Hello I’m Jesse J. Vodvarka I’m a manager of a small, family-owned manufacturing business in western Pennsylvania, we manufacture springs and wire forms, I’ve never served in public office in my life and I’m running for the US Congress.

Having grown up in the family workshop and working since I was about 9-10 years old the experience and values that I would bring to DC are having lived through the destruction of the American manufacturing base.

There are many running for office that say they will bring manufacturing jobs back to America and talk a big game in doing so, but I’ve lived it, and if you send me to DC I won’t back down on trade policy!

With regards to China, the US needs to do much, and being less reliant on their goods is a start, but that means we need to start making those goods here in America. The strength that China has over our manufacturers is their State Owned Enterprises (SOE) which in many cases make products below cost of manufacture to destroy industries abroad. This type of trade policy has been permitted by American politicians for a generation, and it needs to end now.

There are many other issues/factors that need addressed to stabilize America’s manufacturing base and I want to go to DC to help correct them. A goal of mine is to go to DC for 6 years and then go back to the shop and make springs! If you believe in me then I’m asking for your support, help me get to the ballot and then help me get to the General election.

God Bless you all!

Term limits

I only want to serve three terms and I feel that the rest of Congress should as well; you shouldn't make going to Congress your career, but instead go and serve then return to your career.

Balanced Budget

Balanced Budget: You can't spend more than you take in, if you have a business and do this you will go out of business, and we need to start paying down the National debt.

Trade Policy

As a millenial, President Trump is the first President that has not pushed a globalist agenda and has stood strong for American manufacturing and I want to continue that policy and strengthen it.
