in the fall,
Ohio G Dot, OP congressional
candidate MIKE Kerry, joins us
now
good morning MIKE
Good morning.
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.
