“The Democrats have covertly used these techniques against us for five election cycles. Valor America is ahead of every other conservative effort with this science. They have the trained team to duplicate and outperform the efforts of the Left.”

Joe Arlinghaus

President & Founder

Joe got involved in Republican party politics in the mid 80’s in high school in Michigan. In 1987 and 1988 he walked door-to-door in the snow for Jack Kemp in New Hampshire. In 1992, he was a staff member in the Buchanan for president effort in the New Hampshire primary. Much of his experience has been in support of pro-life charity efforts also. In 2014 he accepted a challenge from the political team of Greg Abbott in Texas to find ways to win voters away from the Democrats using abortion messaging. In searching for a way, Joe met Dr. Adam Schaeffer and a long partnership began.
