What sets Case apart? He is a Political Outsider.
Maybe sending another career politician to Washington DC is the answer to our problems. But I doubt it.
My fellow Republican candidates have spent a combined 40+ years in political office and run 20+ political campaigns. Respectfully, I don’t think sending Utah career politicians to become DC career politicians solves our problems.
The game in DC is rigged against the American people - and we know it. Career politicians pass no substantive bills. They solve no real problems. They engage in no real debate. And meanwhile our border stays open. The cost of living keeps going up. And the American dream keeps slipping away. I think most Utahns are tired of the dysfunction in Washington DC. And most of us want to elect people who actually know how to get things done.
Where I come from, you can’t fail to do your job every year for ten years and expect to keep your job. But in politics, getting nothing done is the name of the game. That has to change.
We can’t expect different results by doing the same thing. If we send Utah’s career politicians to become DC career politicians I worry we’ll get more of the same do-nothing politics. And that means more inflation, more government overreach, less secure borders and more corruption.
Restoring the American Dream.
The odds that my grandparents would achieve the American Dream in their lifetime, meaning they’d be better off financially than their parents, were 92%. For my parents generation, the baby boomers, the odds were 80%. For my generation, it’s 60%. For my kids, the millennials? Less than 50%. If it feels like the American dream is slipping away - it’s because it is. We must reclaim it.
Why am I running? I’m a guy who lost everything during the financial crisis in 2008. I had four kids under ten and I had to start all over again from zero - and somehow we made it. That’s called the American dream. I owe everything to this country. And I feel duty bound to help save the country that saved me.
In 2010, over half of Americans believed in the American dream. Today? Barely a quarter of Americans still believe in it. The last ten years have been devastating for American workers and families. We must fight to restore the belief in America as the land of opportunity. That’s why I’m running.
We must restore the American dream. We need to make America the place where if you work hard, and don’t quit - eventually you’ll make it. We need to make it the best place in the world again to start a new company, to raise a family. I still believe America’s best days are still ahead of us. But only if we fight for it.
