Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

Rob Weber was born and raised in Northeast Ohio. He was blessed to have attended church-based schooling; where he developed and internalized a faith, moral, ethical, and devotion to service foundation; culminating in graduating from Walsh Jesuit High School. Rob was selected to attend and graduated from the U.S. Military Academy at West Point where he majored in Environmental Engineering. Upon graduating from West Point, he served on active duty in the Army for five additional years as an Armor (tanks) officer attaining the rank of Captain. Additionally, Rob earned a M.B.A. from the University of Louisville. After leaving active military service, Rob came back home to Ohio to attend the Ohio State University Moritz College of Law. Upon graduating, he practiced law for 17 years working exclusively as a trial lawyer helping individual people in their times of need. He has extensive jury trial experience with over 40 trials and has handled numerous high stakes multi-million dollar catastrophic loss claims. Rob has dedicated his entire life to serving and helping other people: first through his leadership as an officer in the U.S. Army and then through his passionate advocacy for people in the legal system. For the last two years, Rob has followed his calling of serving a much larger Ohio-based community by devoting his full-time efforts in the arena of political leadership.

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?

• I support the President.
• Staunch Defender of the 1st and 2nd Amendments
• Dedicated Voice for the underserved

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

I like small government, and especially as expressed in our Constitution which is really an elegant solution if we would just follow it. The idea to give the citizens themselves the responsibility for self governance but with an overarching set of principles in our Bill of Rights to prevent any cities, towns, or states from deciding to take away these sacred rights.

I was born in a country founded on principles of Fairness, Equality and Justice. I was brought up understanding that things of value are not easily obtained, and that staying silent in the face of injustice has never provided long term solutions. The silence of the world in the face of injustice only serves to undermine our own liberties.

Note: Ballotpedia reserves the right to edit Candidate Connection survey responses. Any edits made by Ballotpedia will be clearly marked with [brackets] for the public. If the candidate disagrees with an edit, he or she may request the full removal of the survey response from Ballotpedia.org. Ballotpedia does not edit or correct typographical errors unless the candidate's campaign requests it.
