CEO & Founder​

Thomas Peters, at 38, has an impressive background with two master’s degrees and a rich history in political organizing and digital advocacy. His career began in Washington D.C. in 2007 with the award-winning blog AmericanPapist, which attracted millions of readers.

RumbleUp is now the market leader in Republican P2P texting and has powered numerous campaigns and national committees, including those of the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC), the Republican Governors Association (RGA), the Republican State Leadership Committee (RSLC), and the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC).

Thomas has received widespread recognition for his work, including a “40 under 40” award from the American Association of Political Consultants. His innovative contributions have been profiled by major publications such as The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal, and he has appeared on notable media platforms, including Fox News, NPR, and Bloomberg’s Balance of Power podcast.
