Why are you running for office: I am running for congress to get America working again! Our country is broken and far too many people are being left on the sidelines, feeling that those in Washington are only looking out for themselves and not the American people. I believe that we must accomplish three things to get America working again: we must get our financial house in order by stopping reckless spending and balance the budget, we must get Americans back to work and stop over regulating our job creators and small businesses and we must keep our country safe, that is both at the border and fighting terrorism at home and abroad.
I am the only candidate that has a proven record both in public service and in business of getting things done. I ran my family business for over 23 years and know what it’s like to sign the front of a paycheck, not just the back. As Senate President, I balanced billions in state budgets while cutting taxes and saving over a billion dollars in the state’s Rainy Day Fund. We desperately need this kind of leadership in Washington, our country and future generations cannot afford maintaining the current status quo.
Ken Bennett
