Well, I’ve certainly thought about it for years (decades) but just decided to take the plunge this week. Now the site will be shared between my campaign, and other personal things. I just put up some basic placeholder content, with a pledge to provide full material by March 6, which is the due date for final filing.
A few minor edits and clarifications are now live, with much more content coming in the next few days. Stay tuned!
(this is verbatim what I put on the campaign landing page)
There are still “hours to go”, so spend that minute if you haven’t already.
I just posted my “Campaign Closing” video to social and my short-video catalog, take a look.
Many thanks to all who have supported me on this fantastic adventure. I’ll be posting a full retrospective in a week or so, after what I consider a well-deserved break. See you then!
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!
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!
I realized that the issue underlying everything I’m doing with this campaign is Equal Representation. It’s something we aspire to as a nation, and I believe it needs attention.

But the big news today is: This is my last day at work — I’ll be retired as of this evening!
Now the campaign kicks into high gear, with district-wide visits, more interviews and appearances, new campaign materials, and regular site updates.
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.
