Chris Long was a 2012 Republican candidate who sought election to the U.S. House to represent the 3rd Congressional District of Ohio.[1]

Campaign themes

According to Long's website, his campaign themes included:

  • The Economy: "America is in desperate need of leadership that understands the importance of putting our unemployed back to work rather than just paying lip service to this crisis."
  • Energy: "If we are to remain a prosperous country, America must demand a real “all of the above” strategy that explores multiple sources of energy production..."[2]
