I'm running for Congress because I think we need more working class people to represent us. In D.C. i grew up working class on a dairy farm. But like a lot of Wisconsin farmers, We had to sell our cows because of the price of milk and competition with larger dairies. And that's a big why of why I stepped up to run to take on corporate ag that put family farms like mine out of business and to enforce antitrust laws. (00:18–00:23)
