[upbeat music] - 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.
