Career politiciansare the problem.The answer is Us.
Us is the political organization California deserves. Decisions made by voters, not insiders. A politics of service, not spam texts.
After 10 years in elected office, I will never run again.
We are done with the gerontocracy, the spam, and the failure.
Career politicians keep putting themselves first. We are putting voters in charge.
Serving your priorities
Us doesn't just show up every two years. We provide members with the tools and power they need to make progress in their communities year-round. Career politicians only reach out when they need something. Us is different.
Electing true public servants
We support candidates who pledge to step aside after 10 years in elected office. No more politicians-for-life, who can avoid returning to the world they made. Just people who will use their time in office to make a real difference.
Putting Californians in charge
Other political organizations are needlessly complicated, with layers of committees and processes seemingly designed to keep power in the hands of a few insiders. Us is simple. If you are a member, you have a vote.
Respecting our members
We are disgusted by our own side's willingness to spam us, sell our data, and exploit our elderly relatives and neighbors. We never spam, never manufacture urgency, and never share your data, even with the politicians we support.
A politics that serves voters, not politicians.
A party's voters are its customers. Today's political establishment is anti-customer: they engage on their schedule (fundraising deadlines), about their agenda (raising money). Us gives members tools to come together and make progress on their priorities, every day.

“In free governments the rulers are the servants, and the people their superiors and sovereigns. For the former therefore to return among the latter was not to degrade but to promote them.”Benjamin Franklin · Constitutional Convention, July 26, 1787
