Campaign finance reform is not a question of whether it needs done. It’s a question of who will do it? Answer I stand for campaign finance reform!

My Grandmother Roberta (Berdie) Ford, with over a hundred and twenty descendants Grandma is filled with love for us all. Until she could no longer do it; we were all welcomed with a solid meal to eat, something to drink, and time/attention if we showed up at her doorstep. Even with her age she still remembers what’s important/ individualistic about each and every one of us. She cheers us on from the sidelines and genuinely cares about how we are doing. She has never been rich monetarily. Instead her spirit is bright enough to fill a room with light. She’s always known what’s truly important. I respect her beyond the love I have for her because her love for us has been unconditional. In treating us this way we have all had the freedom to mess up, get up dust ourselves off, and strive to do better. It’s time for society to do better. Let’s dust ourselves off together. Let’s be the change we want to see in the world and lead the next generation to prosperity.
The ability of the elected official to see how to take the issues presented and create policy changes without trampling on individual rights and freedoms.
I have been a homeless single custodial mother of two. I will never be able to stick my nose up in the air at anyone. I can’t be bought. I don’t give up/compromise my values.
To work on what the people want. No matter what they as an individual want.
My hopes for my legacy is that people see that I truly put my love of the people above everything. That I fight in a common sense way for the things that matter in their daily lives. That I leave the world a better place even if just for a moment.
Babysitting, off and on from middle school on post marriage. My second job was working at McDonalds for a summer during high school.
Good Omens by Neil Gaimen my friend Sym reading it to the household years ago holds special memories
Welcome to the pride? Five finger death punch.
I have faced more struggles than can be summarized easily, up to and including being dead twice. I have worked hard to overcome my past. I have helped others to do the same. My struggles don’t matter, my overcoming them does.
It’s ability to utilize committees of lawmakers to address specific areas of law that they have personal experience or interests in. Then to debate the issues as a larger whole and craft change to drafts. It makes what gets handed to the senators more complete and broader reaching than the thoughts of one person.
Changing the ways we prepare our youth for a machine based world. Keeping our allies while forming new alliances.
Yes , but I need more definition to make final decisions for where I can do the most good.
No I believe it should run tandem with the senate. The amount of work it takes to get one law passed or changed is huge. The House should have more time to refine what they are working on.
We have needed them for a long time.
Yes, the story of a family whose children are now in Childrens Services custody. The only solid reason is that the parents have learning disabilities. I have known this family for years and the parents are not abusive or neglectful. I have spoken to the children and they don’t have allegations of abuse. I am morally outraged by this situation, and will stand up for the family in any way I can.
The polish just bought a bunch of tanks as soon as they figure out how to get those septic tanks moving they’re going to invade. I know it’s a bad dad type joke. It’s purposeful though. Don’t spend money on things that won’t do the job/ do due diligence in research. Totally politically incorrect though.
Compromise is absolutely necessary for policymaking. No one person knows it all, and should work with others for the respect of differing beliefs and opinions. My line gets drawn at denial of hard cold facts.
It’s a huge power, and directing resources into the problems at hand can make a huge difference in day to day life issues.

General election race ratings

See also: Race rating definitions and methods

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.[4]
  • 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.[5][6][7]

Post-filing deadline analysis

The following analysis covers all U.S. House districts up for election in Ohio in 2022. Information below was calculated on April 6, 2022, and may differ from information shown in the table above due to candidate replacements and withdrawals after that time.

In 2022, 70 candidates filed to run for Ohio’s 15 U.S. House districts, including 39 Republicans, 29 Democrats, and two independents. That's 4.7 candidates per district, more than the 4.4 candidates per district in 2020 and fewer than the 5.5 in 2018.

This was the first candidate filing deadline under new district lines adopted as part of Ohio's decennial redistricting process. Ohio was apportioned 15 seats in the House of Representatives, one less than it received after the 2010 census. The Ohio Redistricting Commission approved a redrawn congressional map on March 2 in a 5-2 vote along party lines. On March 18, the Ohio Supreme Court ruled that it did not have jurisdiction to overturn the map as part of the legal challenge that overturned the initial congressional map.

Two incumbents announced their departures from the House. Rep. Bob Gibbs (R) originally filed for re-election, but announced on April 6 that he would instead retire, though his name would remain on the ballot. Rep. Tim Ryan (D) chose to run for election to the U.S. Senate instead of seeking re-election. In the race to replace Ryan, seven candidates filed to seek the Republican nomination with the winner facing state Rep. and former House minority leader Emilia Sykes (D), who drew no primary challengers.

In all, candidate filings created 19 contested U.S. House primaries—10 Republicans and nine Democratic. Six incumbents seeking re-election drew no primary challengers. At the time of the filing deadline, all 15 districts were set to be contested in the general election with at least one Democrat and Republican filing in each.

This made Ohio's 12th the 61st most Republican district nationally.[10]
