RICK WILSON for CONGRESS

Born in New Jersey , I grew up in a small town of 2,500 in central Illinois.  I know small town values and still have those same values.

My high school education was at International School in Brussels .  Having spent time living outside of the U.S. , I assure you I love my country and see it as the shining city on the hill everyone but our President does.

 

I attended Purdue University and received a Bachelor’s Degree in Industrial Management from Central Michigan University in 1983.

 

My wife, Joyce and I reside in Grand Blanc.  We have three adult children and two new grandchildren.  One of the reasons I am running is to leave this country a better place for my grandchildren.

 

My 35 year career as a manager in the auto industry ended abruptly when the AC Spark Plug plant in Flint became a parking lot instead of a place of employment.  I know what it is like to lose your job.  I also understand what it is like to lose your pension and health care, as I have lost both.
