About Us

Our Story

The goal of Simplified is, well, simple: to make politics accessible for everyone.

When someone tells you they don’t vote, it’s typically because they feel they don’t know enough. That’s what we’re here to fix.

Simplified offers a quick and easy way to learn about complex political issues and topics through short videos. We bring the content right to you on all of your favorite platforms so you can learn something new, feel more engaged with politics, and move on with your day.

I’m Mitchell, a 23-year old California boy trying to make a difference and currently working on the Legislative Affairs team for Governor Gavin Newsom. I am a proud alumnus of Chapman University and Northwestern University.

Follow us and help us bring politics back to the people.
