Ten Buck Fridays: Winner's Circle

A short but very sweet "Ten Buck Fridays" poll ― short because we're starting on Tuesday, but sweet because it's a winner's circle this week. All of the candidates featured in this week's poll have won in previous TBF polls. Many were considered to be underdogs early in the election season, but now they're much more competitive. All of these candidates need our help...

Ten Buck Fridays Congratulates Jesse Kelly!

With a solid majority of the votes, Jesse Kelly wins this week's Ten Buck Fridays poll.

Jesse Kelly is a enthusiastic Reagan Republican who has earned the endorsement of Mark Levin. In my estimation, there's no more convincing evidence of one's conservative credentials than a seal of approval from "the Great One." But don't take Levin's word for it. Listen to Jesse Kelly speak for himself. You'll be thoroughly impressed, I guarantee it:

Jesse Kelly beat a liberal Republican in the primary, now he faces an incumbent Obama Democrat in the general election.

If you haven't started giving to conservative candidates on a weekly basis, now is the time to start, and Jesse Kelly is an exceptional candidate to start out with.

The election is almost here, folks...less than 40 days to go!

Bio

Jesse and his wife, Aubrey, live in Marana, a town just northwest of Tucson, Arizona. They are raising two sons, James and Luke. The family attends Alive Christian Church in Marana.

Jesse is a project manager of Don Kelly Construction, his family’s contracting business, where he oversees multi-million dollar infrastructure projects. As a project manager, Jesse has balanced budgets, made payroll and hired hundreds of people.

From 2000-2004, Jesse served in the United States Marine Corps. In 2003, he was deployed to Iraq, where he led a squad of infantry Marines in combat. Jesse was honorably discharged as a Sergeant. He was awarded a good conduct medal, and his unit was awarded the Presidential Unit Citation.

Jesse made the decision to run for Congress the day President Obama signed the wasteful, $787 billion stimulus package. He will fight for solutions that work in order to create jobs and get the economy moving again. Jesse’s military leadership and business experience are exactly what we need in a Representative to Congress.
