It is time for the truth.
Trump's endorsement of my congressional opponent at the Prescott Valley rally was quite disappointing for many people; Trump was BOOED by the crowd loudly for endorsing my opponent.
When Trump announced his candidacy in 2015, I began getting the word out for him online, and the website I ran was one of the top sites to bring traffic to Trump's campaign site during his primary and general elections. When Trump won the presidency, Q started posting on the site I ran, and I kept my mouth shut about all of that. For many years, I was attacked left, right, and center over allegations that I was Q while I literally had nothing to do with the project besides being the admin of the site that Q posted on.
During the 2020 election, I fought day and night against the steal to help save the integrity of the vote and prove that Trump won the election. We all know he won, and that's why we must have many poll watchers and ballot box sentries this time around while staying vigilant about protecting our rights. I was not paid for any work I did to fight the steal. As anybody should do, I was fighting for my country and President.
It is no surprise to me that Trump did not endorse me. Last October, I asked a prominent person close to Trump about what it would take to get the President's endorsement. The person I asked told me that I needed to put a million dollars of my own money into the campaign, hire a specific person into my campaign for $10,000 a month, give that person a win bonus, and then the endorsement would probably come. I declined the offer.
Sadly I have learned that politics is all about big donors, PACs, and lobbyists. I have taken no lobbyist money, have very scant big donor money, and as far as I know, there are no pacs putting money in to help my campaign. The biggest donors to my campaign were from a certain great doctor's family (someone you all know), a few of my family friends, and an awesome guy who makes cell phone cases. The majority of the contributions to my campaign were small donations directly from the people. I had to consistently ask for donations on social media in order to fundraise for the campaign. When my opponents put up fundraising numbers showing millions of dollars raised without having any significant online presence, you really start to wonder where exactly that money is coming from… it certainly didn't come from you and in all likelihood they won't be representing you or your values.
Thank you everybody who contributed and donated time, effort, and heart into this campaign. I may or may not win, the voters in AZCD2 will decide that on August 2, but I certainly did the best I could with the resources that I had available to me.
God bless.
