Major update to Home page

The home page is essentially complete, outlining what I and the campaign are about. Several supporting pages are also in place, plus some “coming soon” placeholder pages as I continue to flesh out my views for your consideration.

Of special note, I’ve outlined my plan for a District Advisory Council, a centerpiece of the campaign.

Still missing (not even placeholder pages) but also in the works: My bio, and my “positions” on issues. In short, my position on most issues is that a range of options are reasonable. I resist settling on specific solutions until time for debate has been exhausted — this is how I believe Congress should operate.

  • Filed!

    Ok, just filed my 40+ nomination signatures and other forms. Everything looks good, and I’m expecting to be officially on the list by Monday. Took the oath!

    I’m repurposing my site to focus on the campaign, with any personal bits tucked into a corner but still up. Things will be in flux as I finish putting together campaign materials, including introduction video, for Tuesday. Stay tuned!

  • Getting Social…

    Happy Cinco de Mayo everyone. I’ll be 65 tomorrow, celebrating with family and friends in home town Berkeley.

    I starting posting to social media, and dove right into issues around Voting (HANVA), which is a bit off base — I probably shouldn’t assume people immediately rush to spend an hour on the site. But social is fluid, I’ll post more today and later this week about the positive side of this campaign — how we can, in principle, pull back from the partisan mess we find ourselves in. That’s what it’s about, after all.

    My interview on KQNY Quincy starts airing today, check it out!

  • Full site update complete

    But the big news today is: This is my last day at work — I’ll be retired as of this evening!

    Tonight’s update takes us from roughly 20% complete (just the fundamentals) to about 70%, with the full shape of the campaign clearly mapped out. There’s enough to answer most of the ‘why’ and ‘how’ questions about the campaign.

    There are too many additions and updates to list, but a few of note:

    I hope to soon meet many of you in person! Keep in touch.

  • Preparing content

    A few minor edits and clarifications are now live, with much more content coming in the next few days. Stay tuned!

  • We have Liftoff!

    Mostly just got my intro and basic videos posted. Hit a last-minute snag with GoDaddy DNS, but their tech support got me through it. Stressful. A good reminder of engineering tradeoffs — stability vs. cost. Noted.

    Follow the campaign on this site for now. Email list sign-up coming soon, along with social media posts. Stay tuned!

  • 2 weeks to go…

    Time flies! I’ve been talking to voters, and doing a lot of research, and have come to learn just how disheartened and disgusted so many of you are. It’s worse than I thought.

    In this last phase I’ll be focusing on calling out bullshit of various sorts, because there really is a lot, and I’m convinced it’s what drives so many voters to just tune it all out. Not healthy for our would-be government of the people.

    I’ve posted two related videos (short and long), based on the new focus. More to come as fast as I can produce them.

    Outreach continues, along with various site improvements to make it easier for people to find what they need to know about me and this campaign. Onward to the finish!
