Brandon Straka is the founder of the #WalkAway Campaign, a social movement that encourages Americans to leave the divisive politics of the left. A former liberal and supporter of the Democratic Party, Brandon made headlines in May 2018 when his viral YouTube video explained why he walked away from the political left. This video ignited the #WalkAway movement, which now has over one million members across social platforms and thousands of testimonials from former Democrats who have made the same decision.

Through the #WalkAway Foundation and the #WalkAway Campaign PAC, Brandon has built a thriving organization with a presence in all 50 states. He has been a frequent commentator on media outlets such as Fox News, NewsMax, and CSPAN, and has appeared on programs hosted by Tucker Carlson, Laura Ingraham, and Mark Levin. His collaboration with the Trump administration included multiple studio interviews with Lara Trump and an appearance as the opening speaker at a Trump rally in Cincinnati, Ohio.

Brandon’s leadership has brought people together from diverse backgrounds to challenge the left’s narrative. Born in rural Nebraska and now based in New York City, Brandon is an openly gay conservative voice who advocates against progressive ideologies, including race politics, modern LGBTQ activism, and the left’s approach to “diversity” and “social justice.” He travels the country spreading the #WalkAway message, promoting political unity, and encouraging Americans to rethink the current political landscape.
