On August 19, 2026, the day after the partisan primary election, I plan to officially launch my campaign. I believe this is a more effective strategy, against the general election candidates on November 3, 2026, rather than campaigning against 6 partisan primary candidates, where I am not even on the ballot!

Public-record research limitation
This is not a finding that the candidate has never held public office or taken an official action. No identity-safe member-level archive is currently attached; FactVote excludes fuzzy and same-name matches and does not infer a negative from missing or silent sources.
Official filings may be amended after publication.
No campaign-finance totals are displayed because the federal candidate identity is unresolved or ambiguous. FactVote does not attach same-name or fuzzy FEC records.
Every profile claim points back to retained source evidence.
