Hello Senator Curtis ( @SenJohnCurtis ), Many people on social media know me as DataRepublican. They do not know my origin. That story is inseparable from @realJeremyCarl. For five years, my account existed in obscurity. I posted maps, vote models, turnout analyses. Jeremy was there from the beginning. Not because I was influential. I was not. He followed because he understood the math. In 2020, when conventional wisdom insisted Florida would decide the election for President Biden, I built a real-time early vote model showing something different. The data was clear to anyone willing to engage it seriously. Many dismissed it. Jeremy did not. He grasped it immediately. In 2024, he found me again as I returned to early vote analysis, this time mapping Pennsylvania down to the city-block level. He reached out to me because he was intensely interested in who would do such a thing. When I told him who I was, a Deaf Aspie woman who had burned out in Big Tech and found solace in data modeling for its own sake, he did not react with sentimentality. He reacted with curiosity and care. He asked questions. He wanted to understand what Deafness meant beyond a label. He wanted to understand Asperger's beyond stereotypes. He wanted to understand what it was like to navigate Big Tech as a woman, and what burnout actually feels like. He did not reduce me to categories. He listened. And then he did something I never expected. He introduced me to Charlie Kirk and advocated for me... not as a diversity story, but as someone whose work deserved to be taken seriously. Charlie ultimately invited a Deaf woman with no platform to participate on Election Night. That moment did not happen by accident. It happened because Jeremy saw a person where others saw a profile. I say this plainly: no one has ever made my identity feel more understood or more respected than Jeremy Carl. He is frequently caricatured. It is harder to look closely. Jeremy seeks understanding, even when conversations are uncomfortable. He asks questions others avoid. He does not frame people as abstractions. He treats them as human beings. Senator, I have disagreed publicly with many people. I have not come after you, despite your political evolution and associations some in my circles question, because I believe people should be judged on who they are now. I believe in growth. I believe in second chances. And so far, you have not disappointed. I ask that you extend the same generosity of judgment here. Please do not take the easy path of voting against Jeremy Carl based on caricature. Judge him as I have known him: thoughtful, serious, deeply human, and incapable of the cruelty he is accused of. Respectfully, Jennica AKA DataRepublican
