ROY W. GURNER

Decentralist for Congress | Nevada's 3rd District
I didn't come to fix the system. I came to replace it with something that works.
READ THE PAPERS

Core Principles

Selection, Not Elections

Representatives chosen by sortition. No campaigns. No donors. No permanent political class. Just citizens serving their neighbors.

Citizens as Shareholders

Every American receives a direct dividend from national prosperity. Your share of the country's success, deposited directly. No middlemen.

No Income Tax

You keep what you earn. Consumption tax only. The more you spend, the more you contribute. Save and invest freely.

True Ownership

No property tax. Once you own it, you own it. No annual rent to the government for the privilege of keeping your home.

State CEOs

Governors appointed by the President. Accountable for results. No lifetime politicians. Run the state like it matters.

Community Healthcare

10% tithe funds local clinics, doctors, and emergency care. Your community, your healthcare. No insurance companies. No federal bureaucracy.

Flywheel Economics

The economy isn't broken. It's being drained. Eliminate the waste, and the surplus appears. Return the surplus to the people, and they spend it. When they spend it, GDP grows. When GDP grows, the surplus grows. When the surplus grows, the dividend grows.

Eliminate Waste → Surplus Appears → Dividends to Citizens
→ Citizens Spend → GDP Grows → Surplus Grows
→ Larger Dividends → Repeat Forever

This isn't theory. It's arithmetic. The money is already there. We're just giving it to the wrong people.

The Continental Union

America doesn't end at the border. Properly unified and managed, the Western Hemisphere becomes the most powerful economic bloc in human history.

614M Citizens
$70T GDP
$114K Per Capita
$11,400 Annual Dividend

United States. Canada. Mexico. Venezuela. Colombia. Central America. Greenland. One economic union. 20,467 representatives chosen by lottery. Everyone a shareholder.

EXPLORE THE ECONOMICS

The 80/10/10 System

Every dollar you receive:

Community Healthcare

The 10% tithe replaces government healthcare, insurance companies, and federal bureaucracy. A community of 30,000 people generates $34.2 million per year in tithe funds. That's enough for clinics, doctors, emergency services, mental health support, and elder care. Your neighbors run it. You walk in and get care. No forms. No denials. No CEO making $20 million while you wait for approval.

About Roy

Background

  • 20+ years defense & intelligence
  • Deployed: Afghanistan, Iraq, Jordan, UAE, Philippines, Korea
  • SOF infrastructure & targeting
  • AI systems architect
  • Self-funded Bachelor's & Master's
  • Las Vegas, Nevada

I spent two decades building systems for the warfighter. Command and control. Targeting. Intelligence fusion. I've seen what works and what doesn't. I've watched billion-dollar programs fail while simple solutions sat ignored.

The Decentralist framework isn't ideology. It's pattern recognition. The same first-principles thinking that builds working systems can rebuild governance. Strip away the complexity. Find the simple solution that actually works. Implement it.

I'm not a politician. I don't want to be one. I'm a systems architect who sees that the American system is badly designed and can be fixed.

A Note on Mental Health

I'm medicated for BPD and CPTSD. I'm open about this because the stigma around mental health treatment is wrong and dangerous. Getting help is strength, not weakness. If you're struggling, get help. It doesn't disqualify you from building things that matter.

"The dividend is the counterinsurgency. People who are prospering don't rebel."

Why Congress?

I'd rather be an advisor than a legislator. But someone has to introduce the bills. Someone has to stand on the floor and explain why the current system is designed to fail. Someone has to be the voice for ideas that neither party will touch because both parties benefit from the status quo.

NV-03 deserves a representative who isn't bought, isn't playing the long game for a lobbying job, and isn't afraid to say what everyone knows: the system is broken and both parties broke it.

What I'll fight for:
