Jeff Mayhugh
Congressional Canidate
ABOUT
My name is Jeff Mayhugh and I’m running because my dad taught me never to step over a mess and congress is a mess. I look around at the world and I worry what my children are seeing. I worry what they’re future has in store. I worry about the lack of leadership Congress has provided during my lifetime. It’s probably the worst stretch in our history. So much deflection and anger. So little leadership and honesty. I’m not a politician and I don’t have any experience, but I am an American and I love this republic. I’ve worked hard to understand the problems our country faces, and I have some fresh ideas, I believe can help.
-
In the 1920s congress stopped expanding and as the population grew and our representation stayed the same, the people voice was drowned out. If we want our voice back, we must expand the house.
-
In 2010 the Supreme Court ruling of citizens United allowed corporations to funnel unlimited amounts of money into politicians fundraising accounts. Who do you think they will listen to? The people or the people who pay them? This ruling caused the people to lose our power. If we want our power back, we must repeal Citizens United.
-
We need to make sure our children and grandchildren don’t face these problems. We must pass congressional term limits.
I’m just a regular guy who thinks deeply and loves his family. I’d rather be building one of my business ideas or helping my community love reading they way I do. I’m not interested in fundraising or name calling. I am interested in doing the work necessary to make this country the beacon of hope it should be.
