un seat is running for re-election but he has only run ads supporting Trump. He was running one about BLM
with someone yelling "Death to America". Today he started running ads about the Russian Hunter Biden claims. That seat was held for ever by Democrats Wayne L. Hayes, Douglas Applegate and Charlie Wilson. Then through gerrymandering and the Tea Party he got in.
He is a total Trump cultist.
and interesting that 'was held for ever by Democrats Wayne L. Hayes, Douglas Applegate and Charlie Wilson.'

Next year we will have a panel, voted on by voters. They are stealing as much as they can while they can.

(17,988 posts)The reason we are so red is gerrymandering by John Boehner.
Sherrod Brown dumped DeWine out of the Senate. Crooked old men like Householder with help from Boehner turned us red. But Ohio put Aa over the top. For some reason all the counties down the Ohio River voted for Obama. They had been red for 100 years.
Wayne Hays.

(17,027 posts)I wanted to give his opponent, Shawna Roberts, a donation, but she isn't on ActBlue. I sent an email and haven't got a reply. I put one of her signs in my yard and voted for her, but I don't see or hear much from her for the campaign. I met her last year when I joined a protest in front of johnson's Marietta office and she has a great presence.
