Women and men from all walks of life–farmers, teachers, small business owners, doctors, prosecutors, state legislators—HAVE watched our country head in the wrong direction. They could not let that encroachment on the American dream continue, so they stepped forward to run for Congress and help restore America. The video below describes this national election and our candidates on the front lines: Over the last few | Read More »
Tomorrow is Election Day, and I’m excited for the Republican House candidates who have worked so hard over the last several months. Momentum is on our side, and tomorrow, Americans can make a bold statement to change our country’s direction. One who I am excited about is Young Gun candidate Sean Duffy, who is running in Wisconsin’s Seventh Congressional District. If Sean looks familiar, it’s | Read More »
Four days remain until November 2nd – a day when Americans can deliver a loud, clear message that they want to get their country back on the right track. Conservative activists are working hard making phone calls, knocking on doors, and reminding their neighbors to vote for conservative change next Tuesday. In Illinois’ Fourteenth Congressional District, voters have a choice between the status quo of | Read More »
A Washington Post poll found a majority of Americans are worried about being able to pay their rent or mortgage. This is yet another piece of evidence that the House Democrats’ big government policies have failed. In Colorado’s Third Congressional District, Young Gun candidate Scott Tipton can help bring common-sense change to Congress. Scott’s opponent, incumbent Rep. John Salazar, sided with Speaker Nancy Pelosi over | Read More »
Unlike Washington bureaucrats, small business owners know how to create jobs. I’ve been impressed that a number of small business owners have stepped forward as Young Gun candidates because they want to get our economy back on track. One of those Young Gun candidates is Reid Ribble, who is running in Wisconsin’s Eighth Congressional District. Incumbent Rep. Steve Kagen has supported House Democratic policies that | Read More »
Every two years Americans hold their members of Congress accountable. If they have done a good job representing them they send them back to Washington, but if they fail to lead they can be replaced. The last few years, we’ve seen the effects of failed Democratic policies. Unemployment is too high, businesses are uncertain about the future and are holding back from hiring and investing, | Read More »
Election Day is only seven days away. House Republican campaigns across the country are knocking on doors, making phone calls, and getting the message out. Many races are tightening. One of those is in Missouri’s Fourth Congressional District where Young Gun candidate Vicky Hartzler is taking on 34-year Democratic incumbent Rep. Ike Skelton. Vicky is an award-winning high school teacher, former state legislator, and runs | Read More »
Americans have so strongly rejected the Democrats’ failed policies that even long-time incumbents aren’t safe. One example is in South Carolina’s Fifth Congressional District, where Young Gun candidate Mick Mulvaney is challenging the 28-year Democratic incumbent, Rep. John Spratt. Mick is a State Representative and small business owner who knew our country couldn’t continue on the path the Congressional Democrats were taking us. His district | Read More »
A poll came out showing 61% of independent voters in 10 battleground House districts think Speaker Nancy Pelosi is more liberal than they are. This shows independent voters rejecting the Democrats’ out-of-touch policies. In Tennessee’s Fourth Congressional District, we see that contrast between Young Gun candidate Dr. Scott DesJarlais and Rep. Lincoln Davis. Today, I had the pleasure of campaigning with Scott. Scott, a doctor | Read More »
One of the most exciting House races is in South Florida between Young Gun candidate Allen West and Democratic incumbent Ron Klein. After campaigning with Allen today, I can confirm the excitement toward his campaign. Retired Lieutenant Colonel Allen West is an internet phenomenon who has fired up the grassroots. He’s attracted thousands of fans on Facebook and Twitter. You may have been one of | Read More »
NOTE: This was originally published at Sonoran Alliance. We’re 15 days away from November 2, 2010, and seeing growing momentum for GOP candidates. In Arizona’s Fifth Congressional District, Young Gun candidate Dave Schweikert is challenging Rep. Harry Mitchell in what Politico calls one of the “hottest House races in the country.” The growing national debt weighs heavily on our nation’s economic future, and is causing | Read More »
David Paul Kuhn at RealClearPolitics wrote that seniors are set to vote at historic levels this election. “And it’s bad news for Democrats. They support Republicans more than any other age group,” he writes. Can you blame them? After all, Congressional Democrats cut Medicare by $500 billion to finance their government takeover of health care. Seniors are also seeing the growing debt weigh down on | Read More »
NOTE: This post originally appeared on Hoosier Access. You’ve seen our economy deteriorate during this recession. We know family, friends, and neighbors who have lost their jobs–even their homes. Americans are hurting. Yet, Congressional Democrats claim they did so much good. But we’re smarter than those empty words. We know their trillion-dollar billion stimulus bill didn’t bring unemployment below 8% like they promised. Oddly, a | Read More »
Speaker Pelosi and President Obama promised that health care costs would go down. That hasn’t happened. Just look at what happened to Washington State resident Ralph Nilssen: “Obama care went into effect and my rates went through the roof,” said Nilssen. We need to repeal the bad health care law and replace it with reforms that lower costs and improve quality. To do that, we | Read More »
Americans everywhere are fed up with the failed leadership of Democrats in Washington –even in the supposedly blue state of New York. The Republican message of more jobs and less spending is resonating. Leading the charge in New York’s Nineteenth Congressional District is Young Gun candidate Nan Hayworth. Nan has watched businesses shut their doors or move away from her district because of high taxes. | Read More »
Before I highlight another Young Gun candidate, just wanted to let you know about an interview I did with Esquire that you can check out here. I’m still traveling through the scenic Pacific Northwest. Today, I’m campaigning in Oregon’s First Congressional District for Young Gun candidate Rob Cornilles.
Democrats are playing defense as voters don’t approve of how they’ve run their monopoly of power in Washington. Does this surprise you? Democrats have ignored Americans by putting us and future generations deeper into debt. They rammed through a health care bill they didn’t even bother to read. The voters are rejecting these out-of-touch liberal policies, and instead are open to new, conservative leadership. I’ll | Read More »
This weekend, I was at the Bakersfield Business Conference, and enjoyed meeting all the men and women in attendance that are working hard to grow their businesses and create jobs. Washington can learn a lot from these job creators. You don’t need me to tell you that the number one issues for Americans is jobs and spending. The Democrats said their $800 billion stimulus bill | Read More »
Today’s jobs numbers once again illustrate the Democrats’ failed economic policies. More people believe that Elvis is still alive than the stimulus actually created jobs. Can you blame them? By growing government and the national debt, Americans are not better off today. But, in November, the voters will be able to make a real change to get our country moving again. One disillusioned voter is | Read More »
In case you missed it yesterday, Townhall.com ran my op-ed called “The Comeback Kids.” It looks at our journey as Republicans over the last few years. Here’s a taste: This fall, we will witness a comeback; not just of the Republican Party, but of the principles Americans hold so dear. No longer will government exist merely to perpetuate itself or to use the American people | Read More »
Note: This was originally posted on PAWatercooler.com. We’re less than four weeks away from Election Day, and we have an exciting race in Pennsylvania’s Eleventh Congressional District between Young Gun candidate, Lou Barletta and long-time Democrat Paul Kanjorski. Lou, the mayor of Hazleton, PA, has correctly called for accountability from Kanjorski and Congressional Democrats for the unsustainable growth of government, job losses, and the poor | Read More »
Note: This was originally posted on Bucks Right. Republicans winning over independents and Reagan Democrats are crucial to our party’s chances of earning a majority in the House. With Republican Mike Fitzpatrick running we have a great chance to win Pennsylvania’s Eighth Congressional District. This district covers parts of northeast Philadelphia and the adjacent suburbs. George Will describes it as having “about 209,000 Democrats, 189,000 | Read More »
Today, the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget estimated the Democratic Congress added over $1.4 trillion to the public debt this past year. That’s more debt put on future generations to pay back. Our country can’t afford to continue all the spending and borrowing. That’s why we need new leaders in Congress like Austin Scott in Georgia’s Eighth Congressional District. This Young Gun and owner | Read More »
After adjourning, Nancy Pelosi and House Democratic leaders tried spinning their legislative “accomplishments” to reporters. What were those accomplishments? An unpopular government takeover of health care bill; a failed economic stimulus bill; and unemployment that is still near double-digits. I’m not surprised Americans are tired of these bad ideas, which is helping to build an electoral wave for common-sense solutions. That wave is hitting Arkansas. | Read More »
