Ainsley! Congratulations on your win! Thank you. It was a great night. It really was Ainsley. You won by thirty seven percent. You were running against ten other Republicans. Was it your winning message or being backed by Trump? Why do you think you won? Well, listen, I think its a winning message and I think that winning message is because you know President Trump was essentially on the ballot. You know we had eleven candidates in this race. We had over about one point: two million spent against us in this race. President trumps, America first agenda was on the ballot and we won Ainsley tell us about you. What are you like tell us about your background and what you want to do in Congress
sure I grew up on a farm here in the district. I went to college on ROTC Scholarship, the last twenty five years I have been working for the american coal industry, pushing back on the radical left and I saw what was going on in my industry, and I saw what the Democrats are trying to do to the rest of America. So I thought it was time to go to Washington and make a difference and thats why im running Ainsley in a different race, just a district over from you, Shontelle Brown, backed lie. Hillary Clinton beat the progressive Nina Turner. Turner said we didnt lose this money, evil money, manipulated and maligned this election. Why do you think the Democrats rejected her progressive message? I think people across the country are rejecting the progressive message I have had as many democrats in the 15th congressional district come up to me and say we cant vote for new this primary buff. We are going to vote for you in the general because you are supported by President Trump, and I see that from every county across this district Ainsley. And what do you plan to do when you go to Washington? How are you going to help the folks in Ohio?
Listen, I think we got to put America first again. I think we have got to make sure you guys were talking about it earlier this critical race theory being taught in our schools. We got to make sure we stop this out of control spending. I think we need a balanced budget amendment. Look im going to be, like President Trump im going to be a fighter im going to go to Washington and put America first and work.
