Since becoming the 56th Speaker of the House of Representatives, it’s been a crazy whirlwind. I’ve been getting caught up on what needs to be done, and there’s one thing that’s been on my list I haven’t gotten to yet… Reaching out to you, Friend!
I’ve been so busy, but today, I wanted to sit down and type out my thoughts.
The odds of winning a Republican House Majority are a coin flip! There’s no way of knowing this far out who has the edge.
A Republican President will not be able to accomplish our conservative agenda if Democrats win the House.
I’m going to do everything within my power to elect conservatives to join me here in Washington, but without the funds to get out our message and turn out our voters, then there’s only so much I can accomplish.
I hate asking for money, but I’ve learned that’s part of the job now, and it’s what I must do if we want to win.
My story is simple. I was raised in rural poverty by a single mother on food stamps. At 18, I joined the Navy. After 26 years of service and 5 combat tours, I retired as a Navy SEAL Senior Chief. Now, I’m serving as a first-term Congressman for Wisconsin’s 3rd District.
I’m not a swamp-dwelling politician – I don’t have support from mega-donors or Super PACs. I’m just like you – a concerned American who loves this nation and will always do the right thing.
