Alexander Valiensi Kent, MSW (I-WI3)

I’m a voter directed Independent candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives from Wisconsin’s 3rd District for the November 3rd 2026 U.S. Midterm Elections.

I am a social worker, father, husband, and the author of Voter Directed Democracy and the founder of Voter Directed Network.

We believe that is time to evolve politically as a country and collectively choose an online political system of true and full political freedom, real self-governance, and transparent popular sovereignty on all issues. It is time to actually follow the U.S. Constitution and see what will happen when the real Will of the People is relentlessly sourced and implemented and voters’ collective wisdom, knowledge, and compassion are truly respected and fully empowered to create all of our social, political, and economic systems.

We are running a Voter Empowerment campaign and believe in:

“One voter, one vote on all issues.”

We support honest and transparent, modern and evolved, accountable and peaceful, online and independent democratic republicanism where all voters Yes/No vote on all issues, legislative bills, and executive orders and the democratic republic follows this clear, precise, and objectively determined Will of the People.

An Independent voter directed/voter controlled democratic republic is 100% consistent with the U.S. Constitution. The U.S. Constitution does not include political parties because they always fall to corruption. Party controlled government is an authoritarian divide and conquer political system and a corruption of the values, principles, and ideology of democracy and republicanism within the U.S. Constitution. All political parties function to centralize and consolidate political power away from voters. Thus all political parties are authoritarian political structures. Both political parties in the U.S. are beholden to and serve the will of the authoritarians who fund and control both parties. Party politics is designed to create an Illusion of Choice and control voters. In contrast to party politics, representing voters in a real democracy via a constitutional republic has always required the same thing. What does real political representation actually look like? Asking voters. Ask voters on everything, they will tell you what they need and then the republic does it. It is truly that simple. A republic must relentlessly- 24/7/365- openly and transparently source and then implement the real Will of the People. The peaceful political evolution of “one voter, one vote on all issues” solves all of the problems related to the functioning of democracy and our republic. It puts real Yes/No political power where it should always be in a republic- equally distributed in the hands of all votes on all issues.

We are also running an Anti-Corruption campaign and believe that:

“All political donations are political corruption.”

All political donations come with an expectation of elected official action. Even a small $5 donation comes with an expectation and thus is a form of mild political corruption.

We are trying to get as much money out of elections and political decision making as possible. To this end, we are NEVER taking anyone’s money EVER- no donors, no lobbyists, no Super PACs, and no political parties interfering with our voter directed political process. We are just trying to represent voters in this honest, transparent, modern, and evolved way. We are proving that you can and should ask voters Yes/No on every issue using the internet and that you can run a federal election campaign without the corrupting influence of money.

Ideas should win elections, not who spent the most money.

To be clear, if you use over $5k to get elected you didn’t win anything. You paid for the win and bought the election. Party politics has always been a money game that was created to serve the will of authoritarians, destroy the republic, and ignore the Will of the People. Real political representation and full political freedom in any democratic republic can only ever exist by asking voters directly on all issues.

For any election, decision, or issue in any democratic republic at any level of government, the best ideas should always win- not what platform/party/candidate/industry/ corporation/institution spent the most money on ads and propaganda. In a republic, having more money should never give you more political power.

Lastly, we are also running a Servant Leadership campaign because:

“A servant-leader focuses primarily on the growth and well-being of people and the communities to which they belong. While traditional leadership generally involves the accumulation and exercise of power by one at the “top of the pyramid,” servant leadership is different. The servant-leader shares power, puts the needs of others first and helps people develop and perform as highly as possible.”- Greenleaf.org

Writing the Voter Directed Democracy political theory was partially inspired by the essay The Servant as Leader by Robert K. Greenleaf, which was first published in 1970. This essay is what started the Servant Leadership movement, which, in short, is “a non-traditional leadership philosophy, embedded in a set of behaviors and practices that place the primary emphasis on the well-being of those being served” (Greenleaf.org). I have been studying Servant Leadership extensively since I attended Viterbo University here in La Crosse, which offers Servant Leadership classes, certificates, and a graduate degree. I personally support this leadership philosophy and have seen the incredible impact this philosophy can have on a community as many organizations and businesses around my city of La Crosse, Wisconsin have implemented this leadership model with remarkable success. Similar to the political philosophy of Voter Directed Democracy, the leadership philosophy of Servant Leadership is grounded in values of honesty, transparency, compassion, and relentless listening. I would encourage any leader, executive, administrator, or official in any for-profit, non-profit, or public service government structure to choose Servant Leadership as their leadership philosophy. I believe the Servant Leadership philosophy can work hand-in-hand with the political philosophy of Voter Directed Democracy; however, I do not believe that openly supporting or embracing Servant Leadership should be a prerequisite for a Voter Directed Elect Official or candidate. Each Voter Directed Elected Official or candidate and voter should form their own opinion about the Servant Leadership philosophy. Nevertheless, I was deeply inspired by this leadership philosophy when I began to write and develop the Voter Directed Democracy political philosophy.

As voter directed candidates we also believe in standing against Negative Identity Politics.
