Polls

See also: Ballotpedia's approach to covering polls

Polls are conducted with a variety of methodologies and have margins of error or credibility intervals. The Pew Research Center wrote, "A margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points at the 95% confidence level means that if we fielded the same survey 100 times, we would expect the result to be within 3 percentage points of the true population value 95 of those times."

Ballotpedia provides race ratings from four outlets: The Cook Political Report, Inside Elections, Sabato's Crystal Ball, and DDHQ/The Hill. Each race rating indicates if one party is perceived to have an advantage in the race and, if so, the degree of advantage:

• Safe and Solid ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge and the race is not competitive.
• Likely ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge, but an upset is possible.
• Lean ratings indicate that one party has a small edge, but the race is competitive.
• Toss-up ratings indicate that neither party has an advantage.

Race ratings are informed by a number of factors, including polling, candidate quality, and election result history in the race's district or state.

Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I am the Republican nominee for Ohio's 9th Congressional District. I am currently serving as a state representative in the Ohio legislature. I am a conservative lawmaker with 20 legislative victories from sponsored bills and amendments that are making Ohioians lives better daily. I hold a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Toledo and a Master of Public Administration degree from Bowling Green State University. I live currently in Monclova Township. I'm an enthusiastic Bengals fan and a real estate investor and played basketball for my high school, Monclova Christian Academy.

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

• The Biden/Kaptur economic policies are crushing Northwest Ohio families. Kaptur and Biden have instituted a tax-and-spend agenda that has resulted in inflation, outrageous costs at the grocery store, and put future generations of Northwest Ohioans on the hook for a skyrocketing national debt. As a Member of Congress, I will do everything I can to get America’s fiscal house in order. I support a constitutional amendment to require a balanced budget; America should only spend within our means. We must address the high cost of living, reduce Northwest Ohio’s tax burden, and bring American jobs back to America.
• The reckless open-border policies of Marcy Kaptur and the Biden administration have allowed mass illegal immigration. Marcy Kaptur never met an illegal immigrant she didn't want to give an American job. The Biden and Kaptur policies have created the worst border crisis in American history, flooding our communities with illicit drugs like fentanyl and emboldening criminal cartels. As a Member of Congress, I will continue to champion a secure border to ensure the safety of Northwest Ohio families. I support sending the military to secure the border to stop drug cartels and human trafficking. Furthermore, we must finish Trump's wall and deport illegal immigrants.
• Northwest Ohioans deserve to know their Social Security and Medicare benefits will remain secure. In 1983, when Marcy Kaptur first took office, Social Security and Medicare were in a stronger position. Over the past 40 years, Marcy Kaptur has stood by as they have become fragile and at risk of becoming insolvent. As a Member of Congress, I will protect our earned benefits that provide safety and security to elder Americans. Also, I support removing the federal tax burden on Social Security benefits as well as eliminating the windfall provision that penalizes hardworking Americans.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

I have successfully led efforts to cut the state's income tax, reduce regulations, and expand school choice.

What legacy would you like to leave?

Having lived in the Toledo area for nearly three decades, seeing the slow decline of my hometown has given me a desire to bring fresh leadership to Northwest Ohio.

When I leave office, I want to be remembered as someone that fought to bring positive economic change to Ohioans struggling to make ends meet, secure our Southern Border, and protect the social security benefits that secure the futures of millions of hardworking Americans.

More than anything, however, I hope that people look back and say that, before I was a politician or congressman, I was first a Christian, second an American, and third a conservative. Serving in Congress is a call to service, and one that I will take with the utmost respect for our constitution, and the American people.

Do you believe that it's beneficial for representatives to have previous experience in government or politics?

While experience is generally a good thing, our system of government was not intended to be life-long career for elected officials.

What are your thoughts on term limits?

I believe we must impose term limits upon Members of Congress to ensure new leadership that reflects the American population. That’s why I’ve signed the U.S. Term Limits pledge to cosponsor and vote for a constitutional amendment that limits members to three House terms. It’s time to challenge the political class and change Washington.

Do you believe that compromise is necessary or desirable for policymaking?

Yes.

What organizations or individuals have endorsed your campaign?

President Donald J. Trump

Speaker Mike Johnson
The Toledo Police Patrolman's Association
The Toledo Police Command Officers Association
Club for Growth
Republican Jewish Coalition
US Chamber of Commerce

The National Federation of Independent Business

What are your views on financial transparency and government accountability?

We must get America’s fiscal house in order. I support a constitutional amendment to require a balanced budget; America should only spend within our means. We must address the high cost of living, reduce Northwest Ohio’s tax burden, and bring American jobs back to America.

Scorecards

See also: State legislative scorecards and State legislative scorecards in Ohio

A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.

Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
