The divide in America has gone on long enough, which is influencing younger children in our schools. It’s time for change and new leadership to take watch of our kids and schools along with taxpayer investment in education, which also impacts our economy and national security!

WE HAVE WORK TO DO!  WE NEED YOUR HELP!

To support the November 2024 elections and begin laying the groundwork for ‘25, we have transitioned the Virginia Parents First Coalition PAC to the Virginia Freedom Leader Coalition PAC.

Your considered contribution of $50 (recurring), $100, $250, $500, $1,500, $5,000 or other amount would go a long way to support candidate races – and send a message to the incumbents…

– WE ARE ON OUR WAY!

I want to personally thank you for past contributions that have exceeded $13,000, which helped with costs for fundraising initiatives, consulting and polling on education issues, and coordinated campaign efforts in Congressional districts and local races during the November ‘22 and ‘23 elections.

Jeff Hoffmann, Chair

Virginia Freedom Leader Coalition PAC

About the Chair

Mr. Jeff Hoffmann is a resident of Northern Virginia (NOVA) for over twenty years, including graduate alum of George Mason University. For Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS), Jeff was proud to serve alongside his boys as Vice President of Business Development for the Freedom Hill Elementary Parent Teachers Association.

He is currently the President and CEO of Cyber Intelligent Partners (CIP), a Virginia LLC that provides consulting, advising services, and training products for cyber & digital transformation, including information & communication technologies (ICT). In July 2023, CIP received a global award for “cyber and digital transformation solutions” at the Education 2.0 Conference in Las Vegas, NV. In March 2024, Jeff has been selected as a participant of the CXO 2.0 Conference panel titled, “The Futurist CEO — Anticipating Trends and Disruptive Technologies.”

Jeff sits on an Advisory Board for the Virginia Department of Education, which is updating standards of learning (SOL) for Computer Science in public schools. This includes improvement and addition of cybersecurity SOL goals.

Prior to ownership of CIP, Jeff was the Regional Cyber Lead for the Defense Security Cooperation Agency Institute for Security Governance. In this capacity, he led teams to advise foreign partner cyber command elements, Presidential staff/council members, interagency, and Ministry of Defense groups on incident response, workforce development, critical infrastructure, crisis planning, and security operations center infrastructure.

In 2021, he returned from the United Kingdom where he designed cyber threat intelligence (CTI) and information and communication technologies (ICT) analysis, counterintelligence, and targeting capabilities for the U.S. European Command and completed research on emerging technologies with the Kings College London Department of War Studies – a program, co-sponsored with the Cambridge Security Initiative chaired by past Head of British Secret Intelligence Service (MI6).

In 2017, (as a private sector trusted agent for the U.S. government), Jeff was awarded by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) for managing the mission engagement portfolio for a four-year priority technology modernization initiative called IC-ITE. This transformational effort advanced data analytics, including open-source techniques and Artificial Intelligence (AI)/machine learning, leveraged multi-agency cloud computing, and expanded collection tradecraft. Results of this work were written into first-ever Intelligence Community Mission Capabilities Strategic Guidance. For ODNI, he was also a contributing author for two National Intelligence Council annual cyber threat assessments and a representative on the Cyber Threat Intelligence Integration Center Cybercrime Working Group.

In earlier years of his career, Jeff was employed by the U.S. government for seven years managing initiatives, missions, and projects across air, space, and cyberspace and a director for a multi-million U.S. Department of Agriculture program that provided economic development.
