After months of relentless effort, I’m thrilled to announce that I am officially on the ballot for the U.S. Congressional election in Virginia’s 8th District. This milestone wouldn’t have been possible without your unwavering support and the expertise of Knock AI.

The Journey to the Ballot

Securing a spot on the ballot in Virginia is a challenging task. The Commonwealth requires 1,000 signatures from registered voters within the district, each page notarized. This ensures that only the most committed candidates make it through. I’m incredibly proud that our campaign met these rigorous standards.

Overcoming Challenges

Balancing this demanding process with ongoing campaign activities took more time and effort than anticipated. With the help of Knock AI, we efficiently navigated these complexities, allowing us to focus on gathering signatures without missing deadlines or compromising accuracy.

The Role of Knock AI

Knock AI played a crucial role. Their team engaged with the community, collecting signatures and overcoming the challenge of introducing me to voters. Their dedication ensured we met Richmond’s requirements without falling short.

I’m running to address critical issues like data privacy, government transparency, and the intersection of technology and public service. Now that we’re on the ballot, we can bring these conversations to a wider audience.

Moving Forward

As we shift from ballot access to full-fledged campaigning, I want to thank everyone who contributed time, energy, and signatures. Your dedication proves that we can drive change. I pledge to continue advocating for transparency, open data, and innovative solutions to modernize our government.

Stay tuned for more updates on how you can get involved. Together, we can bring a fresh perspective to the issues that matter most to our community.

Thank you for your continued support!
