Before starting his own communications business, Mr. Connors worked for more than a decade in Washington politics. His time in Washington included work for the RNC, Lindsey Graham, Donald Trump’s 2017 inauguration, and five political campaigns – including two at the presidential level.
In 2017, Mr. Connors stopped working for Washington insiders to focus on helping conservative independent candidates and political reform organizations. One major factor for breaking with the elitists in Washington was his experience seeing how the U.S. political system has been manipulated by career-politicians and lobbyists to reward Washington insiders while marginalizing and ignoring the American people.
The central doctrine of Mr. Connors’ political beliefs is that the greatest need for America is to fix the broken political system. Without correcting the abuses of career-politicians and ending the sanctified corruption that is rampant in Washington, the United States will see slow continuous downfall.- Fix America's broken political system. We must end the era of the career-politician and stop the sanctified corruption that is rampant in Washington. We must restore power back to the American people so that government works for the people again. We need term limits, a balanced budget amendment to stop the out-of-control spending, and most importantly, we need laws to regulate the crossroads between money and power to stop lobbyists from buying votes from members of Congress.
- For decades, career-politicians have changed and manipulated laws in our political system for pure self-enrichment – to insulate their power from competition and to line their pockets with money. The side effect of this manipulation is the highly destructive governing environment we see today: hyper-partisanship and hyper-dysfunction. If we want the American government to work for the people again, we must correct the abuses that career-politicians have inflicted upon our system.
- Washington is dominated by dysfunction, greed, circus, lies, and animosity. Small problems are getting bigger. Big problems are becoming too complex to adequately address. America is not going to magically snap back to an era of pragmatic government. We the people must take action. Nick Connors has a 10 Point Plan to fix America’s broken political system. The plan looks at ten specific points of legal corruption in Washington, and provides the solution. If we correct the abuses of the career-politicians, we’ll get our country back.
