You probably didn't wake up this morning thinking, I wonder who's running for the Senate in Missouri. But one of the Senate candidates there is launching a campaign with the kind of message that I think we need in so many places and spaces in this country.

here. So, let's talk about your, your candi candidacy, independent candidacy. Uh They're in the state of Missouri. Uh clearly centered on a message of, hey, we are not that different. Uh There's a lot of the incentives that are all backwards and wrong when it comes to our politics. Uh Give us a sense of how is this resonating you launched yesterday. So you're 24 hours into the campaign. Uh Give us some of the response there in the state.

Yeah. So I officially launched yesterday, but I've been talking about people about this for months. Obviously, there's a lot that goes into putting a Senate campaign together and, you know, it's fun every time I talk to somebody about this, I immediately get a nodding head. And so people understand the message. People are just so tired of the ugliness and the dysfunction.

And I think I know I'm preaching to the choir here, but I think people are longing for some leaders to step up and demonstrate a better way. And so

for. But when they experience it, it's, it's sort of like oxygen. And so tell us how that is going to shape the race, uh which will be a very fascinating race there. Of course, sitting Senator Josh Hawley. Uh, not sure who's on the other side of the aisle there from the Democratic side. But what does that look like? What is that race shaping up to, to be?

So, obviously, with an incumbent Republican in a red leaning state, it'll be a challenge. Um, but Josh Hawley in a lot of ways represents exactly what I'm fighting against. Not necessarily on the policy front, but just on his approach to politics. Um he's definitely a grenade thrower. I mean, he's an incredibly intelligent person, very articulate. There are a lot of things I admire about him.

Uh And I won't be afraid to point those things out. That's something that's gonna be different about our campaign back to my launch event last night. I, I went out of my way to actually compliment my likely opponents rather than tear them down. So that's part of the way we're just trying to demonstrate, hey, there's a better way to do this. But um yeah, Senator Hawley has a very strong backing among about a third of Missouri that are kind of your hard core, um kind of Trump supporters, sort of Missouri. And then there's another third of Missouri who are

uh pretty strong, kind of left leaning folks or really more a quarter of Missouri and then those folks in the middle that I'm going after and that, that I need to get behind me to be able to succeed.

Yeah, fascinating stuff. Uh And your uh your background is interesting as well. Uh Graduated from Harvard law School. Uh You're 37 you got a great family, a great family story. You're involved in the community there. And we've been talking a lot about that today in terms of the, the way to really break the polarization is to just get back to

unity. Uh Because when you're coaching Little League or you're helping with a fundraiser at the local grade school, nobody's asking who you voted for in the last presidential election. It's all about helping the community. Uh So give us a little sense of, of your story. Uh And how, how that will play into the way you would govern in the Senate.

Yeah. So it's interesting. I uh I'm 37 years old, but I've packed a lot into those 37 years. Uh I've lived abroad twice, lived in Sweden for a couple of years and lived in the Middle East. And then, uh after my time in Boston for law school, I went to DC and was a lawyer, but we didn't, uh we didn't gel so well in DC, just the big city life wasn't for us. So we fled here to

rural Missouri and uh and I started running a business out here. And so I have a pretty diverse background in terms of the different places I've lived and the experiences I've had while I've been here uh took a lot of different church leadership roles, but also served on the board of our local boys and girls club. Uh And yes, I've been involved a lot in my kids' sports. So um been very involved in the community, I think,

you know, you talk about going to Harvard law School. I was one of relatively few conservatives in my Harvard law school classes. So that was a pretty defining experience for me to be able to see. There are a lot of people that see the world differently than I do that are still really smart, really great people. Uh And so I just have a lot of experience engaging with people that think differently for me and have a lot of respect for those people. And I think that's gonna serve me well, as I

I think what they're going to be surprised about is that there are so many people that are motivated and excited about this message. I think we've been so trained to think that there are only two options. I think so. I think they're going to be delighted to see that there's someone with some real experience that's a legitimate contender with resources that's offering them kind of a bona fide third option.
