Tech billionaires fund 5,000-person voter mobilization network

Rockbridge Network deployed approximately 5,000 field operatives across seven swing states in 2024 election cycle, creating private electoral infrastructure larger than most state party operations with typical 500-1,500 paid staff.

The network registered 125,000 voters in 2023 and planned to double that number to 250,000 in 2024 through systematic "ambassador" programs assigning ten new voters to each organizer.

Better Tomorrow (Virginia) and Over the Horizon Action (Washington D.C.) coordinated voter turnout operations funded by secretive Silicon Valley donors operating through multiple shell organizations.

Faithful in Action recruited over 160,000 church members for political activism through Rockbridge coordination, according to internal documents obtained by Reuters investigation.

NBC News polling showed Trump leading among respondents who did not vote in 2020 or 2022, making new voter registration crucial to Republican electoral strategy in swing states.

Rockbridge operations complemented official Trump campaign rather than competing with party infrastructure, demonstrating coordination between private money and official political operations.

Over the Horizon Action issued grants to multiple organizations including Firebrand Action while simultaneously receiving funding from Better Tomorrow, creating complex money-laundering networks.

The network's ambassador-based voter registration model systematically targets demographic groups through personalized relationship-building rather than mass mobilization techniques used by traditional campaigns.
