The story of Hubble began in February 2019, when I was planning a campaign for the Ohio State Senate. Frustrated and priced out of existing tools available for tracking finances and collecting data from social media and campaign websites, I decided to create his my solution. As a software developer running a low-budget campaign, I wanted to keep costs down. So, over the next 11 months, I worked tirelessly on Hubble in my spare time, while juggling a full-time job and campaign activities in the evenings. Although my political campaign wasn't successful, I soon found a better use for my talents as a volunteer for local congressional candidate Joel Newby. Joel's campaign needed a tool to cut turf that wouldn't break the bank, and Hubble was the perfect fit. It officially launched on February 18, 2020. Over the years, I've continued to add features and functionality to Hubble, and am proud to have been selected as a Mercury First Seed finalist in July 2022. Today, Hubble has been used by campaigns to connect with voters throughout Ohio and the midwest.

Great idea! Can't wait to see this put into use in more states!
