UCampaign
web development company
uCampaign, the operating name of Political Social Media LLC, is a Washington-based web development startup that produces apps for United States Republican campaigns. The company has produced apps for dozens of right-wing campaigns and organizations, including: Maryland Governor Larry Hogan, the Republican National Committee, the Family Research Council, the National Rifle Association, and Senator Rand Paul. uCampaign produced similar apps for President Donald Trump (known as America First) and the primary campaign of Senator Ted Cruz. News organizations raised privacy concerns over how the apps collected broad user data beyond the apps' stated purpose. Outside of the United States, their apps are used by conservative political parties and anti-abortion groups in Australia, Canada, and Europe, including an app in support of Brexit. uCampaign charges a single fee for the base app and monthly maintenance thereafter.
Their apps use concepts from video games to induce users towards specific actions with badges, points, and social recognition as rewards, a concept known as gamification. For example, in uCampaign's National Rifle Association app, the player is awarded points for sending messages to elected officials.
The company's chief executive, Thomas Peters, is a Catholic blogger and former web developer. He founded the company in 2014 from his earlier experiences working as a conservative activist in 2012 and frustrations at the success of the Obama campaign's digital campaigning.

Why this record matters
“UCampaign” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, UCampaign, development and company provides the most credible route into that argument.
The record creator and administrative purpose are central evidence, because official documentation reflects both action and institutional priorities. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 31, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q57546885. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2014 and 2012.
Later summaries often reconcile disputed chronology or motive more neatly than the contemporary record permits. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
