Saving our Democratic Republic.

Throwing out of congress the insurrectionists. Free higher education for ALL! Protect Women's Rights. Healthcare4All

Bernie Sanders ... I like his authenticity. Bernie's authenticity comes from saying what he believes and speaking truths. He's not afraid to call himself a democratic socialist.

Ever since Franklin D. Roosevelt pushed for Social Security, Republicans have used the word 'socialism' to scare Americans. Remember that capitalism keeps many of us 'just the working poor'.

I like Bernie because he has endless patience for important things and no patience for Bullshit!

I backed Bernie in 2016 (I ran for congress) when he ran for the Democratic nomination for president helping to open many offices here in Ohio and going to the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia as a member of our Bernie delegation. I took a lot of crap for doing this from Clinton people, but I'm glad I did it.

I like Bernie because he has more guts than any politician I have met.
I have always been a leader. Problem solving, Communication skills, Honesty, Empathy, Accountability, Confidence, and Active listener. You have to be able to be open to all people I plan on focusing on constituency services.
Members of Congress represent the people of their district in the United States Congress by holding hearings, as well as developing and voting on legislation. All bills must pass Congress before they can go to the President to be signed into law.

Roles include representation, legislation, constituency service, oversight and investigation, and advice, personal office management, and electoral activity.

Leave something good for my grandchildren.

Fahrenheit 451

Novel by Ray Bradbury

Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451 was banned several times in an effort to censor the graphic content of the story. Even though the story is about censorship, the novel has also been subject to censorship and banning. I guess to say that I'm against book censorship says it all ... I'm not a BOOK BURNER like so many Republicans.
Jean-Luc Picard ... Captain of the Star Ship Enterprise.
These principles ring out clearly in our Declaration of Independence:

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.

The founders, acting as representatives of the people, constructed a framework of governing institutions atop these principles and authorized them to exercise the legislative, executive, and judicial powers necessary to govern the country. In doing so, they granted America's political institutions the ability to act based on the consent of the American people.

The Constitution assigns all federal legislative powers to Congress for a reason: It is where the people's most direct representatives govern. If a member of Congress votes to enact laws of which the member's constituents do not approve, the people can replace the member in the next congressional election.

If we want to return to a government by the people, we need those we elect to Congress to commit to keeping executive agencies on a short leash.

Policy and process are important. And they are deeply intertwined: Policy takes shape within a process, and if the process is a closed one, very few members will see themselves as lawmakers. This can't help but deform not only how they work as members of Congress, but also how they understand the purpose and role of the institution itself.

Increasing the number of members in the House would dilute the influence of special interests on legislation. The more members there are in the House, the more difficult it is for lobbyists to capture a majority of members on any given bill. This would help liberate legislation from the grip of special interests and steer it more forcefully toward the public interest.

The House should have around 600 members.
No! But just how broken is Congress? The institution had been broken for some time, and it remains broken to this day. We need to clean the House.

The defects can be separated into three categories: substantive, procedural, and structural. The substantive problems relate to the atrophying of Congress's legislative power. The procedural problems relate to how the House is run, specifically with respect to how legislation is crafted and how the House calendar deforms the institution's work. The structural problems concern the size of the House.

Women's rights (We now have legal abortion in Ohio).

Gun violence is a top concern.

The affordability of health care and drugs.

Drug Addiction.

Climate change is a very big problem for our country and the world.

Inflation remains a minor concern.

Immigration policy is a very big problem (Remember that Republicans in 2017 would not give Trump the money for his wall.)

Affordable housing.

Free higher education that is not controlled by fascists. (Republicans in Ohio control all Boards at state Universities)

  1. 1 SAVING OUR DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC from FASCISM!
I will be able to tell you more after I serve my first term ...
We need them ... “Term limits will ensure that an entire generation of Americans will not suffer a further loss of their freedoms under a reactionary and partisan Supreme Court, and that no future Senate Leader can stack and steal the Court the way Mitch 'the bitch' McConnell did.”
John Frederick Seiberling, Jr. (September 8, 1918 – August 2, 2008) was a United States representative from Ohio. In 1974, he helped to establish what later became the Cuyahoga Valley National Park, and served on the House Judiciary Committee that held the impeachment hearings against President Richard Nixon. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_F._Seiberling
I ordered a chicken and an egg from Amazon. I'll let you know how that works out ...
Yes! But it will be next to impossible with the 'Freedom Caucus' that is an oxymoron. They want a dictatorship not freedom!

We live in a time when elected officials have become less willing to seek common ground. Some resist the very idea of government and scoff at the principle of compromise. But government is necessary because people need it to resolve their conflicts, and compromise is the tool by which governing officials hammer out such conflict resolution. If we all agreed with each other, we would not need government.

Compromise has been and will remain vital to sustaining our 240-year-long experiment with self-government. It is a process of give and take, of blending and adjusting. It is not consensus, for rarely is consensus possible, and to make consensus the standard makes self-government untenable.

“Mutual respect is necessary for a democracy to function, and denigrating another’s patriotism, misrepresenting an opponent’s positions, and refusing to cooperate even on matters on which there is agreement undermine the relationships needed to resolve differences.”
As housing in the US has become increasingly unaffordable over the past few years, the number of people experiencing homelessness surged to its highest level on record this year. We need to look at this.

Known as a “point-in-time” estimate, the annual snapshot looks at the number of individuals nationwide who are living in shelters, temporary housing and unsheltered settings on one night last January. The report found that more than 650,000 people were experiencing homelessness that night, the most since reporting began in 2007.

Homelessness is solvable and should not exist in the United States.

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.[6]
  • 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.[7][8][9]

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+15. This meant that in those two presidential elections, this district's results were 15 percentage points more Republican than the national average. This made Ohio's 5th the 80th most Republican district nationally.[10]
