So Who Wrote the MAD Act?
Meet Congressional Candidate Jamie Joyce: District 12, CA
Within 20 minutes of Jamie announcing she was going to run for office, a local politician called and said “if you don’t drop out, they’re going to ruin your life.” She kept getting calls - and threats.
But that just made Jamie double-down. She’s tired of gangster politics. She is tired of people who care more about power than they do about people - no matter how much they pretend otherwise. She’s tired of politicians making promises, but having no plan.
So she spent almost 300 hours developing a plan: The MAD Act.
Everything that is easy to agree on: clean food, a healthy environment, effective education and healthcare for all is out of reach because of gangster politics. Our congress is too busy trying to keep their jobs to stop the criminal elite from taking everything else. So Jamie wrote the MAD Act to give the people more power.
But who is Jamie?
Jamie has spent the last 7+ years building technology to bring democracy into the 21st Century. Before then, she had a career across several nonprofits, including overseeing humanitarian/environmental projects in over 20 countries. She has pioneered a method called “scaled democratic reasoning” which she has taught to students at dozens of Universities. She has been awarded fellowships in the fields of collective intelligence and reasoning, and has overall dedicated her adult life towards ensuring democracy will survive the 21st century - before then, she was almost expelled from high school for “inciting rebellious activities.”
Jamie is product of when a passionate humanitarian becomes an autodidactic technologist, leading AI teams to produce tools to defend democracy. If elected, she will bring her background in logic, AI, epistemology, and American history to fight as hard in Congress as she has been outside of it. But she isn’t waiting to elected to start fighting, her campaign is about passing the MAD Act.
This is not Jamie’s first time writing legislation, but Jamie welcomes constitutional lawyers, activists, and others to read and improve upon the bill.
