Johnny Thomas is a political activist and entrepreneur who co-founded I'm A Trumpster, a movement focused on engaging minority voters in conservative politics. With a background in the entertainment industry spanning over two decades, Thomas brings creative marketing strategies to political outreach.
Thomas co-founded I'm A Trumpster with Reggie Carr, a longtime business partner from the entertainment industry. Together, they developed the organization's distinctive approach, which includes urban-styled merchandise, music videos, and a 40-foot bus tour traveling to minority communities. Their strategy draws on entertainment industry techniques to create messaging that resonates with audiences who may feel disconnected from traditional political outreach.
During the 2020 election cycle, Thomas became a vocal advocate for minority engagement in conservative politics. He organized the I'm A Trumpster bus tour, which launched in August 2020 with a motorcade kickoff, traveling through ethnic neighborhoods to encourage voter participation. Thomas has spoken publicly about his own political journey and his belief in reaching minority voters through culturally relevant messaging.
Thomas appeared on the Kim Monson Show five times in 2020, discussing topics including minority voter outreach, media representation, and grassroots civic engagement. He has shared his experiences with media coverage, including instances where he felt interviews were heavily edited.
Based in Denver, Colorado, Thomas continues to work at the intersection of entertainment and political activism, focusing on broadening conservative appeal in minority communities.
