My decision to be a Democrat was never a decision. Born into a family of Democrats, it was just expected of me. It was understood.
I was elected National President of the College Democrats of America in 1999, and now I’m a Republican candidate for U.S. Senate from Wisconsin in 2018. My campaign slogan is:
Send In The Marine.
While my choice was made clear to me through the experience of my marriage, the birth of my three children, my acceptance of Jesus Christ as my savior, my time fighting as a US Marine in two wars, and my experience in business since leaving the Marine Corps, it came at personal cost.
My parents have since turned their back on me, my wife, their grandchildren, and their extended family. Adding to this, they decided to make the maximum contribution to my Democrat opponent in my campaign for U.S. Senate in Wisconsin, an intentional personal blow that made headlines across the country.
It was deliberate – and it is a true representation of the intolerance of a political philosophy that stands on the false platform of tolerance.
