About Devon 2016
During a lesson on presidential elections my fifth grade school teacher invited our class to campaign to be president at some
point in our lives in order to learn more about our political process. He explained that out of civic duty people all throughout America run
hobbyist presidential campaigns every four years. In 2016 I campaigned to be President of the United States. I would have to disagree with my
teacher and strongly caution you to not campaign to be president. Having said that, I did learn a lot during my campaign. One of the
most important points I wanted to highlight to voters and politicians is that truly rational democratic elections
where voters choose the candidates who will best represent them are contingent upon easily accessible and comprehensive information about a
candidate's views and policy plans once in office. Some people say it takes a lot of financial resources to get your message to the American People.
In my opinion the internet changed all that. In 2016, I shared my campaign book, articles on important issues, policy plans and even held an online town hall
through my campaign website. The website cost $20 a month. Honestly my campaign had a pretty limited impact, but all the same I decided to clean up
my old website and share it here. Hopefully some aspiring politician will see this website, and it will give them some useful ideas on how to get their
viewpoints and detailed plans in front of the American People without significant cost.
Please note that I have no present or future interest in campaigning for elected office, working in politics or seeking government employment.
Thanks for visiting this site.
Over the past two decades America's future has grown less certain. The incomes of everyday Americans are shrinking and our standard of
living and quality of life are in decline. As America's middle class has grown weaker; our economy, government, justice system, businesses and news media
have weakened as well. While we may face uncertainty, uncertainty will always be defeated by building on the fundamentals that consistently lead
to sustainable growth and a sustainable nation.
