Why we built HUSH.
It started with one question.
In 2024, my wife told me she wasn’t going to vote. It wasn’t that she didn’t care. Every time she tried to follow along, it was just people shouting at each other. When I told her it mattered, she didn’t argue. She just asked who she was supposed to trust.
I didn’t have an answer, so I went looking for one. I figured it would take twenty minutes. I read the candidates’ sites, read the ballot measures twice, and came up empty on the judges. It took most of a day, and I still couldn’t give her a straight answer on every race.
She was right to ask. Every voter deserves clear, sourced information about the people and issues on their ballot, and nobody should need a whole day to find it.
The goal was never to make her agree with me. It was to let her walk in knowing exactly who was on her ballot, and what each of them had actually done. That’s why I built HUSH. I want future generations to have a straight answer when it’s their turn, and a more informed democracy for all of us.

Political information is everywhere.
Campaign sites, government records, news outlets, and social media all tell different versions of the same story. It’s hard to know what’s real, what matters, and where to find it.
So we built HUSH.
A simple, modern way to bring the most relevant information together in one place, with direct quotes and real sources, so you can make your own decision.
“I didn’t want to tell my wife who to vote for, I just wanted to help her exercise her right to vote. That’s why I started HUSH. I want everyone in the United States of America to have the same opportunity to have unbiased information when going into the voting booth.”
