Our country is at a breaking point. It has been subverted by the Elite Class of some 10,000 ultra-wealthy individuals who use their fortunes to control our government. They fund the campaigns and lobbyists that write the rules we live by, weaponize the media to sow chaos and division, and pit neighbor against neighbor. Their goal is to make us feel powerless.
They have succeeded by dividing us. For years, the Common Class—the 98% of Americans with net worths under $10 million—has been falsely and intentionally divided. We are encouraged to argue about our differences while the Elite Class loots our future, ignoring what unites us most: the economic and labor conditions we share. Their weapon is wealth inequality, and they use it to ensure the average American has no path to mobility.
But people are ready for change. We see the system for what it is. The problem is not a lack of opposition, but a lack of competent opposition. We need more than scattered movements; we need a unified front with a single, clear message and a common tactic: Disarm the Elite Class.
This movement will unite independents, democrats, and republicans who are tired of the status quo. We will reject identity politics in favor of class alignment, because the economic and labor conditions we share are more powerful than the manufactured issues used to divide us. We will win not by playing their game of money and influence, but by stripping the power of money from our elections and uniting behind a platform of real, pro-worker change.
The goal is clear: for the 2026 midterm elections, we will win 290+ seats in the House of Representatives and 33 seats in the Senate. These will not be professional politicians. They will be members of the Common Class, the people who build our infrastructure, care for our families, and run our local storefronts. People who are living real labor lives. They will run on a pre-approved legislative agenda developed transparently and shared publicly, with clear plans to fund it.
This is our path forward. This is how we give the American people something worth voting for.
Our strategy is built on four core ideas:
Our political system is fueled by money, both seen and unseen. To win, a candidate is forced to align with wealthy donors and corporate interests, sacrificing their integrity before they even take office. We will end this corrupt system.
The ClearCandidate platform is designed to make campaign money irrelevant.
A simple, centralized, and free platform where every candidate has an identical page to share their views. No ads and no fundraising, just uniform, word-counted spaces for a bio, a position statement, and responses to the top issues facing the country. All candidates, regardless of party, will be invited to participate.
We centralize our funding to promote the platform and its ideas, not individual candidates. This allows candidates to come from all walks of life, not just the wealthy few who can afford to run. Instead of wasting half their term fundraising, representatives can focus entirely on serving their constituents.
The platform creates a public record. When candidates update their stance on an issue, their previous positions are logged and remain visible. This ensures accountability. We want our leaders to grow, but we demand they do so transparently.
In the future, the principles of ClearCandidate will be codified into non-partisan law, ending the campaign finance machine for good and expanding to cover all local, state, and federal elections. We will also add features to track how elected officials vote, holding them accountable to the promises they made on the platform.
Some will say this is what journalism is for. But journalism has been corrupted by the same moneyed interests. Others will say we should rely on traditional debates and social media. But these are tools of the Elite Class, designed for soundbites and division, not clarity. If a candidate insists on traditional campaigning, we must seriously question why. The answer is simple: they benefit from a system that is exhausting, dependent on money, and detracts from meaningful work. We must reject it.
For decades, the two parties have failed the American people. Instead, they serve the corporate and elite interests that fund them. The time has come for a third option. The focus of this movement is to win a governing majority in Congress to enact meaningful, pro-worker change within our constitutional framework.
The values of this movement are unwavering and built on three pillars: restoring democratic integrity, lifting the Common Class, and investing in the future.
A common criticism will be that our candidates lack government experience. We see this as a defining strength. We are electing people free from the biases of the traditional rules of government. Our candidates will not be campaigning; they will be working together before the election to draft the legislation we need. With well above $300 million in collective staffing allowances, we will hire the nation's best experts upon inauguration to support our representatives, ensuring they are ready to govern from day one.
We are not running 300+ separate campaigns. We are running one single movement. The millions of dollars that would have been wasted on a broken system will instead be used to build the next chapter of our country. This is how we combat the ultra-wealthy—by uniting our resources and our resolve behind a common cause.
Community is the engine of this movement. It is how we, the people without immense wealth, build the power to defeat those who have it. The Elite Class wins by making you believe your neighbors and sometimes even your family are the enemy. They use algorithms and media to amplify fear and divert your attention from the real source of your struggle: their greed and the reality of wealth inequality.
We will fight their division with authentic, local connection.
Our community arm has two purposes: to spread the movement’s message and restore a sense of belonging. We will do this not through advertising, but through action.
Find something broken in your community and fix it. Help a neighbor with their yardwork. Volunteer your time. We are asking you to consistently show up in your community.
When your neighbors see your work, you will have their attention. That is when you can tell them what you represent. You can explain how fairer taxes could fund better schools for their children. You can talk about healthcare by linking it to the struggles of a real neighbor. You can tell them the truth: the Elite Class builds its fortune on the backs of the Common Class.
In our modern world, it is nearly impossible to hear the signal through the noise. The Elite Class has spent decades distorting history and confusing the public to protect their power. We must arm ourselves with a clear understanding of how our system was broken in the first place so we can explain to others why it must be fixed.
This pillar is about telling the whole story. We will lean on our crowdsourcing ability to collect the facts and present them in a way that connects with people from all walks of life. We will create materials that explain the downstream consequences of past legislation and connect it all to the consolidation of wealth and power in the hands of the few.
Today is 500 days until the 2026 midterm elections. The scale of this movement is immense, but we must ask ourselves: what do we have to lose? We are already losing our country as the Elite Class hollows out the democracy we worked to build.
We lose by sitting on the sidelines. We lose by waiting for a perfect solution or a perfect leader. The idea that we must discard anything flawed is a feature, not a bug, installed by the Elite Class to ensure nothing ever changes. We must shift from a model of throwing things away to a model of fixing them. Let's fix our country with the resources we have.
The Elite Class will not give up its power willingly. They will fight, they will lie, and they will dig in deeper to hold on to their power. This will be a long and difficult process, and the win must be earned.
Think about what we could achieve if we reset the balance. Think about a future where your children aren't burdened by debt, where your representatives serve you instead of corporations, and where you are no longer divided from your neighbors by manufactured hate.
Find your place in this movement. We need candidates, but we also need organizers, researchers, writers, and neighbors willing to have tough conversations. You belong in this movement. You are this movement.
