As I travel through the areas of the Eighth Congressional District, I am impressed with the level of activity by its citizens. At every stop, people express concerns about our country’s economic crisis and how the federal government is creating a financial disaster that will take generations to correct.
For more than 30 years I’ve worked hard at my career. I joined my family’s roofing business in the Fox River Valley, and created jobs for the area. During that time I was also involved in a number of charities, business associations, small business boards, high school athletics and church work. Whenever I felt strongly about an issue, I was not bashful about communicating my thoughts with elected officials.
We need people to be active and engaged in their government. Citizens care about the direction our country is heading; me too. It’s why I’m running for Congress. You’ve probably written elected officials over an issue that’s important to you, I’ve done the same. Private citizens getting involved and volunteering for something that they believe in is being a good citizen and not the source of the problems we’ve got going on in Washingington.

I plan on continuing with my volunteer work and I plan on continuing to communicate with representatives and I hope you will as well. I’m proud that I’ve been involved with boys and girls clubs and working with youth, the YMCA, the National Roofing Foundation and Association and coaching high school kids. It’s been rewarding and I hope I’ve offered some help along the way.
In the many months ahead, I will continue travelling throughout northeastern Wisconsin, and I hope you will take the opportunity to stop in at an event, or contact my campaign and share your vision for our country.
