I realized this morning that I will need to begin—immediately after this election—to lay the groundwork for an effective campaign against Mike Lee in 2028. I need to prepare as if I will be that candidate and I must be willing to be that candidate but my hope is that my preparations can be put to work in service of some other even more qualified candidate. I would run only if no other more qualified candidate arises.
In broad terms an effective campaign must look similar to what Evan McMullen ran in 2022 with the official support of a coalition of parties but we will need to start the preparations long before the 2028 campaign season begins (which will be at the end of 2026).
I told Laura about this task tonight. Hopefully as I start taking actions she will find ways to actively assist.
