From Local Business to Local Leadership

AJ Taddonio didn’t grow up dreaming of politics — he was too busy building businesses, lifting couches, and dodging HOA rules like a pro. As the founder of Cornelius’ favorite moving company (check the reviews, they’re real), AJ has mastered the art of getting things from Point A to Point B — on time, on budget, and without breaking Grandma’s china.

So, why run for mayor?

Simple. He figured if he can move an entire town, he might as well lead one.

AJ’s platform is powered by purpose, caffeine, and an unwavering belief that you don’t need a political science degree to fix potholes or get stuff done. He believes in local leadership, common sense decisions, and delivering more than just furniture.

Also, he already owns a suit.

I’ve been lifting for years. Now I’m lifting Cornelius.
