That's Treasury Secretary Scott Besant, after touring a Frito-Lay factory in Casa Grande, a rapidly expanding city about an hour south of Phoenix that sits at the northern edge of Congressional District 6, one of just 18 competitive districts across the country that could determine which party controls Congress after the midterms.

The Best HR a CHRO Ever Built Is Why the Business Never Changed
J

I'm sorry, I'm going to go off on a little bit here, but I did some work back in Gosh, this was 2004, 2005, where I had the opportunity to help redesign Frito-Lay's sales compensation structure.
