People for Honest Politics is now accepting donations!
Use of funds in 2023
We will continue to push toward our goal of 5,000 signatures. We want people to realize they are not alone in their concern for our local government. Many people we have spoken to over the last month express sadness, frustration, embarrassment, and worry about the direction of our local politics. We will use donations to run ads online, on social media, and in print.
Use of funds in 2024 and beyond
We will support qualified local candidates with endorsements and ads in the 2024 election cycle. We have heard from potential candidates that they are hesitant to run because of the ugliness, the lies and slander, and the cost for running for local government. One candidate shared, "I have a family, I have a job, the Freedom Caucus will stop at nothing to try and defeat me. I don't have the time or the money to defend myself against lies."
This is the bigger picture, good candidates are not running because they don't want to be falsely attacked in the media. They do not want to subject their family to the ugliness that has become Campbell County politics. When did we become a community that allows good, hard-working people to be slandered because they are not "republican enough" or they don't believe in a specific religion? When did party become more important than doing what is right for our community, for our people?
So, we want to be clear. Our first goal is 5,000 signatures. Long term, we will support candidates at the local level in 2024. If you have questions about that long term goal, please feel free to email us at hello@peopleforhonestpolitics.com.
