I am asked all the time, “What makes me think I am more qualified than the other candidates”? Actually, I have met and like all the candidates I am running against. Even though I have never met Congressman Palazzo, I like him.

The biggest difference between myself and the other candidates would be my unique business background. I have built and operated several successful companies in several different industries as well as a few businesses that weren’t so successful.

As a person, you learn more from your failures than your successes. I have traveled the world for business so I have a well-rounded education when it comes to other cultures and their business practices. In business, I have had to create budgets and operate within those parameters. I have employed and managed hundreds of employees. I have had to meet payrolls and offer benefits such as health insurance and retirement plans.

Therefore when I get elected, I can contribute on multiple committees with experience in agriculture, trucking, logistics, import, export, distribution, supply chain, financial, banking, insurance, IT, labor management, taxes, food security, migrant workers, and construction. Just to name a few. With over 40 years of experience in the real world, managing real day-to-day operations of multiple businesses, I believe I am more qualified. And I can work well in Congress to change laws that are useless or hinder businesses in the day-to-day operations as well as maximize employee compensation.
