BEWARE of JD VANCE and ROCKBRIDGE

Rockbridge refers to the Rockbridge Network, a conservative political advocacy and donor organization co-founded by JD Vance (the U.S. Senator from Ohio and vice-presidential candidate as of 2024) and Chris Buskirk.

🔥Established in 2019, the group has drawn substantial backing from Silicon Valley tech investors—including Peter Thiel and Rebekah Mercer—and positions itself as a 🔴 disruptive, MAGA-aligned alternative to traditional Republican donor networks.🔥

Rockbridge operates as what its founders describe as a “political venture capital firm,” aiming to coordinate and fund right-leaning political projects. Its activities include financing conservative media, voter turnout operations, polling, strategic litigation, and initiatives for building GOP-aligned infrastructure in “red” states. They also explicitly seek to organize a “government-in-waiting” to staff Republican administrations and to build an ecosystem rivaling traditional think tanks and advocacy groups.

The network is known for hosting biannual, often high-profile gatherings of wealthy donors, political operatives, and technology
