ASBL 20 – May 29, 2025, Michael Faris, 2026 Candidate

Michael Faris is a “blue collar patriot for Kentucky,” not a career politician. A native of Elizabethtown, he has “worked with his hands his entire life [starting] on his family’s hay and tobacco farm, learning the values of hard work, discipline, and integrity. From those roots, he built a successful career in aviation and owns a small helicopter maintenance business, proving that with dedication and perseverance, the American Dream is still achievable.” Learn more about him at FarisForSenate.com.

We discussed Michael’s agenda for Kentucky, the need to have our Constitutional rights honored, and the problem of federal contracts going to big businesses when they 23% of them should go to small businesses. (The ASBL’s mission is to expose and rectify that problem.)

This was a particularly specific and inspiring conversation.

The American Small Business League is the strongest voice in America protecting the federal programs that assist the nation’s 34.7 million small businesses. Winning over 100 Freedom of Information legal battles has exposed rampant fraud in federal small business programs. In the national media and in federal courts, the ASBL has had a larger presence than all other organizations that claim to represent the interest of small businesses combined. Learn more at ASBL.com.
