Voter guide

Background, stated goals, record, and money

Goals come from the campaign's own platform. Record lines are official actions.

How this guide is built

Background comes from official records, and from the campaign's own biography where the bullet says so; goals are summarized from the campaign's own platform and stay attributed; the record lines are official actions with the government source attached; money is shown as filed, with the filings it covers in the note under the table, and is not evidence of why any position was taken.

Alexander Valiensi Kent

Background

  • Holds no public office. His candidate page describes him as a social worker with a master's degree, and the author of a book called Voter Directed Democracy.
  • He founded the Voter Directed Network, which is both the organisation behind his candidacy and the mechanism his platform proposes.

What they say they want to do

  • Full voter empowerment: online, issue-by-issue voting by verified voters, on the principle of one voter, one vote, on all issues.
  • Ending political corruption rather than reducing it, through a system with “no donors, no lobbyists, no Super PACs, and no political parties”.
  • Servant leadership, which he defines as a commitment to help the people served become freer, wiser, healthier and more capable than before.

What the official record shows

He has never held public office, so there is no official record of votes, bills or decisions to list. What he offers instead is a platform, which is above, and a book. His campaign makes no claim about a record of his own for this column to test.

Campaign money from other committees, by type

There is no money table because there is no money report. His principal campaign committee has filed two things with the Federal Election Commission: a statement of organization in April 2026 and, in July, a Form 99 stating the campaign had not reached $5,000 raised or spent. It has never filed a report of receipts and disbursements, which is consistent with the no-donor campaign he says he is running.

Words and record

What they say, and what the record shows

Each card gets one label from a fixed list and states its own limit.

What the record shows · Jul 8, 2026

His only FEC filings are a registration and a July 2026 statement repeating the pledge and saying he had not reached $5,000; he has filed no money report.

His platform calls for ending political corruption rather than reducing it, through a system with no donors, no lobbyists, no Super PACs and no political parties, and he runs his own campaign on that basis.

“no donors, no lobbyists, no Super PACs, and no political parties”

What the record shows · Jul 8, 2026

His principal campaign committee holds two filings of any kind with the Federal Election Commission: a Form 1 statement of organization dated April 24, 2026, and a Form 99 dated July 8, 2026. That Form 99 is not a blank submission. It repeats the pledge to take no donor, lobbyist, Super PAC or party money, states that the campaign had not reached $5,000 raised or spent, and files that statement in place of a July quarterly report. No report of receipts and disbursements has ever been filed.

Limit: His own filed statement is stronger evidence than silence, and it is still not a reported zero: below five thousand dollars is not nothing, and the statement speaks only to July 8. What the record shows is his testimony and the absence of a financial report, not an audited figure.
