Transparency
By Fire.

A decade-long joke about politicians taking us to dinner evolved into a mission. If they want the vote, they have to share the table.

The Vision of Mr. Squatch

Bringing unscripted integrity back to the political process.

The Joke That Built a Brand.

For over ten years, our founder, Mr. Squatch, lived by a simple punchline: "If they really wanted my vote, they could take me out to dinner." It was a laugh shared every election cycle, but it masked a deeper truth—voters are tired of being spoken at through campaign ads.

Mr. Squatch realized that while a candidate can’t take every voter to dinner, they can invite us into the kitchen. He teamed up with family friends and trade experts, The Butcher & The Baker, to create the ultimate transparency audit.

We watch them cook, we ask the questions submitted by the people, and we share the truth. If they can't handle the heat of the kitchen, they shouldn't handle the power of your district.
