Democratic Ohio Rep. Marcy Kaptur released an ad Friday decrying President Joe Biden for allowing China to hurt her state’s solar industry as she faces off against a Trump-backed challenger, according to The New York Times. Kaptur’s ad says Biden is “letting Ohio solar manufacturers be undercut by China,” and she is working with Republican Ohio Sen. Rob Portman to protect jobs. Her general election opponent Republican nominee J.R. Majewski snagged former President Donald Trump’s endorsement in what is considered one of the most competitive congressional races nationwide. The ad claims Majewski is “not happy” and “opposes her All of...

As a Ohioan it has come to my attention that John "the boner" Boehner is being challenged in the up coming primary election. His challenger is a conservative by the name of Eric Gurr. Mr. Gurr has stated that he supports the Tea Party`s stance on limited Constitutional Government. In light of the past and current legislative actions of Old` "Boner", you may consider looking his challenger over and possibly supporting him.

Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz might want to consider heading back down to South Florida to defend her congressional seat if she’s hoping to get re-elected. Karen Harrington, Wasserman Schultz’ Republican opponent has just released an internal poll she commissioned that has her well within striking distance of Wasserman Schultz. The Gravis Strategies poll of 385 likely voters in the Democrat-leaning 23rd congressional district in Florida has Harrington a mere 4.5% points behind Wasserman Schultz- within the 5% margin of error. The D+11 congressional district is in a traditional South Florida Democratic stronghold, but Republicans and Independents combined outnumber Democrats. In...

At this point, the day before the mid-term elections, the political future of U.S. Congressman Bill Jefferson (D-New Orleans) is very much in question. Jefferson has served for 16 years, eight terms, and has cruised to victory each time with little or no opposition. However, after becoming the target of a wide ranging federal investigation involving potentially serious charges of bribery, Jefferson is in the race of his life. The incumbent faces 12 challengers, four that are considered serious. At the start of the campaign, Jefferson enjoyed a sizable lead in the polls; however, as the race progressed, and State...

Sugar Land Mayor David Wallace will be a write-in candidate for the seat House Majority Leader Tom DeLay abandoned, according to a member of Wallace's campaign team. Wallace made the decision after DeLay announced Tuesday that he would withdraw his name from the November ballot, leaving the Republican slot blank and opening up the race to a GOP write-in candidate. The state Republican Party lost its legal battle to replace DeLay with another candidate of its choosing earlier this week. Anyone can run as a write-in candidate. But the state Republican Party says it will back a single campaign. "Republicans...

…Poe currently has the advantage in the District 2 race, Gonzales said, not only because the district leans Republican but also because President George Bush will be at the top of the Republican ticket. “President Bush is going to be popular and win this district by a comfortable margin,” Gonzales said. “It’s going to be difficult for Lampson to convince a large number of Bush voters to turn around and vote for a Democrat for Congress — not impossible, but it’s tough.” To win, Lampson needs to show voters that he is independent of the national Democratic Party and can...

Republicans have represented Washington's 8th District in Congress since the suburban enclave's inception in 1982, but Democrats think they could win the suddenly open seat under the right circumstances. State Republican Party Chairman Chris Vance reluctantly agrees. "The 8th is a natural Republican district. But if we pick the wrong Republican (as the district's nominee), we lose the 8th District," Vance said yesterday, three days after U.S. Rep. Jennifer Dunn announced her retirement, setting off a stampede of potential candidates to succeed her. Nonetheless, the list of well-known Republicans considering the race was far longer than the list of well-known...
