Quietly Preparing to Serve. Loudly Ready to Lead.
This Independence Day, while others celebrate with fireworks and grilled meat, I’m celebrating by preparing for the day I make the government very uncomfortable.
I’m currently 16, so don’t get too excited yet, I’m not on any ballots. But give me 19 years, and I’ll be eligible to run for President. By then, I’ll have had plenty of time to perfect my campaign strategy, which will definitely involve fewer PACs and more honestly awkward handshakes.
No fake smiles. No kissing babies unless they promise to vote (or at least look interested).
Why 2044?
Born December 2, 2008, I’ll officially be old enough to run in the 2044 election. That’s a long way off, sure, but hey—good things take time. Like fine wine, or assembling IKEA furniture without crying.
What’s Different About This Campaign?
I won’t be another politician doing the usual dance. Expect:
Honesty to a fault
Campaign promises that won’t vanish faster than your leftover fireworks
Leadership that’s less about optics and more about actual stuff getting done
How You Can Help
This isn’t just a joke (mostly). If you like the idea of a leader who’s serious about shaking things up without selling out, you’re already on the team.

The Campaign goals
Zero BS Transparency - Every budget, every deal, every weird lunch with lobbyists shall be on the record, no smoke, no mirrors. I’m here to inform, not confuse.
No More Empty Words - Promise only what I can deliver. If it’s not in the plan, it’s not a promise. No spin, just straight talk.
Tech-Savvy Governance - Use data, AI (not chatbots), and actual innovation to fix problems instead of just tweeting about them.
Accountability or Bust - If a government official screws up, I’ll make sure they’re held responsible. No more endless cover-ups or finger-pointing.
Citizen-Powered Policy - Real public input, not those meaningless surveys. You want a say? You get a platform.
Climate Reality Check - No vague green talk. Real, enforceable steps to get us off the carbon cliff.
Cut the Corporate Crap - Reduce influence of big money. Campaigns funded by people, not PACs or shadowy donors.
Education That Prepares You for Life - Overhaul schools to teach real skills, critical thinking, and how to deal with the future because ‘winging it’ doesn’t cut it.
Healthcare for Humans - Systems that work for people, not profit margins. Period.
Justice That Works - Reform the legal system so fairness isn’t just a slogan.
No More Spin Doctors - Communications will be honest, direct, and maybe a little snarky, because politics doesn’t have to be boring. (hopefully they are though.)
Final Thought
While you’re enjoying your hot dogs and fireworks, know that I’m quietly plotting a very long game. Spoiler alert: it involves a lot of coffee, maybe some late-night policy reading, and a dash of ego.
