Expand all | Collapse all

Eric Conroy is an Air Force veteran, former CIA case officer, and Republican candidate for Congress in Ohio’s First Congressional District. Born and raised on the West Side of Cincinnati, he is a proud graduate of Elder High School. He went on to graduate from the U.S. Air Force Academy, serve on active duty, and later work overseas in national security as a CIA case officer. His career has been defined by service to the country and protecting American interests. Conroy is running for Congress to bring disciplined leadership, real-world security experience, and a strong Southwest Ohio voice to Washington.
  • National security and border security must be restored. A safe nation is the foundation for prosperity. I support strong border enforcement, modernizing our immigration system, and ensuring that federal law is consistently upheld to protect American communities and sovereignty.
  • Fiscal responsibility is essential to protecting our economic future. Out-of-control federal spending has driven inflation and made life more expensive for families and small businesses. I will advocate for responsible budgeting, reducing waste, and policies that promote economic growth and job creation.
  • Energy independence and American manufacturing must be priorities. Southwest Ohio thrives when our industries are strong and our energy is reliable and affordable. I support policies that expand domestic energy production, reduce unnecessary regulations, and bring supply chains back to the United States so we are not dependent on foreign adversaries.
I am most passionate about national security, economic stability, and constitutional governance. My military and intelligence experience reinforced the importance of protecting our country from foreign threats while preserving the freedoms that define it. I care deeply about policies that strengthen American competitiveness, support working families, ensure energy independence, and uphold the rule of law.
