Congressional Candidate Jessie Vargas Joins The MCAA At The MAC PAC Breakfast

Words: Jeff Buczkiewicz

Jessie Vargas, a two-time World Champion boxer from Nevada and current Congressional Candidate, recently took time from his schedule to speak at the MCAA's MAC PAC Breakfast during the World of Concrete Convention in Las Vegas. 

Jessie is an inspiration for many in our country. He is a young man who has done well for himself, and wants better for his country and his children. He has lived his life to be self-sufficient. As Jessie stated, when he was younger he always thought of himself as a Democrat. As he continued his journey through life, he discovered he wanted less government interference and realized he was incorrectly aligned. Now he has fixed that by running in the Republican Primary for Nevada's 4th Congressional District.

As the political climate continues to show a disparity between the two parties, we see young people like Jessie discovering what their true political alignment is and getting involved to make a difference. The MCAA supports Jessie and others like him who promote less government involvement, which allows people to rise through society in pursuit of the American Dream. This is neither a Democratic nor Republican attribute, but something inherent to our country's foundation.

It is refreshing to see a young man embrace those ideals and have a clear vision for the future. The MCAA is proud to support Jessie in his run for Congress and we encourage other people in our industry to consider supporting him as well.
