"Never be afraid to stand with the minority when the minority is right, for the minority which is right will one day be the majority."
- William Jennings Bryan (on thinking)
Welcome
Thank you for stopping by!
My name is Andrew Hartford.
I am a 27-year-old American technology entrepreneur, lawyer, and aspiring statesman that ran for the United States Congress in 2018.
Plainly stated: for quite some time, I've been frustrated with the complete lack of vision, productivity, and new good ideas coming out of Washington.
Instead of following the same flawed course of action, I wish to bring a more advanced methodology/operating system into the public space-- something which I believe is necessary given 1) the scale, pace and complexity of the 21st century and 2) the massive backlog of interdependent problems.
While the campaign proper never really got out of the gate, I continue to work hard on developing a true action plan to Revitalize America.

There is so much that needs to be done, and we each only have so much time.
We need to act now for our Nation and our people to find the health, wealth and happiness we deserve in the 21st century.
It's time to start the process of Revitalizing America. Strongly believing such, I entered the public arena (sooner than expected) and began the process of answering a life long calling.

However, I won't be working alone in building this brighter future for America.
I have put together the open-source and non-partisan Problems Of Our Time competition-- the centerpiece of the RA program-- as a way to focus my own work plan for the next few years, but more so, to hopefully focus America's thinking resources at-large.
Such a great and open task requires a methodology commensurate, and I firmly believe this strategic action plan can be successful in providing the United States with a smarter & clearer direction, under a renewed purpose, for the next couple decades.

It’s time for the next wave of vibrant and innovative leaders that are genuinely up to the task of meeting our short, medium, and long-term challenges.
At the time I started the campaign, 0 of the 535 members of Congress were under 30. Plain and simple: my generation needs "seats at the table" and true representation.
In launching my campaign, I sought to be the fresh face American politics needed, with the new and useful ideas that it needed even more.
In the years that follow, I aim to earn your respect and make valuable contributions.
