Kameron Rudat (@ImKamreronRudat)
Founder & Editor in Chief
Kameron got his start as a student activist, and that experience is exactly what pushed him to found Average American News. He was sick of watching both parties talk past each other and treat voters like they only exist to be spun. At heart, he’s still a conservative — but he built Average American on the belief that people deserve straight talk instead of a partisan act. He hosts Conversations, the network’s flagship show, and writes The Sunday Paper, Average American’s weekly newsletter, bringing a “what they’re not telling you” lens to the stories the mainstream outlets bury.
Marci Crismali (@MarciCrismali)
Co-Founder, Executive Vice-president, COO, & Culture Columnist
Marci co-founded Average American News and runs the operations that keep it moving. He cut his teeth in politics as Vice Chair of the North Carolina Teenage Republicans, giving him an early, on-the-ground view of how party politics actually works — experience that now shapes how he helps build a brand people can trust to be straight with them.
