Phillip Drake embarked on his journey as an independent contractor for the federal government in 2011. He was assigned to various undercover international and domestic anti-corruption operations. This experience granted him first hand insight into the inner workings of the government and its potential for positive change.
In 2015, he relocated to southern Texas, continuing to engage with his local community and expand his network. During this time, he embraced fatherhood, welcoming his first child, James Drake, in 2018, and his second child, Stella Drake, in 2020. The responsibilities of parenthood further fueled his commitment to creating a better future for the next generation.
Phillip's journey into the realm of politics began with founding the Uniting America Nonprofit in 2022. The nonprofit assists Americans in need, with a focus on combating child trafficking, ending homelessness, providing disaster relief, and championing social justice.
Phillip's unwavering vision for a more united and robust America prompted him to declare his candidacy for the 2024 presidential election. Initially, he ran as an Independent candidate but switched to the Democratic Party in May 2023.
However, as he witnessed persistent corruption within the DNC and the broader two-party system, Phillip Drake made a bold decision. In October 2023, he returned to his Independent Candidate status, driven by a resolute commitment to transparency, ending corruption, and challenging the entrenched two-party structure.
