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?

Amy Cox (D)

We must protect democracy from those who would destroy it.

We must establish healthcare as a human right

We must strengthen the middle class by ensuring that all jobs pay a living wage.

Michael Harbaugh (Independent)

We the People are getting ripped off by the Government and the Billionaire Class... Enough is Enough!

This Campaign will fight for policies that return the wealth of this nation to the Working Class People of this country!

Electing an Independent to Congress will shock the nation and inspire more everyday normal people to get elected to office and help take our country back from the corrupt people that run it now

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Amy Cox (D)

In addition to healthcare and living wage jobs, I'm very passionate about labor protections and making sure that workers are represented either in unions or on corporate boards. I'm passionate about ensuring sustainable environmental protections. We must push for reform so that the justice system doesn't serve as a way to keep low income and minority populations in a vicious cycle of fees and mass incarceration. Additionally, Ohio just passed two constitutional amendments protecting abortion and recreational marijuana, and it's long overdue that those issues are protected nationwide.

Michael Harbaugh (Independent)

I am passionate about being a voice for Peace in world affairs. The United States needs to Wage Peace by advocating for economic ties and pursuing new treaties to de-escalate hostilities with Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea. We need to remove the influence of the Military Industrial Complex Lobbyists over our elected politicians. Trillions of dollars have been wasted and the American Public has been Lied to in the last 20 yrs. for the War on Terror. The greatest crime is having wasted that money and not invested it in the American Working Class. By slashing our defense budget and investing that money here at home we can make the world a safer place to live in and provide for our own citizens basic needs.

Who do you look up to? Whose example would you like to follow, and why?

Michael Harbaugh (Independent)

I look up to anyone that is sacrificing themselves for a greater cause.

What characteristics or principles are most important for an elected official?

Amy Cox (D)

Elected officials must be able to listen to folks and respond to their needs with action and legislation. It's not enough to listen, smile, and take photos. People depend on the function of their federal government and need results from their elected officials, not just squabbles and endless looming shutdowns.

What qualities do you possess that you believe would make you a successful officeholder?

Amy Cox (D)

As a former teacher, I'm used to corralling people who behave like children -- a skill I suspect will come in handy in Congress. I also have two degrees in science, which will be a very refreshing change on Capitol Hill. As a former union representative, I know how to fight like hell, ask tough questions, and be an advocate.

Michael Harbaugh (Independent)

Big Chip on my Shoulder

What do you believe are the core responsibilities for someone elected to this office?

Amy Cox (D)

In short, you have to be able to meet people where they are in our district and then be a fierce advocate for them in D.C. You have to use your positions on committees to thoroughly investigate and shed light on issues that matter to your district and America as a whole. And you must leave your district better than it was when you took office.

What legacy would you like to leave?

Amy Cox (D)

I want to be known as someone who protected democracy and fought for human rights. I want to be remembered for casting my vote and fighting to enshrine healthcare as a human right in the United States.

What is the first historical event that happened in your lifetime that you remember? How old were you at the time?

Michael Harbaugh (Independent)

9/11 happened when I was 16 yrs. old and that started a fascination with the news and learning about the world that I have kept to this day. Thru this 20+ yr. journey studying the news and our government and war I have determined that the American People have been lied to every step of the way by our trusteed media sources in collusion with our government.

What is your favorite book? Why?

Amy Cox (D)

"The Shack" by William P. Young. The character descriptions of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost are unforgettable and it's allegorical theme stands the test of time.

If you could be any fictional character, who would you want to be?

Amy Cox (D)

Wonder Woman

What was the last song that got stuck in your head?

Amy Cox (D)

"Ruby, Are You Mad at Your Man" by the Osborne Brothers

Michael Harbaugh (Independent)

Tennessee Whiskey

What is something that has been a struggle in your life?

Amy Cox (D)

Keeping my rights as a woman. I'm not going away and neither are the rest of us who are fed up with the unsolicited obsession with dismantling our access to reproductive healthcare, otherwise knows as healthcare.

What do you perceive to be the United States’ greatest challenges as a nation over the next decade?

Amy Cox (D)

Holding on to our democracy and not giving in to autocracy.

Michael Harbaugh (Independent)

The greatest challenge for the U.S. will come from within our own government. Currently we have a completely corrupted ruling class that is plundering the wealth of this country and funneling it to themselves and their offshore bank accounts. We need to get new Independent representatives in office to stop the 2 major political parties from stealing anymore of this nations wealth from the working class. If we can slash Defense spending, take on Big Pharma and Wall Street we will be able to come up with hundreds of billions of extra dollars we could invest here in our own country on our own citizens.

Do you believe that two years is the right term length for representatives?

Amy Cox (D)

No, it leaves representatives in a constant state of fundraising and that leaves less time to work on issues that matter. I think 4 year terms would be more appropriate.

Is there a particular representative, past or present, whom you want to model yourself after?

Amy Cox (D)

I think Senator Sherrod Brown has done a fantastic job representing the working class of Ohio through his years in public service. He's always put families and hard workers in the middle class above business interests and corporate agendas. I look forward to joining him in Ohio's delegation to D.C.

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

Amy Cox (D)

When compromise can be a rising tide that lifts all boats, it's desirable. When one side wants to negotiate away human rights for a profit, that's unacceptable. I can and will work with representatives who want to make the country a better place for all - but I do not believe that any of our hard-fought liberties should be bargaining chips to be compromised away.

Michael Harbaugh (Independent)

My Independent Campaign is a NO COMPROMISE political movement. The time for negotiations has passed when it comes to these corrupted corporate political leaders, both political parties and their representatives need to be challenged directly and forcefully and I intend to do that if elected.

How should the U.S. House use its investigative powers?

Amy Cox (D)

One of the biggest forms of theft in modern times is wage theft, with millions of workers being paid less than minimum wage, tips being withheld, workers being pressured to work off-the-clock, unpaid overtime, or messy bookkeeping practices. According to the Economic Policy Institute, this results in upwards of $50 billion of theft from hard-working Americans every year. The House must investigate these white-collar crimes to ensure that Americans are paid every dollar they earn.

Michael Harbaugh (Independent)

The House should use it's investigative powers to subpoena and have testify under Oath the major corporate environmental polluters in this country, Wall Street for financial crimes and predatory/unfair market manipulations, the military and its leaders for lying to Congress about the success of our wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, and government institutions like the FDA, FBI, CIA, NSA, and EPA to uncover illegal actions and corrupt influence over our nations laws and regulations.

What organizations or individuals have endorsed your campaign?

Amy Cox (D)

So far in the primary cycle, I'm proud to have been endorsed by the Ohio Democratic Party and the Ohio Legislative Black Caucus. I’m also thrilled to have the support of the hardworking men and women at Ironworkers Locals 44, 172, and 290, the Dayton Building Trades, Lima Building Trades, IUPAT, IBEW Local 82, and UA Local 162.

Michael Harbaugh (Independent)

Currently none have but I have just launched my campaign so look forward to getting lots of endorsements in the future

General election race ratings

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.

Post-filing deadline analysis

The following analysis covers all U.S. House districts up for election in Ohio in 2024. Information below was calculated on 2/12/2024, and may differ from information shown in the table above due to candidate replacements and withdrawals after that time.

Seventy candidates filed to run for Ohio's 15 U.S. House districts, including 28 Democrats and 42 Republicans. That was 4.7 candidates per district, the most since 2018.

In 2022, the first election after the number of Congressional districts in Ohio decreased from 16 to 15 following the 2020 census, 4.5 candidates ran. In 2020, when the state still had 16 Congressional districts, 4.2 candidates filed per district. In 2018, 5.1 candidates filed.

The total number of candidates who ran for the U.S. House in 2024 was also higher than any other year this decade besides 2018, when 82 candidates ran. 

Two districts—the 2nd and the 6th—were open, meaning no incumbents filed to run. That was more than in 2022, when only one district was open, and 2020, when none were.

Rep. Bill Johnson (R), the incumbent in the 6th District, resigned on Jan. 21 to assume the presidency of Youngstown State University. A special election to fill Johnson’s seat took place place on June 11.

Rep. Brad Wenstrup (R), the incumbent in the 2nd district, retired from public office. Eleven candidates—one Democrat and 10 Republicans—ran to replace Wenstrup, the most candidates who ran for a district in 2024.

Fourteen primaries—six Democratic and eight Republican—were contested. That was the fewest contested primaries since 2016, when 10 were. Between 2014 and 2022, an average of 17 primaries were contested.

Three incumbents faced primary challengers, a decade-low. The three incumbents—Reps. Bob Latta (5th), Warren Davidson (8th), and David Joyce (14th)—were Republican.

Democratic and Republican candidates filed to run in all districts, meaning none were guaranteed to either party.

Partisan Voter Index

Heading into the 2024 elections, based on results from the 2020 and 2016 presidential elections, the Cook Partisan Voter Index for this district was R+4. This meant that in those two presidential elections, this district's results were 4 percentage points more Republican than the national average. This made Ohio's 10th the 198th most Republican district nationally.

2020 presidential election results
