- This is Tony Wied.
I'm a small businessman and political outsider
running for Congress in Wisconsin's 8th District.
Before running for Congress,
I ran small businesses with my wife in Northeast Wisconsin
for nearly three decades.
Most notably, I ran gas stations,
convenience stores, and Little Caesars franchises.
I'm running for Congress to take the lessons
I learned in the private sector to Washington.
As I travel around all 11 counties
in Wisconsin's 8th district,
the number-one issue I hear from voters
is the higher costs on everyday items.
My number-one priority in Congress
will be to lower costs
so Wisconsin families can feel some economic relief.
And that starts with stopping
the reckless government spending.
Our country has a deficit of $35 trillion.
Every 100 days,
we're going another trillion dollars in debt.
This type of reckless spending is unsustainable,
and it's the direct cause of the inflation
that we're seeing right now.
As a small business owner,
I learned you can't spend more money than you make.
We need that same common sense in Washington.
When I go to Washington,
there are three ways I'll fight to lower inflation.
First, we need to put an end
to this out-of-control government spending.
Second, we must extend the tax cuts
that are set to expire next year.
These tax cuts allow Wisconsin families
to keep more of their hard-earned money
and allow businesses to keep growing.
Lastly, we need to unleash American energy
by reducing regulation and becoming energy dominant.
For too long, we've watched
as politicians in Washington have failed us.
They would rather attack people than attack problems.
I've spent my life solving problems,
and that's exactly what I want to do
for the people of Wisconsin's 8th District.
I hope that I can count on you and your vote on November 5.
