Modern campaigning typically involves town halls, television advertisements, and door-knocking campaigns.
According to Fox News, the race for Florida’s governor’s mansion has taken a distinct turn toward the digital dating scene.
James Fishback is trying a novel strategy to get his message across to a specific demographic.
The 31-year-old investment firm CEO decided that the best way to reach young women wasn’t necessarily through a podium, but through their smartphones.
On Monday, he utilized social media platform X to reveal his unorthodox method of canvassing the electorate.
He explained the logic behind the move, noting that he wanted to enter spaces where voters already spend their time.
“I’ve joined @Tinder to meet young female voters where they are, and share my plan to make it easier for them to get married, buy a home, and raise a family,” he wrote.
To prove the account was active, he shared a screenshot of his profile. The bio featured a specific prompt asking for his “hottest take.” Fishback used the space to push policy rather than personality.
