It’s Time for a Reality Check!

Every election we send career politicians to Congress and we never get any results. I am a wife, a mother and a small business owner. I have been very successful in all of those endeavors, but every day I have to make tough decisions. I have to manage 50 employees, raise my four children, balance a budget, pay all the bills and obey all the rules. If you and I can do it, why can’t Congress?

We are facing our nation’s most severe financial crises. Rather than creating the millions of jobs we really need, Congress seems more interested in business as usual –spend, spend, spend to satisfy the special interests.

Congress needs a good dose of reality. Sending more career politicians isn’t going to fix our problems. Maybe it’s time we sent a mom and a small business owner to teach Washington DC how to get their house in order.

Our country’s immigration system is broken, our health care system is crumbling, our economy is floundering and unemployment is at unacceptable levels. All of these problems can be fixed, but only, if the politicians stop worrying about their careers and start worrying about their constituents. I intend to remind them of that every day that I serve in Washington. Just like I have to remind my kids every day what they are supposed to be doing.

I hope I can count on your support to start fixing our problems. Please vote for Teresa Hernandez for Congress.
