A third-party centrist candidate like me could win the presidency

I hope you will consider my potential entry not just because I built a successful business, but also because of what I learned along the way: the importance of the dignity of work, the power of community, what’s possible when people come together for a shared purpose.

If I decide to run, it will be because of an abundance of Americans who share an optimistic vision for renewal, and who have come forward to bring it to fruition.

For now, let’s begin to imagine what we can do together. The choice in 2020 does not have to be between two parties, but about choosing country over partisanship.

To those who say an independent run would help ensure the re-election of Donald Trump, I say the two parties’ inability to come together to serve the people has created the opportunity for a centrist independent to be successful. To suggest that either party’s candidate could lose because of a third choice is intellectually dishonest. I am considering a run because members of both parties are not yet doing the job they were elected to do.
