✊ Why I'm Running

I'm running because I believe our government should represent the working class, not the wealthy elite. For too long, politics has worked against us. The problem isn't the idea of government—it's the people we elect into it who forget who they work for. I am the answer. I take no donations and solicit no funds, putting me, the candidate, truly in your debt—not a donor's.

❤️ A Personal Appeal from Berlin: My Path to the 2026 Ballot

The Goal is Simple. The Mountain is Huge.

I'm running because I believe in true representation—for all of us. But before we can even talk about winning, I have to conquer the first, most daunting challenge: getting on the ballot.

To do that, I need to collect a staggering 5,000 to 15,000 registered voter signatures before the deadline in May 2026. To put that in perspective, if I were running with a major party, I would only need 1,000 signatures. This unfair hurdle is just one way the system is designed to keep independent voices out.

This isn't just a political hoop; it's a test of whether a truly grassroots campaign—one powered by people, not super PACs—can succeed.

My Personal Promise to You

I refuse to take donations just to pay a third-party firm to collect signatures for me. I believe this campaign must be built on real, personal connections.

That means I am the one person dedicating every spare moment to meeting voters and collecting these thousands of signatures. It is an audacious, exhausting goal, but I cannot do it alone.

I Need Your Partnership

Your belief in this movement is the most valuable resource I have. If you've been looking for a way to make a real, tangible impact, this is it. I need partners—people who are ready to put feet on the ground with me.

Here’s how you can help me climb this mountain:

  • Be My Eyes and Ears: Do you know of a local festival, a farmer's market, or a community event that draws a crowd? I need your tips and insider knowledge to find the best foot traffic. Shoot me an email with any upcoming opportunities.
  • Join Me on the Pavement: Volunteer a few hours of your time. Let’s scout your neighborhood together, or canvas a local area. Your presence makes all the difference.

You can always check my Facebook page to see where I'll be next (just remember, those tricky craft shows usually won't let a political campaign in the door!).

If you share the vision of a truly people-powered campaign, please reach out. Let's make this happen, together.

Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.
— Berlin
