00:00American businesswoman Dianne Hendricks.

00:03Good evening.

00:15My name is Dianne Hendricks, and I'm living proof that the American Dream is possible

00:26with hard work and determination.

00:31I grew up on a dairy farm in Wisconsin.

00:38I was one of nine girls, no boys.

00:42I dreamed of moving to the city and wearing a blue suit.

00:48But at the age of 17, I became pregnant.

00:51That was not part of my plan.

00:55But I truly believe that every life is a sacred gift from God.

01:04And I give thanks every day for my son.

01:09As a single mom, I worked two jobs to pay the bills.

01:14I found my passion in the field of real estate, which is still my passion.

01:19When I met my husband, Ken, he was a roofing contractor.

01:24And together, we saw an opportunity and a need to develop a distribution chain.

01:32And we risked everything we had to start that company.

01:37Today, ABC Supply employs over 22,000 Americans.

01:46We are the largest roofing distributor in the country.

01:52But what's even more important is we are creating these jobs right here in the United States

01:58of America.

02:05I lost my husband 16 years ago.

02:08It was the toughest time in my life.

02:12Thank God I had our seven children to be my support.

02:18But I had to decide whether to fight or fold.

02:26And I chose to fight.

02:33Since then, I've quadrupled the size of our companies.

02:37And to my surprise, I was recently just recognized as the most successful self-made woman in

02:43American history.

02:53So to all of you aspiring entrepreneurs out there, if I can make it, you can make it too.

03:05My success story as a teenage mom without a college degree was only possible because

03:12I was so blessed to be born in the United States of America.

03:20But today, the American dream is under threat.

03:25Since Joe Biden and Kamala Harris took over the offices, prices have risen over 20%.

03:33Aspiring entrepreneurs can't afford to take out a loan at 7%, 10%, 15% interest.

03:40Regulations have surged, and the administration has proposed $7 trillion in tax increases.

03:47I know how hard it is to build a company from nothing.

03:53And we need a president who understands that too.

03:57We need a builder back in the White House.

04:05Someone who will cut the job-killing regulations, lower taxes on working families, and give

04:11the power back to the American people.

04:18In life, it's easy to quit.

04:23And it's very hard to win.

04:27President Trump is not a quitter.

04:29He's a fighter, and I am confident that if we do all of our part, we can and we will

04:38win right here in Wisconsin.

04:40And he will win for America over the next four years.

04:47God bless you.

04:48God bless America.
