Swift-leased Raffone is running for the Presidency of the United States. With no operating budget for the candidacy outside of the one that keeps his trucking business rolling, he's relying on word of mouth via the road and social media to spread his message. Raffone’s by no means a traditional politician. The 25-year over-the-road operator’s platform, if he could be said to have one beyond a desire to return high-level politics to the average person, however, is heavy on trucking-related issues. He hopes that by staging a run he can at least raise the profiles for what he says are in some senses “old-fashioned” trucking ideas. He’s running, he says, as a Democrat.
