Independent Candidates the New Black

(SAN RAMON) --- Independent candidacy is the new black.

As the cover photo below notes, a Gallup Poll proves the same.

And if anyone knows about a trusted news source, Gallup is one.

Whether it is fashionable, as the cultural definition below suggests, I am not sure. What I do know is that the only way to achieve true victory for "all concerned" is to run as an independent candidate.

That is why I founded OpGov.ai after the 2024 San Ramon mayoral race.

OpGov.ai is literally inspired by who gets up at the podium, not who sits on the dais.

I have been making videos, as you will see below, that only fuel my candidacy and prove that an Independent victory is possible. Not only is it possible, but a new wave of citizens stepping forth with me to build a strong Independent ticket must happen.

There is nothing to stop you. You don't need money. You need faith that change is possible with action.

Newark Councilwoman Eve Little is a perfect example of that. Winning on less than $5K and already making a marked difference in her first year on the dais.

I show the open seats below, proving that the color scheme needs to change.

There is not only "no better time for change," but it is necessary for the survival of democracy.

George Washington, upon leaving office as the first president in 1796, wrote, "The spirit of party serves always to distract the public councils and enfeeble the public Administration."

The Democrat-Republican debate has become about WHO is right, instead of WHAT is right. That is why having an Independent voice is so critical moving forward.

If you are interested in stepping up, please contact me. Do not let money or fear stop you. Be independent, because many independents can become a community of change, which is the only hope left.
