I’m Ray Pooley—a third-generation manufacturer, CNC machinist, working-class advocate, and proud chicken tender.

🐔 Rooted in Rural Values 

I grew up surrounded by small farms and open fields, right down the road from the local cider mill. My rural upbringing taught me the value of hard work, community, and caring for what we’ve been given.

​

The hunters and fishermen in my family taught me a lesson I’ve never forgotten: Take care of the land, water, and air, and they’ll take care of you. Mother Nature is a force to be reckoned with—and she always returns the favor, one way or another.

​

Raising chickens has taught me patience, responsibility, and how to manage a rowdy flock. That experience may come in handy in Congress. And don’t get me started on the price of eggs.

💪 Fighting for Working People 

I’ve spent my life around people who build things, grow things, fix things, and keep our communities moving. They deserve a government that works as hard as they do.

 

This campaign isn’t just about me—it’s about all of us. It’s about building a future where jobs provide a dignified living, healthcare doesn’t bankrupt families, corporations are held accountable, our natural resources are protected, and the next generation inherits a country as strong as the values we pass down.

 

That’s the America I believe in. With your help, that’s the America we’ll build and fight for together.

Not Bought. Built.
