As a 1st amendment auditor, I have dedicated myself to documenting the voting process as a journalist in Trumbull County. Over the past 2 years, the local Board of Education has called the police on me more than ten times while I was simply exercising my rights and following the rules. Despite my efforts to remain respectful and transparent, I have been trespassed twice and threatened with arrest on multiple occasions. Each encounter has required me to argue with law enforcement just to protect my right to observe and report on the process.

There have been many concerns about election integrity from people on all sides of the political spectrum. My goal has always been to shine a light on the process and ensure accountability, not for personal gain—I have not earned a cent from YouTube or any other platform for this work. Unfortunately, the Board of Education has repeatedly ignored their own policies and my constitutional rights, making it clear that they do not welcome public oversight.

Now, I am seeking help to cover the legal fees necessary to hold them accountable. The funds raised will go toward federal court filing and administrative fees, and if enough is donated, will allow me to hire a proper lawyer to pursue justice. Your support will help me stand up for our rights and ensure transparency in our community. Any help you can provide is deeply appreciated.
