His jealous brothers sell him into slavery and he ends up working for a rich noble named Potiphar (Ben Fries, of Constantine). After even more drama, he is thrown into prison, but it is through a superpower of interpreting dreams of the Pharaoh (Jason Halling, of Sturgis), that he ends up second in command in Egypt. Eventually, he is joyfully reunited with his family.

Naomi Ludman of Cass County writes, "For voters concerned about access to healthcare or paying for their health insurance premiums or prescriptions, Christian Vukasovich is the clear choice for U. S.
