3.9.22 Guest Ben Ruiz Congressional Candidate District 1 Tonight's guest is another candidate for US Congress in the 1st District of Indiana. Tough questions, fun times! Mr. Ruiz was asked to provide a bio. This is what he sent us: "I come from a proud family, one that has been involved in public & military service in dedication to our country. I am married and currently have four children. I have a small business that I run from home in the Retail, Marketing and Advertising contract sector. I want to work for the people and not the swamp in D.C. We need positive solutions to create and bring more business to Northwest Indiana where we can offer greater incentives than Chicago and incentives to benefit our local cities and rural communities in Congressional District 1, and improve the education in our schools, and make public safety in particular, a top priority to curb the ever-growing violent crimes plaguing our district that have spilled over from the Chicago region. Democratic policies in the northern district have failed Hoosiers for over one hundred years. It's time to make a change and take charge of NWI again and across America as well. I know what it takes to navigate complicated governmental agencies, and get things done."
