DataRepublican (small r) @DataRepublican - . @SenJohnCurtis I am told you pride yourself on being a nice, open-minded person.
Many have begged me to go after you. I didn’t because we need you.
But just now, your office just sent me the most patronizing message in response to the very real testimony I offered on the behalf of @realJeremyCarl weeks ago. Not just that, but that Carl retweeting one of my posts was a possible factor in you denying his nomination.
Senator Curtis, I’m really struggling here ethically. Genuinely. You are my Senator and I respect you especially in the light of a swing vote.
But the message your office sent me just now is very upsetting and patronizing, and shows you don’t listen to your own constituents at all.
Let me ask you a simple question.
Are you willing to communicate with me and get to know me?
Yes or no?
Silence will be taken as a “no.”

DataRepublican (small r) @DataRepublican - I’ve known for weeks that @SenJohnCurtis used my Xeets to accuse @realJeremyCarl . I held back because we still need his votes and also because I was told he was a good guy.
After my letter explaining in detail who I am, and testifying on the behalf of Carl, and even knowing his staff was using me to score liability points, I held back.

DataRepublican (small r) @DataRepublican - This exactly matches my own @BasedMikeLee experience.
The people telling us that we shouldn't expect a true response from our own representatives are part of the problem!
@SenJohnCurtis you still have time to change my mind on this. Do you get to know your own constituent, or do you bathe yourself in the praise of USGLC, Politico Playbook, other DC institutions?

Constitutional Nobody @TrueGritNewsMan
On an up note, the last time I wrote to our other senator, Mike Lee, his office called me almost immediately.

DataRepublican (small r) @DataRepublican - . @SenJohnCurtis your office not only just completely blew this over. But used a retweet of mine — I am your own constituent, Carl isn’t — to sink Carl’s nomination.
This is our olive branch. Will you live up to your reputation of being a nice and attentive Senator, and get to know a petite Deaf lady constituent of yours in person?

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.
