I also dream of an effort in congress to keep an establishment republican out of the speaker's chair.
Please, PLEASE, beat Boehner on 5/6/2014. I wish I lived in your district. How can folks outside of OH help your campaign???
Good luck to Mr Gurr. A primaried Boehner would effectively kill the Liberal PhonyCon wing of the GOP
Gonna bust up the piggy bank for this race
I wish you the best of luck in this race.
I simply must ask you though, at one time you stated you were more of a ‘moderate GOP’ guy, has that changed?
Thanks in advance.
I'll bet they'd go twisty in a hurry if someone suggested allowing 11 million green card applications and then cutting it off completely.
Imagine [for starters] how our lives might change if all bills brought to the floor had to include the names of the actual authors in addition to sponsors.

Well, it is winter in Ohio. Not much chance to get a tan. I guess I do look a bit pale.
I wish you well and I hope you unseat Boehner.
I don’t live in Ohio, but, seriously,, you are the answer to many prayers!
Sadly, people in Cincinnati won’t give him a chance.
All four of these aren’t just quislings, they are open enemies of the Constitution.
This winter especially (global warming appears to be bringing us another snowstorm tonight). Glad to see a viable alternative to Boehner - the last person I saw suggesting he would take Boehner on had very little life experience - it appears you have done very well and can speak to the issues with credibility.
I currently live in Liberty Township so will look forward to learning more about your campaign and progress - very tough taking on not only a sitting congressman but the Speaker of the House. I was the first intern for a Congressman who eventually became the chairman of the House Ways and Means committee, and while my career took a different path I have continued to follow politics and have been very disappointed with some of the more recent actions by our Congressman.
Best wishes on your campaign.
It sounds as if you are in Ohio. Does Ohio have run-off elections if no one receives 50%? If not, it sure won’t help if multiple challengers run against Boner.
I am in Ohio, in Boehner’s district. I have never heard of a run-off election, so if there are more than two actually on the ballot and one fails to gain a majority, the one with a plurality will “win” and be the candidate in the general election.
When it comes time for the election, any opposition candidates best decide which among them has the best chance and the others drop out. I personally don’t see any of the others who have announced having a chance against Boehner, and its definitely a long shot. What will be interesting is if Democrats cross over as their candidate has no chance in this district - they could come over if there was a viable candidate just to knock Boehner out at the primary level - not recognizing that they may just get what they “asked for” - a real conservative.
How susceptible is your district to a D win if the Dems use their patented “Tea Party war on women, fund a libertarian to bleed R votes” in the November election?
While never say never, I don’t think there is anywhere enough support for a Democrat to ever win here. Their highest result since 2000, 36% in 2006, is not likely to happen again. After only getting 30% in 2008, the D’s didn’t even run someone in 2012.
Very good, thanks!
Runoffs are only in TX, OK, AR, LA, MS, AL, GA, and SC, and possibly NC if no one gets over 40 percent in the first round.
