Party: Unaffiliated

Incumbent: No

Submitted Biography:  "I'm retired Navy, and my service to my country isn't quite done. These widely popular issues are being overlooked by our bought politicians on both sides. Our country is at an inflection point and people are starting to wake up to the realization that the two party system isn't working for us. While the two parties have their internal struggles and tear themselves apart, they are leaving us behind. We have a chance to show the country that there is a different way."

Key Messages

---

First we need to claw our government back from the big dollar donors that seemingly own BOTH parties. 2026 marks 250 years of independence, it would be a good year to remember George Washington's words from his farewell speech regarding political parties: "cunning, ambitious, and unprincipled men will be able to subvert the power of the people and to usurp for themselves the reins of government".

---

Second I'd like to acknowledge the fact that even if I'm elected, only 1 member of Congress out of 435 cannot magically change the world. However, I will do everything in my power to garner like minded support in the House. It has been shown that a handful of representatives can have an outsized affect if they stick together on an issue. This could be used to, at the very least, keep poison pills out of already bloated legislation.

---

Finally we need to refocus our efforts at home and stop wasting money in foreign entanglements. Republicans can say 'America First' until they are blue in the face, but they just gave the Pentagon a TRILLION dollars in the OBBB. National defense... the real kind... starts right here at home. We want healthy citizens. We want educated citizens. We want thriving citizens. We need manufacturing here and the infrastructure to support it and move it efficiently. Just imagine what is possible if we believe defense at home is worth only HALF of what we've wasted abroad. Once you put it in perspective, it is clear we've been sold short.

Todd Schaefer (Unaffiliated)

First we need to claw our government back from the big dollar donors that seemingly own BOTH parties. 2026 marks 250 years of independence, it would be a good year to remember George Washington's words from his farewell speech regarding political parties: "cunning, ambitious, and unprincipled men will be able to subvert the power of the people and to usurp for themselves the reins of government".

Just imagine what is possible if we believe defense at home is worth only HALF of what we've wasted abroad. Once you put it in perspective, it is clear we've been sold short.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Todd Schaefer (Unaffiliated)

1. Get Money Out of Politics

2. Universal Healthcare or at an absolute bare minimum a public option 3. Housing Affordability through getting private equity out of our housing market 4. A minimum wage that isn't 16 years out of date and a way to tie it to inflation 5. Free Speech... I'd say more, but... :D

6. Reduce defense spending and shifting to diplomatic foreign policy over war

What characteristics or principles are most important for an elected official?

Todd Schaefer (Unaffiliated)

Responsiveness to voters over donors or lobbyists would certainly be top of list. Additionally I'd like more elected officials to have a broader vision for the country's future that goes beyond their next election.

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

Todd Schaefer (Unaffiliated)

The Challenger disaster is the first historical event I remember from childhood. I was 7. If that only counts as newsworthy and not historical, I'd say the fall of the Berlin Wall when I was 10. For those who weren't born or were too young, it is hard to describe how much hope there was in our country. That has had a profound impact on my world view. How we could have 'won' the Cold War and ended up where we are now is truly astonishing and depressing in equal measure.

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

Todd Schaefer (Unaffiliated)

I'd love to say it helps, but in our two party environment where candidates are selected by party elites before they can be elected by the people... well, make up your own mind about that.

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

Todd Schaefer (Unaffiliated)

We are standing on the edge of a world that we aren't the masters over. Our foreign policy through the use of war and economic war through sanctions and now tariffs has isolated us in many ways from the world. We need to change course before we are completely on our own.

Do you believe that two years is the right term length for representatives?

Todd Schaefer (Unaffiliated)

Yes. The House is supposed to be the closest to the people. A shorter term comes with more immediate accountability to the voters.

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

Todd Schaefer (Unaffiliated)

Dennis Kucinich for standing his ground against the Iraq War. He was redistricted out of his seat in 2012 in retaliation for not falling in line. We need those kinds of unwavering principles in power. The closest to that we currently have in the House is Thomas Massie. He has faced backlash from his party for his principles and hasn't bent the knee. We'll see how much they spend to primary him out this year.

General election race ratings

See also: Race rating definitions and methods

Ballotpedia provides race ratings from four outlets: The Cook Political Report, Inside Elections, Sabato's Crystal Ball, and DDHQ/The Hill. Each race rating indicates if one party is perceived to have an advantage in the race and, if so, the degree of advantage:

• Safe and Solid ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge and the race is not competitive.
• Likely ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge, but an upset is possible.
• Lean ratings indicate that one party has a small edge, but the race is competitive.
• Toss-up ratings indicate that neither party has an advantage.

Race ratings are informed by a number of factors, including polling, candidate quality, and election result history in the race's district or state.
