Local teacher Von Hougo announced his candidacy for the U.S. Senate seat vacated by Barbara Boxer.
Hougo said his political campaign will not be funded by donations, as this “makes a politician beholden to donors”.
The Senate candidate’s platform revolves around bringing “the power back to the people” and “allowing each citizen’s voice to be heard”.
“California is the tech capital of the world,” Hougo wrote in a press release. “My intention is to harness that ingenuity and create a secure website that allows every registered voter, who is a US. citizen, to sign up for a voting portal.”
“Every issue going before the Senate will be outlined with the pros, cons, benefits, risks and cost analysis. Citizens can cast their vote and the results will be updated and displayed in real time. The majority vote of California is how I will vote on the floor of the Senate.”
Hougo said his focus is on allowing voters to choose their level of involvement when it comes to issues.
Hougo is running his campaign with the help of his 17-year-old son Drake Hougo who will be involved as the campaign’s social media director.
