The Definition of Insanity..
..is doing the same thing over and over expecting a different result.
Our Origin
We have seen the same political script play out in Washington’s 5th District cycle after cycle. We’ve seen the same campaign tactics, the same messaging, and-ultimately-the same results in November.
We decided we’ve had enough.
The Can’t Trust Baumgartner PAC was born from a simple realization: if we want a different outcome for WA05, we have to build a different machine. We are doing something different, working for a different result.
The Executive Edge
We are a team of WA05 residents who aren’t just “political junkies.” We are veteran campaigners who have spent our careers in the private and public sectors, leading at the highest levels of business, finance, telecommunications, marketing, and social organizing.
- Fiscal Precision: Bringing the discipline of corporate finance to every dollar we spend. No waste, just ROI.
- Infrastructure Excellence: Leveraging telecommunications expertise to connect with the 5th District—from the heart of Spokane to our most rural communities—in ways the old guard hasn’t even dreamed of.
- Strategic Messaging: Moving beyond “politics as usual” to tell a story that actually resonates with the people who live, work, and raise families here.
Our Commitment to November
The 5th District is our home. We aren’t outside consultants flown in for a season; we are your neighbors who have reached the limit of our patience with the status quo.
We are currently scaling our operations and recruiting a Spokane Field Director and a Social Media Manager who share our “different results” philosophy. We are building the team that doesn’t just play the game—we change the scoreboard.
