WHY CHRIS IS RUNNING
Chris is running for Congress because he believes the government should work for working people.
Too many families are doing everything right and still struggling to get ahead. They are working hard, raising families, paying bills, and contributing to their communities, yet they feel like the American Dream is becoming harder to reach.
For fourteen years, Chris has fought for families facing difficult circumstances. He has seen how decisions made in government affect people in their everyday lives.
We need leaders who understand the challenges families face because they have lived them. We need leaders who focus on solutions instead of division and results instead of politics.
Chris is running to expand opportunity, lower costs, strengthen our communities, and ensure every family has a fair chance to succeed.
