Brian Boyko
CTO of Mayday PAC
Brian Boyko is a social media and marketing consultant from Austin, Texas, whose consultancy, Blogphilo, produces web copy, video production, WordPress configuration, and presentation animation for tech industry startups and political campaigns. In 2013, Boyko ran a political campaign for Texas State Representative powered by viral marketing and Internet funding. Though the campaign was short-lived, Boyko was able to raise awareness of the issue of campaign finance and the eventual Democratic nominee promised to make campaign finance reform a key issue in the campaign and a priority if elected. All donations to Boyko’s campaign were returned to his contributors when he dropped out of the race. From 2007-2010, Boyko made multiple trips to New Zealand in order to study the reason why the South Pacific nation constantly ranked as the “least corrupt country” on Transparency International’s yearly index, including interviewing former Prime Minsters, current political party leadership, and living and working under the New Zealand political system for 6 months in 2010. He found that New Zealand’s relatively low corruption comes from a combination of good campaign finance laws and electoral reforms that make multi-party systems possible. He published his findings in his book, “Importing Democracy.” Boyko holds an M.A. in Journalism from the University of Texas at Austin and a B.A. in American History from Rutgers-Newark and the New Jersey Institute of Technology. He is a former associate editor of the award-winning newspaper, the Daily Texan, and operates a political blog at BoykoTX.org.
