Meet Jacob Kristopher Anders
Author. Historian. Researcher. Father.
Jacob Kristopher Anders is not a career politician. He found his inspiration in great leaders like Abraham Lincoln, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Teddy Roosevelt, and George Washington. He is a proven public servant and professional problem solver. He was elected as a Marion County Delegate for Bernie Sanders, then as a commissioner, where he delivered results for his community with common-sense governance. He has served for various political campaigns such as Bernie Sanders, Doug Jones, Michelle Lujan Grisham, Andrew Yang, and Marianne Williamson. Anders has spent decades mastering the art of building coalitions, crafting winning strategies, and translating bold ideas into real policy victories.
Now Jacob brings that same record of integrity and results to the national stage. As a digital ethics researcher, he has spent years analyzing broken systems (economic, technological, and governmental) and designing practical solutions that put people first.
Jacob’s platform is rooted in the belief that government must prioritize human dignity, economic security, and truth over corporate power and secrecy. He is a leading advocate for the Freedom Dividend, a $1,000 per month Negative Income Tax that provides a secure economic floor for every American family. Fully funded by redirecting waste from the $800+ billion Pentagon budget, this policy will protect working people through the AI-driven transition and ensure no one is left behind.
Through his groundbreaking “Fresh Start Protocol,” Jacob has pioneered the “Right to be Forgotten” in the digital age, shielding individuals from the recursive biases of AI and outdated data systems. In a world of rapid automation, he insists our laws must protect humans first instead of algorithms.
Jacob’s commitment to healthcare as a human right is deeply personal. A survivor of both an assassination and a drunk-driver, he knows firsthand that no family should face financial ruin because of one medical emergency. He fights for universal, affordable healthcare that treats health as a fundamental American right.
Jacob is equally committed to restoring trust in government through radical transparency. He demands full disclosure of all files related to Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP), whistleblower protections, and the unredacted release of the Epstein files, because Americans deserve the truth, not endless “black budget” secrecy.
A devoted husband and father, Jacob lives in Tullahoma, Tennessee, with his wife and two young children. Whether managing his property, studying history, or talking with neighbors across Middle Tennessee, he remains grounded in the everyday realities facing working families.
Jacob is not running for a lifetime in Washington. He is running to deliver a decisive System Update for America: a Humanity First agenda that fixes the glitches in our economy, protects our future from unchecked technology and endless war, and leaves the country stronger for his children and yours.
