Additional comment from candidate:
Hello voters I'm running against Paul Ryan as a Trump Conservative November 8th. I want to thank ivoterguide.com for helping to share my priorities for Congress. Priority #1 is term limits, 2 terms for Senators and 8 years for Congressmen. #2 is to bring jobs back to America. We need to renegotiate or leave NAFTA, stop TPP, and end the outsourcing of jobs to China and Mexico. My 3rd priority is to secure Americas borders. We need to build a wall along our southern border and end illegal immigration. Justice must be served against all who aided the 9/11 terrorists and for this reason I am calling for a new 9/11 investigation based on the recently declassified 28 pages documenting specific indications of Saudi financial support of the 9/11 hijackers while in the United States and a U.S. District Court Ruling that Iran directly supported al Qaeda in the 9/11 attacks. Thank you for your time and consideration. Spencer Zimmerman Wisconsin 1st Congressional District Candidate
