“I realized that there was an even greater mission to create a new party, a new movement, a new way of life. One that truly represented Americans as a whole”
– Hawk Mikado
Why Politics?
Mikado is the “candidate for the new generation” and founder of the TRUE American Party whose mission is to create true and lasting freedom for the future, programs that will benefit California and America for the New Generation and ever-changing world, and honor his true values and beliefs without selling out to the OLD Two-Party System that makes us vote for the “Better of Two Evils”.
Early in his political journey, Mikado struggled to find which party truly resonated with his values and beliefs. Since he had both Conservative leanings on economic issues and Liberal leanings on Social issues, he went to both party meetings but discovered they were arguing to accomplish the same thing. Both parties wanted to replace the same assemblyman…and were fighting to hire the same position! It didn’t make sense! Hawk knew then that the old two-party system was outdated and frankly obsolete.
A Trend of Changing Demographics:
Millennials favor innovation and change. Just as they embrace new technology, so too will they embrace a new political system. Although the average millennial is not Republican, they are very pro-entrepreneurship and Hawk is on the cutting edge of this trend. Millennials today are rejecting traditional parties and need a change.
“California is the most technologically advanced state in the world and we need to embrace this new wave of change.”
