And that is enough.
I yield my time.

More now from the C-SPAN Archives of Transportation Secretary nominee, Sean Duffy.
He's a former U.S. Representative from Wisconsin, who prior to Congress also served as district attorney of Ashland County, Wisconsin.
From a young age, Mr. Duffy was competitive in long rolling and speed climbing.
He first appeared on reality television as a cast member on MTV's The Real World and Road Rules All-Stars, where he met his future wife.
Up next, we'll show you Mr. Duffy and his wife appearing together at the 2016 Republican National Convention in Cleveland.
Please welcome United States Representative Sean Duffy of Wisconsin and his wife, Rachel.

My grandparents came here from Mexico.
They settled in Arizona, where my father was a shoeshine boy.
By the age of 12, he started his own business making piñatas.
My mother taught herself English, and both of my parents attended night school and earned their degrees while raising a family.

Hard work.

That's right.

Hard work, discipline, self-reliance, and opportunity.
That's the American dream we believe in.

And it's a dream that's bigger and more satisfying than any bureaucrat or government check could ever hope to deliver.

Our grandparents chose to be Americans, and we choose to be Republicans Because the Republican Party offers upward mobility rooted in individual liberty and economic freedom.

We cannot let America become like the corrupt socialist regimes that our families left behind.

Sadly, Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton have left us $19 trillion in debt and thousands of new rules and regulations are crushing the American workers.
Do you want four more years of that?
Radical, radical jihadists are killing Americans.
While all the time, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama are fretting over whether to call it workplace violence or a hate crime.
Do you want four more years of that?
We need to unify behind a new president who can strengthen, protect, and restore our nation for the next generation.
unidentified
Every morning, I look into the eyes of what's at stake in this election.
Our children, yours, and mine.
The challenges facing America have never been greater.
We must meet those challenges.

But it's going to take all of us in Wisconsin, in hello, Wisconsin.
We turned our Blues Day red.
