- Hi, this is U.S. Senator Ron Johnson,
and I'd like to thank Wisconsin Public TV
for giving me this opportunity to speak to your viewers.
The U.S. Senate race in Wisconsin this year
offers Wisconsin voters a very clear choice.
I have a lifetime of experience, I've raised a family,
I've built a business, I've created good-paying jobs
in the manufacturing business.
I've worked hard all my life.
I got my first tax-paying job at the age of 15,
working as a dishwasher in a Walgreens Grill.
I worked full time, paying my way through college,
and I worked all shifts when we started up
my manufacturing business.
I'm also proud of my record as your U.S. senator.
My tax cut for 95% of U.S. businesses
allowed small businesses to compete with the big guys
and survive the pandemic.
My Right to Try law is saving people's lives.
And my Joseph Project has transformed hundreds of lives
by offering them the chance to have the dignity
of earning their own success.
Right now, Wisconsin voters
should really be asking themselves,
are you better off after 21 months of Democratic governance
and Democratic control?
I think when you consider 40-year high inflation,
record gas prices, skyrocketing crime,
a baby formula shortage, open borders,
and a flood of deadly drugs,
I think the answer's pretty obvious
that most people are worse off.
It's important to remember though
that these things didn't just happen.
These are the direct result of Democrat policies
and Democrat governance.
And Lieutenant Governor Barnes supports all of these policies
causing you and your family so much pain.
If elected, Mandela Barnes would be a rubber stamp
for President Biden and Senator Schumer.
He would make matters worse.
When I first ran for office,
I made Wisconsinites two promises:
I will always tell you the truth,
and I will never vote, and by extension never conduct myself
with my reelection in mind.
I have scrupulously honored those promises.
If reelected, I will do everything I can
to help make things better.
I'm asking for your vote.
Thank you.
