 FAQs

Running for Congress Without Social Media

  • Social media has shifted political debate toward viral outrage, division, and distraction. I believe democracy works best through face-to-face conversations, meaningful dialogue, and trust—not algorithms.

  • Social media is one tool, but not the only one. In fact, many of us are tired of toxic online discourse and miss real, human engagement. My campaign uses District Dialogues, email, direct mail (including handwritten postcards), phone calls, community events, local media (newspapers, radio, TV), and digital tools like YouTube, podcasts, and zoom town halls to connect with voters across the district.

  • Not at all! Especially in New Hampshire, politics is still personal. We prioritize meeting people in real life across the District at libraries, Old Home Days, picnics, town halls, community, small business, and nonprofit gatherings, and one-on-one over coffee. We also use TV, radio, podcasts, and YouTube to reach people seeking longer, more thoughtful conversations—not just 15-second clips.

  • No. Technology is powerful for organizing, education, and connection. We use email, video, podcasts, and more. But I’m concerned about how social media platforms and their algorithms shape politics: amplifying misinformation and outrage, while making good-faith dialogue harder. We simply choose not to participate in platforms designed primarily to maximize outrage rather than understanding. Remember, these platforms are owned by right-wing billionaires who have monopolized our attention, monetized our division and fear, surveil us, and use that data and money to support Donald Trump and the Republican agenda.

  • Not at all! Younger voters are savvy about digital spaces and care about authenticity. We connect with younger (and all) voters through campus events, podcasts, YouTube, digital newsletters, and making it easy to engage directly with our campaign—online or in person. Many young voters appreciate candidates who break from the norm and are willing to stand for something real.

  • Not at all. This approach is grounded in years of serving in local government and organizing, where Iʼve found real change comes from listening and building genuine relationships. I’m not running against technology—I’m running for a better, more human/e kind of politics.

  • I want to hear from you! We’re trying something bold, and I recognize itʼs a risk and not something everyone supports. That’s ok, we donʼt have to agree on everything. We still want to hear from you. Reach out, join a conversation, or invite me to your next community meeting—we’re here!

  • Yes, absolutely! While our campaign doesn’t use Twitter/X, TikTok, or Instagram/Facebook, we encourage supporters to share our message, events, and ideas wherever they are. Word of mouth, particularly personal testimonies, both online and offline, is powerful.

  • We use email, postcards, phone calls, door-knocking, in-person events, traditional media, podcasts, and YouTube. Our campaign is committed to accessibility, transparency, and genuine dialogue—without relying on platforms that too often do more to distract and divide us than bring us together.
