Election Day is coming.Built by people who are in the arena.
CampaignAI was founded by a multi-partisan team committed to humane technology. Republican. Democrat. Forwardist. We're building for the next generation, not the next news cycle.

Built by all sides. Trusted by all sides.
AI in politics is too important to be built by one party. Our founding team brings Republican, Democrat, and Independent perspectives to every product decision, so no campaign has to wonder whose side we are on.
Principles we can all agree on
We don't agree on much in politics. We do agree that every campaign deserves professional tools — and that's the whole idea.
No single party controls the product
Every decision is shaped by people with different political perspectives.
Transparency by design
AI disclosure on every video. No hidden agendas. No partisan favoritism.
Accountability in every direction
Our founders hold each other to a higher standard because they don't always agree.
Your trust is the product
If campaigns across the spectrum trust us, we're doing something right.
The Founding Team
Tom Krumins
CEOSC Forward Party Founding Member.
Campaign Operative. Movement-Builder. Stand-up Comedian.
Tom is a social impact entrepreneur, movement-builder, and founding member of the South Carolina Forward Party. He has spent his career building and scaling nonprofits, darkhorse candidate campaigns, and advocacy movements. He serves as CEO, leading the company’s strategy and vision with a product that truly grows alongside our customers. Tom spends his days asking the hard questions so you don’t have to. He builds in public and in community, showing that there are better ways to harness these technologies.
Jermaine Johnson
SC State Representative. Gubernatorial Candidate.
Deacon. Educator. A true grassroots leader.
Jermaine grew up surrounded by poverty, gun violence, and homelessness. But soon, he used basketball to earn a scholarship to the College of Charleston and play professionally overseas. He returned to South Carolina to earn a doctorate in organizational leadership, found a nonprofit for his local community, and defeat a 22-year incumbent to serve his local district. Jermaine is now running for governor. He knows what it’s like to run a campaign without the resources your opponents take for granted. He brings to CampaignAI the voice of someone who has found his way to victory time and again.
Brandon Guffey
SC State Representative
Child safety advocate. Business owner. Father on a mission.
Brandon built a career as an entrepreneur and small business owner before entering politics. After a personal loss, Brandon channeled his energy into legislative action, passing Gavin’s Law in his first session as a freshman legislator. He has since testified before the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee and become a nationally recognized voice on children’s online safety. Brandon is a true thought leader who recognizes the power of technology, both good and bad. He brings a clear vision for how technology can be built effectively and with some care.
Strategic Advisors
Andrew Yang
Former U.S. Presidential Candidate · Founder, Forward Party
Founder of the Forward Party — the third-largest U.S. political party by resources — and a national voice on AI and democracy for nearly a decade.
Three local leaders. One shared mission.
This all started with a series of questions out of South Carolina. Why is it so hard to tell my campaign's story? Why does it feel like democracy has a paywall? Why aren't we preparing for the coming AI wave?
Raising the alarm on AI.
Jermaine Johnson and Tom Krumins served as grassroots and political leads for Andrew Yang’s 2020 presidential campaign, one of the first national efforts to raise public awareness about the coming AI wave and its impact on jobs, the economy, and democracy. That experience shaped their understanding of what AI could do and what guardrails it would need.
Getting this right matters more than any one election.
Our democracy and government function on stories and information. AI is set to disrupt how we communicate with each other. Here at CampaignAI, we want that disruption to help us communicate better. Technology can bring us together, or it can divide us. That's why we're building the tools to empower modern campaigns of all shapes and sizes. We're building in the open… and we're only getting started.
