Public Life
Shortly after graduating college, in 2015 Tyler was encouraged to run for U.S House of Representatives, in CA District 35.
Tyler aligned with politics early in his college career, his primary focus was: jobs, aerospace, innovation, data security and data privacy.
Adhering to a worldview that champions ethics, he also cares about growth, free speech, freedom of religion, and individual liberty.
During those formative years, he was acutely aware of the challenges facing his generation, particularly the job market.
“I’m thankful for the opportunity to focus on new key issues, and new lifelong friendships”
When the opportunity arose to run for public office at the age of 25, Tyler felt a call to serve his community and country. It was too tantalizing an opportunity to turn down.
The 2015 election was a turning point in American politics, where data privacy and data security became key concerns.
Common Questions
-
“Absolutely, I would consider running for office again, but only if I had strong support from influential figures in business and technology. Simply having a large number of supporters or small donations isn’t sufficient; I believe that to truly make a difference, I need substantial backing from key sectors that are vital to our society’s functioning. Entering another race without this level of support would not align with my vision for meaningful change.”
-
“My greatest regret is not reaching out to key and influential figures earlier in my campaign. I also wish I had leaned more into the insights and suggestions from political experts. Instead, I relied too heavily on The Party's direction and, in hindsight, was a bit naïve about the importance of building donor relationships.”
-
"The greatest and most existential threat to American politics today is a lack of unifying vision—something that genuinely excites and aligns Americans in a common direction. We need a new 'man on the moon' moment, a goal that brings us together around a shared purpose. Additionally, I believe our leaders need to transform how they communicate with citizens. Too often, politicians talk down to people rather than fostering open, transparent dialogue. This might mean holding extended, uncut conversations lasting two to three hours, or even providing nightly briefings, similar to how Roosevelt and Reagan addressed the public as President, to keep Americans engaged and informed."
