so that every person, regardless of education or experience, can understand the threats to our existence.

The present does not exist in a silo. You did not fall out of a coconut tree. You exist within the context. Thousands of years of human history produced this moment. It’s time we honor our journey. Not as individuals, but parts of something greater. A something that we may never understand.

What will our legacy be?

This is KNOW YOUR TURF fully realized. During this phase we will be hosting town halls across the district. I’ve presented you my platform and met you where you are. Now, come tell me how you feel. Do you seen this campaign as your political home?

Will these ideas help you? Has the way we’ve run our campaign been beneficial? What would you have liked to see but didn’t? How confident are you in my candidacy? Ask these questions and more as we set the stage for an historic election in November 2026.

This is one last lap around the district so you know I hear you.

4 Town Halls in Hampton. 4 Town Halls in Newport News. 6 Town Halls in Norfolk. 3 Town Halls in Portsmouth. 3 Town Halls in Chesapeake.

007.

It's fitting this campaign will “end” on the lucky number 7.

At this point the campaign will have given all it has and now is the time to ensure we have the vote count to win the election. This phase will be an all hands on deck endeavor. We need a deicisve victory to send a message to voters in VA-03 and across the country, the Democratic Party, the Republican Party, and Donald Trump that the politics they know is over and a new wave has washed ashore.

We know the exact number of votes we need to win and we will work tirelessly to exceed out vote count.

This campaign isn't a response. It is its own message. Too often candidates try to craft a platform based on popular opinion, I’ve sent out to create one based on Truth.

I’m not looking to play a role. I’m here to put words to action and build the political infrastructure that should be inherent to our lives.

There is a right way and a wrong way to do things. I cannot promise everything this campaign does will be correct. However, I can assure you it will be miles better than the status quo.

In the event we raise the funds to execute each Phase with precision, I have a revolutionary way to use campaign dollars to fortify our community without relying on Washington.

Let's do a little math.

There are nearly 500k registered voters in VA-03. About 20% are Republicans. Leaving at least 400k potential sponsors.

If half of registered voters agree to participate in our community buy back, we would raise $2 million a month.

What could we do with all that cash?

Venture capitalists, private equity, and billionaires routinely pools their money together to buy businesses to increase their cash flow. Why don’t we do the same?

Community owned grocery stores. Community owned gardens. Community development grants. Community enrichment programs. Donations to youth centers. Scholarships.

We could go further. What if we create the jobs needed to sustain ourselves? What if we created funds to lower the barriers to entry for vital small businesses? What if we bought back the block?

The crux of this campaign is that the current political zeitgeist is shortchanging you. If we proceed down this road, collective liberation will be ours regardless of what the government says.
