101-Year-Old Florida Man Running For Congress

Joe Newman says he has the experience necessary to be a congressman.

Newman is competing for Florida’s 16th Congressional District; fighting for Vern Buchanan’s seat.

After living for 101-years, Newman has seen what this country is capable of and he believes Congress can do much better.

It can be said that experience is the greatest teacher and Newman has plenty he wants to share.

“You learn through life you have certain responsibilities. And if you don’t fulfill them, how can you look in the mirror?”…

He wants to see a government that can properly fund Social Security, expand Medicare, and eliminate poverty. By running, he hopes to not only raise awareness, but inspire others to believe the same.

“If people are saying, who is this fool at 101 and running? Call me a fool. I’m sorry, but I’ve got to get out and convince John and convince Jim, hey think!” he said. “What is the best thing our society can do and what is the responsibility of our society?”
