Meet Ray Pooley

⚙️ 3rd Gen Manufacturer

As a third-generation manufacturer (currently a CNC machinist and programmer) I have been immersed in the world of metal, rubber, and plastic from a young age. My upbringing around the production of rubber gaskets, O-rings, plastic details, car parts, and more has instilled in me a broad understanding of the industry. With 15 years of personal experience and a lifetime being around this industry, I proudly fight for my fellow blue-collar workers, and am tired of hearing the same hot phrase that never gets addressed:

Bring manufacturing back!

Why? Because it seems our representatives are too out of touch to bother with those of us who put in the long hours, who bust our backs, and who pull ourselves up by our bootstraps every morning to build this nation. If we are serious about bringing good paying, high skilled manufacturing jobs back, elect someone with years of hands on experience getting into the thick of it!

🐔 Proud chicken tender

Having grown up surrounded by small farms and open fields, right next to the cider mill, my rural upbringing has taught me a good number of lessons in life. One of which came from the hunters and fishermen in my family:

Take care of the land, the water, the air, and they'll take care of you. Mother nature is not a force to reckon with, and she WILL return the favor two-fold!

Congress may be full of chickens, but I've got the wisdom to round up a rowdy flock. Don't get me started on the price of eggs either.

This campaign isn't about me, it's about US! It's about building a future where jobs pay dignity wages, where healthcare doesn't bankrupt you, where we hold corporations accountable, where our conserve our planet better, and where the next generation inherits a country as strong as the values we pass down. That's the America I believe in, and with your help, that's the America we'll fight for together!
