❤️ 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.
