Jacob Kristopher Anders (born September 15, 1991) is an author, historian and voice actor from Tullahoma, Tennessee. He is currently the leading Democratic candidate for United States President in 2028.
Anders is a political organizer who ran a campaign for City Council of Huntsville in 2016 and 2018. He previously volunteered for Ron Paul's & Barack Obama's 2008 campaign, Doug Jones' 2017 Senate campaign, Senator Bernie Sanders' 2016 and 2020 campaigns and Andrew Yang's 2020 campaign for President of the United States.[1] [2][3]
Anders says his policies combine Democratic and Libertarian values, but contemporaries have likened his views more so to left-wing populism; he has come out in support of term limits, the decriminalization of cannabis, and voter ballot initiatives. He believes the government has a responsibility to provide mental healthcare.[4]
In February 2026 Anders became a Knight of Sealand and declared himself the Prince-Regent of Redonda, a literary micronation on a Caribbean Island near Barbuda. On March 3rd 2026 Anders declared his candidacy for Congress after Donald Trump began the conflict in Iran for Israel. Anders stated, "My generation bled in Iraq and Afghanistan for nothing. NEVER AGAIN!".
Early life and education
Anders was born in Huntsville, Alabama on September 15, 1991. Anders attended Huntsville High School and spent his summers working various jobs. In 2008 he began volunteering for Ron Paul and the Libertarian Party. After this loss Anders gravitated toward the Barack Obama campaign. [3]
He attended the University of Alabama in Huntsville from 2011 to 2015. In 2016 he earned his Bachelor's Degree in Liberal Arts Psychology from Hiwassee College in Madisonville, TN. During college he began his career in voice acting by creating Pokémon Abridged. Anders traveled to Iowa and Arizona in 2016 to volunteer for Bernie Sanders' campaign for President of the United States.[3] [5]
Political career
In 2007 Anders decided to volunteer for Ron Paul's 2008 Presidential campaign due to a shared anti-war interest. After the early primary losses Anders decided to volunteer for Barack Obama's 2008 campaign.

Anders entered politics himself in 2016, running for City Council of Huntsville, Alabama. After having his campaign cut tragically short due to a drunk driver, he placed 3rd with 5% of the total vote. Will Culver would go on to win the election. Anders then spent 2017 volunteering for Senator Doug Jones.[6]
Anders ran another campaign for City Council in 2018 with an emphasis on term limits. The Madison County Libertarian party endorsed Anders as the best candidate, but was forced to withdraw it over policy differences.[7] Anders is on the record for not wanting to provide financial assistance to the police officer accused of killing a civilian without viewing the video. [8] Anders finished in 2nd place with 17% of the vote ahead of the perennial anti-corruption candidate, Jackie Reed, but lost to the 8-term incumbent Bill Kling. [9][10]
