About Our Speakers

John Pudner

President of Faith & Freedom, John has appeared on Fox News, Newsmax, NPR, and syndicated talk radio shows across the country. He is a monthly “National Guest of the Day” on Fox News Radio and a columnist for Newsmax. Pudner was featured on Fox News after defeating House Majority Leader Eric Cantor in a historic 2014 upset — the only time in U.S. history a sitting Majority Leader lost a primary. He ran faith-based voter turnout for President George W. Bush across 16 states, has flipped multiple state legislatures, and is widely known for winning campaigns despite being outspent by extreme margins.

Spencer LaVerde

Spencer is a young, energetic speaker across Wisconsin who has wowed audiences with his relentless grassroots spirit. Audiences regularly ask about his personal story — including the time he personally hit more than 500 doors in a single day on a bicycle. In his first several months, he hired, trained, and led dozens of canvassers to deliver 602,000 targeted candidate comparisons to voters. He is an expert in modern voter contact, local engagement, and mobilizing civic-minded parents and faith-friendly communities.

Rev. Dr. Luke Farwell

Pastor Outreach Director Luke Farwell is the Co-Pastor of First United Presbyterian Church in De Pere, Wisconsin. He holds advanced degrees in history, divinity, and theology, and frequently speaks on how conservatism offers the most humane and reasonable solution to today’s political and cultural challenges. With a deep interest in the intersection of theology, history, and limited government, he brings a thoughtful and accessible voice to civic engagement and voter outreach.

Arni Jacobson

Board Chair Arni Jacobson is a nationally recognized church planter, speaker, and former Chaplain of the Green Bay Packers. He grew Celebration Church into one of Wisconsin’s largest congregations and has since coached pastors nationwide in scaling impactful, high-growth churches. A published author and mentor, Arni blends faith, leadership, and strategy to energize audiences about community transformation, family, and freedom.

Mari Ruh

 Director of Operations and Board Secretary Mari Ruh is an ordained minister with over 20 years of ministry and church leadership experience. She has served as an Executive Pastor, church planter, and small group program leader. Mari also brings political experience from her role on her county’s party executive committee, where she discovered just how many faith-friendly voters were disengaged. She now focuses on helping educate and activate Christians to research policy issues and make their voices heard at the ballot box.

Proven Results

Our team has distributed more than 600,000 voter guides and fliers using our Churches–Doors–Postcards model—which our President first developed for President George W. Bush’s campaign and to flip the legislatures in all three states in which he lived from blue to red, This program is now used nationwide, and was credited by Rep. Troy Nehls (TX) for delivering Wisconsin for President Trump.

A Speech on Critical Issues

Our speakers offer deep insight into today’s most urgent policy fights and grassroots strategies that are shaping the future of center-right organizing. From election reform and voter turnout to parental rights and school choice, we bring real-world success stories and lessons learned from both the front lines and the back rooms.

Topics can include how we’ve advanced conservative policy—even in deep-blue places like New Jersey and California—and how we’ve won more campaigns than anyone else when being outspent by more than 3-to-1. Whether it’s breaking through with Hispanic, Black, or young voters, or walking audiences through our latest wins in swing states like Wisconsin, our presentations are always data-driven and action-focused.

We cover how to stop overreaching liberal school boards and bureaucrats, and how to fight back against activist judges pushing Lawfare goals—an effort that reached its peak in attempts to prevent Americans from voting for President Trump by imprisoning, bankrupting, or removing him from the ballot through judicial activism.

We also address stopping illegal immigration that fuels human trafficking, fentanyl deaths, and violent gang activity—issues that hit close to home in communities across the country. And keeping men out of women’s sports, restrooms and even prisons.

Hear about the ground game that led to Restoration News citing our work as one of just three national success stories in the 2024 cycle link to article, with detailed quotes and strategy breakdowns.

We’re happy to tailor remarks to your audience—whether it’s a policy group, church leaders, campaign volunteers, or national funders. Past talks range from a 2017 Silicon Valley session with tech executives (back when Elon Musk was just the 20th richest man in America) to getting powerful candidate comparisons into the hands of thousands of targeted voters at just $1 per voter reached—five times more efficient than typical commercial efforts.

Let us know if you want a deep dive on winning over lawmakers after the campaign ends, how to run an effective church outreach push, or what’s working with third-generation canvassers in swing counties across America—or ask us to go deeper into one of the past issues covered in any of the dozens of headlines from past media appearances and speeches written about at wisconsinffc.com.

 Q&A on topics like parental rights, limited government, election reform, and the future of center-right organizing. including why Restoration News featured WIFFC as one of 3 success stories showing the path to conservative victory.

Don’t Fund Noise. Fund Movement.

Your Donation Can Change Conservative Turnout for Years to Come

A permanent campaign requires permanent commitment. Your investment today builds the foundation for victory tomorrow.

TV ads disappear in 30 seconds. Field operations create voters for life.

WIFFC proved it in a pilot in Ashland County—delivering a 10-point conservative swing by investing in year-round grassroots organizing.

For major donors, a $50,000 sponsors a field director:

 Builds trusted church-to-voter networks

 Trains local, faith-driven volunteers

 Drives voter engagement in overlooked areas

 Outperforms million-dollar ad blitzes at a fraction of the cost

For smaller donors, a targeted voter is reached for every $1 given; one-fifth the cost of paid canvassing operations. $500 = putting turnout lit in the hands of 500 more conservative voters who too often stay home in close election races.

Don’t fund noise. Fund movement.

Every day we wait, the other side builds.
