Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

Michael Sisco is a Veteran and former Infantryman of the Maryland and Florida National Guard. Before entering politics, Michael worked in a number of different fields, including truck driving and food service.

Michael became an Orthodox Christian in 2014, and entered the political arena in 2018 as political commentator.

In 2019 he would become a volunteer Team Leader for Trump Victory, and eventually worked on several different campaigns.

Arguably his most impressive work was his management of Lauren Witzke’s campaign for U.S. Senate in Delaware, having received more votes than any Republican in the history of the State of Delaware, even more than Donald Trump received in 2016.

Michael still hosts his weekly livestream and podcast, The Michael Sisco Show.

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

• I support domestic and foreign policy measures that put the interest of American Citizens First.
• The Republican Party should re-assert its commitment to traditional Christian Family values.
• Christ Is King!

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

I'm passionate about policies that help in maintaining and to a large extent restoring a society based upon traditional Christian values. Key policies that assist toward that end are related to immigration mitigation, and establishing incentives for marriage and family. I am also passionate about opposing medical tyranny perpetuated by the globalist elites. I am pro-life, pro-gun, and pro-American worker.

Who do you look up to? Whose example would you like to follow, and why?

I admire Fr. Seraphim Rose. His works such as Orthodoxy & The Religion of Future, and Nihilism, seem to be more relevant as time passes. His life was also an example of true repentance and the re-orientation of one's life towards Christ.

Is there a book, essay, film, or something else you would recommend to someone who wants to understand your political philosophy?

The Death of The West by Pat Buchanan offers the most accurate application of my views in the context of our current system.

What qualities do you possess that you believe would make you a successful officeholder?

I am committed to the truth. I will persevere in the interest of the American people, no matter the personal cost. My principles are strong, and guided by my Orthodox Christian Faith. I don't apologize to the left, or back down from pressure from them or weak "conservatives."

What is the first historical event that happened in your lifetime that you remember? How old were you at the time?

Bill Clinton's scandal with Monica Lewinsky, and ensuing impeachment. I was 11 years old.

What was your very first job? How long did you have it?

McDonald's. I worked there for 2 years, from age 14 to 16.

What is your favorite book? Why?

The Soul After Death by Fr. Seraphim Rose. The remembrance of Death is deeply beneficial spiritually. Understanding how to navigate Death, and not live in fear of it will keep you from being manipulated by the Evil One and his globalist puppets.

If you could be any fictional character, who would you want to be?

Elwin Ransom from C.S. Lewis's Space Trilogy.

What was the last song that got stuck in your head?

The Paraklesis to the Theotokos.

Do you believe that it's beneficial for representatives to have previous experience in government or politics?

I believe that it is time to elect outsiders, without establishment ties or baggage. Our current establishment on both sides of the aisle are out of touch with the needs of the American populace.

What do you perceive to be the United States’ greatest challenges as a nation over the next decade?

The greatest challenge to America as Nation is frankly, remaining a Nation. In the face of Globalization, mass immigration both legal and illegal, and the constant attack on the foundational unit (the nuclear family), America is trending towards being nothing but an economic central hub for globalist elites.

Is there a particular representative, past or present, whom you want to model yourself after?

I admire and respect Rep. Paul Gosar, who has displayed an immense amount of courage to reach to and associate with young conservatives, such as Nicholas J. Fuentes, who have been unfairly maligned by the fake news media. Rep. Paul Gosar, has also been the most effective Conservative Representative.
