Michael Wray claims he brought $200 million to the district. The truth? It's election-year "pork" that you're paying for with permanent bill increases.

For 15 years, Michael Wray brought almost nothing back to District 27. Suddenly, when he faced a real challenge, the "pork" started flowing. This isn't leadership—it's desperation.
