Campaign Kick-OFf

Hi, I’m Perry Pound, and I’m announcing my candidacy for the United States Senate. I am running because the Senate is blocking our national progress!  

If you like the way things are right now, then I’m not the candidate for you. But, if, like me and most Californians, you’re no longer willing to stand by and watch the America we love slip away, then I invite you to join our campaign.

For those of you who don’t know me, I’m married to a California-born educator, and we’ve raised our daughter here. I’ve dedicated my career to public service, from the government to the private sector, and as an entrepreneur. I’ve been entrusted to:

• Invest $3 Billion dollars into the California economy,
• And $150 Million in fees to local parks and schools.
• Building 5,000 homes and multiple solar power developments, and
• Creating 7,000 jobs…
• And now I want to work with you to BUILD A BETTER FUTURE.

Up and down the State, people tell me they are outraged and anxious.

1. We watch our stores get looted in broad daylight;
2. We console our kids, who learn active-shooter drills before they learn basic math;
3. We witness droughts, floods, extreme heat, and superstorms;
4. We worry about being able to afford a house or pay the rent;
5. We watch out of control homeless encampments cover our sidewalks;
6. We know we spend more than any nation on health care, while health care companies continue to raise our prices;
7. We’re concerned about the risk of World War III; and
8. We cannot understand the rapidly disintegrating fabric of our culture.

The Senate, where progress goes to die, is the cause of much of our dysfunction.

1. I will work to eliminate the Filibuster, which is used to block 98% of Senate votes.
   • This is the main problem with our government, in that 60 votes are required to end a Filibuster and pass a bill!


2. I will push for Senate term limits and pledge right now to limit my service to no more than two terms.
   • The Senate, with 30% of its members over the age of 70, rewards seniority and incentivizes gridlock; term limits will correct this.

‘It’s not the strongest that survive, but those most adaptive to change,’ and our Democracy must “adapt or die.”

We need a new generation of American leadership, not focused on moving to the Left or the Right, but on moving Forward to solve the myriad issues facing our country today.

With a more robust Senate and new ideas, we can end this national stagnation and move forward again!

This is a defining era, no less important than the American Revolution, the Civil War, or the Depression/World War II. Historians will call the next decade The Fourth American Revolution.

• “If not US, then who?"
• “If not NOW, then when?”

There is a clear CHOICE in this election:

1. As one voter told me, to ‘vote for the same old Schiff, somehow expecting different results,’ OR
2. To elect dynamic new leaders, focused on solutions.

We are a state of innovators and a nation of doers! Let’s roll up our sleeves and do the work of saving our Democracy in its Moment of Darkness so that one day we can all look back and know:

• We met the moment, and
• We BUILT THE BETTER WORLD our children deserve!
