T.J. O'Hara
T.J. O’Hara is a strategic consultant, public speaker, and the author of three books. For over 25 years, he specialized in corporate turnarounds. In 2012, he emerged as the leading independent candidate for the Office of President of the United States. Along the way, he earned the first Presidential endorsement of the Whig Party since the 1850s, his website was archived by the Library of Congress for its historic significance, and he won We Want You’s first “virtual” election by a commanding 72.1% over President Obama, who finished second in the poll.
His column explores our Nation’s most pressing issues, challenges conventional thinking, and provides an environment for civil discussion.
