#introduction

(**NOTE**: See thread parent for the reason that this may not ultimately happen.)

Hello #Fediverse! I'm Jason (he/they) / @north@fosstodon.org and I'm preparing my potential candidacy to take the #GA14 seat currently being held hostage by QMAGA terrorist and Internet troll Marjorie Taylor Greene. Marjorie and her ilk have no business representing anybody and need to be removed at all costs.

I'm doing this primarily because the safety of my family quite literally depends on it. I'm otherwise just some software developer from the Oregon Trail generation with a sense of empathy, compassion, and a deep understanding that people should be accepted and allowed to be who they are, regardless of their sexuality, gender identity, ethnicity, mental health, education, economic status, fur-affinity (:eyes:), or religious beliefs. It's also just the right thing to do.

I'm a #Fedizen and I recognize how irritating it can be, so I'm not here to ask for anything and won't be soliciting donations here, now or in the future. I'd be thrilled just to receive advice, constructive feedback, and questions from anybody willing to provide them.

I always have DMs open on every platform and my personal email address is freely available (although info@gadeservesbetter.com or press@gadeservesbetter.com would be generally preferred); please feel free to reach out. My intention is to personally read every message and respond to any good faith comments or questions, particularly in early stages while that's still manageable.
