Share Your Story | Vincent Cordova for U.S. President 2028

Step 1 · optional

Use AI to help you draft it

Putting years of your life into words is hard. You can paste this prompt into an AI assistant like Claude or ChatGPT. It will interview you and help you organize your story in your own voice. Read every word before you send it to us, and fix anything that isn't exactly what happened.

I want to share my story with the Cordova 2028 campaign about how a government system or institution hurt me or my family. Help me organize it, but keep it in my own voice and do not add anything I did not tell you.

Ask me questions one at a time, until you have:
1. What happened, in order, with approximate dates.
2. Who was involved, by role (caseworker, judge, insurer, landlord, agency), and what each one did.
3. Where it happened (state, county, city) and which agency, court, or company.
4. What it cost me or my family: money, time, health, relationships, freedom.
5. Who gained from it, and how. Money, a bonus, a quota, a fee, a deadline met, or a number on a report.
6. What documents I have (emails, texts, court papers, letters, bills) and what each one shows.
7. What I think should change so this never happens to anyone else.

Then write it as a first-person story. Mark anything I'm unsure about with [unsure]. Don't invent quotes, numbers, or laws. If you mention a law or a dollar figure, tell me where to check it.

I'd like my story considered for publication on this site. We will contact you and get your approval of the final version first.You may contact me with follow-up questions or to request documents.

By sending, you confirm that this story is true to the best of your knowledge. See our privacy policy.

What makes a story useful

Tell it in your own voice. AI can help you organize, but the story has to be yours and it has to be true.
Dates, places, and agency names help us find patterns and check the facts.
Say who gained. Was it money, a bonus, a quota, a deadline, or a fee? If you don't know, say so. Finding out is our job.
Keep your documents. Don't upload them here. If we follow up, we'll ask for them.

Protect yourself and others

Children: use a first name or initial only, and leave out school names and anything that could identify them.
Other people: describe private individuals by their role (for example "my caseworker" or "the landlord") unless you are comfortable naming them. We may remove names before publishing.
If you have an open court case, talk to your attorney before you share details. Sharing could affect your case.
If you or someone you know is in danger right now, call 911. If you are in crisis, call or text 988.

What happens next

A real person reads your story.
We identify the incentive and the rule behind it.
We fact-check what we can against law, budgets, and records.
If you asked to publish, we send you the final version to approve.
Patterns across stories become policy we fight for.
