Meet Marc Iannarino

What sets Marc apart from the millionaires running Congress? 

He’s walked in our shoes.

His campaign is built on a simple truth: Washington works best when it’s run by people who know what it’s like to stand in line, work a double shift, and fight for a fair shot.

"If you want to know why your health care is up, if you want to know why groceries are up, why housing is up, it's because Congress is not incentivized to look out for the average working person. They're looking out for themselves and for their donors. I want to change that narrative. That's my track. I am a bartender, former Navy veteran, or, I guess, a current Navy veteran, former Navy guy, and that's my path forward."
