Thanks for clicking to get involved.
We have hit our signature goal, and it looks almost certain I will be on the ballot this November. Now it's time for everyone that is frustrated with the status quo in Washington DC to help us spread the word about a new type of candidate that wants to really change politics in America. A true people's candidate and average guy that wants to represent average people across this district. These career politicians haven't been doing a good job representing the average among us and I'm here to change that. If you're frustrated by the last 20+ years in American politics, you've come to the right spot.
Best ways to help,
1. Email me and ask for 500 business cards. Hand them out to everyone you know or knock on doors to get my name out there. Keep in ming you CANNOT leave these in mailboxes. Wedged in a front door is perfectly legal and fine but not in a mailbox. Walk around town handing them out or stand on a busy street corner handing them out. All of these are great options.
2. Help me with social media, are you good at building social media posts? Could you help me post more content on a regular basis?
3. Get out of your political comfort zone. Nobody likes talking politics with friends or family but this might be the only way we can actually change the status quo. I'm asking that you text or call everyone in your phone and just say "Hey, I've never done anything like this before but I'm asking that you please visit derekforcongress.com and check this new type of candidate out. An Arlington small business owner is trying to change politics in America and he needs all the help he can get, Thank you"
4. Email political podcasters and local newspaper editors. If we can get only 100 people to send off 5 emails a day to the same podcasts and newspapers we can get me the publicity I need to reach tens or hundreds of thousands of voters without the big dollar campaign. (email me for a list of who to contact)
5. Can't help physically for whatever reason? Please consider donating to my campaign via the donation page link on this site.
