In the rapidly shifting landscape of 2023, we find ourselves far from losing our livelihoods to the monotonous drone of chatbots. Neither are we succumbing to the full immersion of Mark Zuckerberg's metaverse dreams. Surprisingly, though Facebook remains resilient against the imminent doom predicted...
Most campaigns blindly throw darts at the wall hoping something will stick. 🎯
When it comes to contacting voters, think about it like a memorable party...
Persistence is vital for voter acquisition. Voters need to be reminded. 👋
But, the key to optimal voter acquisition is timing and balance. 🕚
Too much signal turns into noise. Bad timing turns leads to wasted resources. 🗣️
So, where is the line? Here's insight. 👇
You're plotting an unforgettable shindig for a close comrade - a bash they'll remember for a lifetime. Where do you start? Likely, you jot down an invitee list.

Do Republicans actually want to win? 🤔
..it seems like the party is too busy with in-fighting. 📣
Meanwhile, the opposition remains cohesive. 🗳️
This is why we lose.
It's time to ditch the witch-hunt mentality. 🗣️
Tracking down RINOs is a fast-track to losing votes. 📉
The average American wants observable change, not internet wins. 🇺🇸
If there's one question Pennsylvania's Republican leaders need to confront head-on, it's this: do we actually want to win? We should ruminate on this question before each board meeting, prior to every speech, and certainly ahead of firing off our next tweet.
That moment when you finally figured it out.
Stay tuned!
Conservatives are quick to ban-hammer novelty. 🔨
But like all new technologies, AI should be seen as a tool that can be harnessed. 🤖
Many in the political space are already using the latest AI technologies. 🇺🇸
We can either make the most of our freedom, or stay behind the curve. 📉 👇
As we stand on the brink of the future, we see a revolution quietly underway — the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into every facet of our society, including the political arena. It's essential that we not only acknowledge the transformation at hand, but also actively participate in sh...
If you're in the political space, you've likely thought about running for office. 🤔
But politics is complicated. There's tons of nuance about the whole process... let alone running a successful campaign. 🇺🇸
What are some tenets a candidate NEEDS to understand? What are some action items you can do NOW? 📝
Constituent Connect addresses these questions in a quick, 2 minute read. ⏲️
It's never been too late to get involved.
Listen up, you ambitious young conservatives eager to jump into the world of political campaigns! Sure, your questions might hover around the "politics" of it all. Do I need to have a political science degree under my belt? Which local elections should I keep tabs on?
📣 Political Marketers! It's time to revolutionize your campaign strategy! 📣
I address the future of political advertising in my latest article: "In the Vortex of Modern Advertising: A Conservative Perspective on Dynamic Creative in the Political Sphere." It explores the potential implications of dynamic creative—an innovative approach that's currently dominating the world of OTT and CTV advertising—and how it might transform political messaging as we know it. 📺💥
Remember the Super Bowl 2022 dynamic ad that garnered a jaw-dropping 20 million hits? Now imagine that level of engagement in the political sphere! But, as Jones details, the shift isn't so straightforward. Despite the allure of ACR data and tailored CTAs, political marketers appear hesitant to adopt this new-age tool, prioritizing long-term influence over quick conversions. 🤔🔄
However, the potential of dynamic creative, especially in a presidential year, could prove too enticing to ignore. Could this be the game-changer in the high-stakes world of political advertising? 🏛️📈
Read this eye-opening article to see why keeping a keen eye on this trend might just be the winning strategy your campaign needs! Let's step into the future of advertising, together! 🚀🌐

📝New article alert: "The Overreach of AB 957: When Good Intentions Erode Parental Rights"
Navigating the balance between legislation and individual liberties can be challenging. One misstep can lead to drastic repercussions. A prime example is the recently amended California bill, AB 957.
In an attempt to promote child welfare, this bill ventures dangerously close to undermining the essence of parental rights and responsibilities. It emphasizes the affirmation of a child’s gender identity as a crucial aspect of their health, safety, and welfare. Yet, it doesn't provide clear guidelines for crucial factors like the child's age or the duration of their identification as transgender.
Supporting our children is one of our foremost responsibilities as parents, but does this bill go too far by equating non-affirmation with child abuse? Where do we draw the line between support and forced affirmation?
I encourage you to join the conversation as I delve deeper into these crucial questions in my latest article. Let's explore together the need for a balanced, nuanced approach that respects both the rights of children to express their gender identity and the rights and responsibilities of parents.
Read, comment, and share if you too feel this conversation is important for our future. Let’s make our voices heard.
As we have often seen, navigating the intricate dance between legislation and individual liberties can be like attempting to cross a minefield. Miss a step, and the consequences can be explosive. Case in point: California’s recently amended bill, AB 957, which in its ostensible quest to promote ch...
📚🗂️ As I dive deeper into the unfolding saga around the recent indictment of former President Donald Trump, it strikes me that there's more to this story than meets the eye. Charges related to handling classified materials may look clear-cut on the surface, but given the current political climate and the timing of the indictment, I can't help but ask some deeper questions.
Why is this happening just as Trump announced his potential return to the political arena? Why is there such a focus on these boxes of records when there are critical issues - pandemic, economy, education - that deserve our undivided attention? Shouldn't the spotlight be on those boxes of issues that need immediate solutions?
In this latest piece, I delve into these questions, trying to separate fact from speculation and genuine accountability from potential political maneuvering. As we continue to witness the spectacle and wait for the investigation's findings, it's crucial to remember the importance of justice and fair play in our democratic society.
Remember the old saying, "One man's trash is another man's treasure?" Well, sometimes it feels like "One man's classified documents are another man's politically-motivated indictment." Or at least, that's the feeling I get when I ponder the recent indictment of former President Donald Trump on charg...
