“I am the blue-collar guy in this race. A 25-year homebuilder. You look at Washington: 435 members of Congress, lots of attorneys and people in big business but no one who has swung a hammer for a living. 

“I tell people in all 11 counties of Northeast Wisconsin, I would be the only one and I think it’s important that we have someone who sweat to put bread on the table and people get that my wife and I, we are raising five little boys, and we sit around the kitchen table and have the same difficult conversations that hard-working families across our state are having to face each and every day with this 20% inflation since Joe Biden has taken office.  It’s the kind of message that resonates and quite honestly, people are looking for people in Washington, DC who can represent their values and that’s what I bring.”

“Just a couple of nights ago I was up in the middle of the night at a construction site on the I-41 corridor helping them lay some concrete down on a bridge overpass. These are the men and women who are building America. They need representation in Washington and I will be their voice.”

“Wisconsin is such a great place. We are known for our beer, for our cheese, for our Green Bay Packers but we are a microcosm of what America is and if you traveled with me around northeast Wisconsin to all of the parades and the festivals, you would see the factories and you would see the farms and you would see the hardworking men and women like I mentioned. This is a microcosm of America and so to have the convention here, representing this state and amplifying to the rest of the 50 states is a wonderful thing and will President Trump immensely here in November.”
