Issue Position: Campaign Financing

Issue Position

Problem:

I think that our nation's federal policies are governed and controlled by special money interests and lobbyists. When donors give money to politicians, they want something in return, such as tax credits, government contracts and tax reductions.

I believe that politicians, like my Democrat political opponent, Joyce Beatty, seek huge campaign contributions from donors and Political Action Committees (PACs). Once in office, my opponent acts as a "moneychanger" and is controlled by the donors and Political Action Committees (PACs). She then trades votes on legislation in exchange for campaign donations.

Many of my opponent's contributors live outside Ohio's Third Congressional District and many live in other states. Why are those special interest groups sticking their collective noses in our District?

Action:

As for me, I believe that a person elected to Congress should represent the people as a whole, not any special money interests, nor lobbyists.

If elected, I will represent your interests and the interests of the people as a whole, but not any special money interests, nor PACs, nor any lobbyists. I will not be controlled by them. I will be your representative, not a politician.

I will not accept any campaign contributions from special money interests, nor Political Action Committees (PACs). I will not ask you for your money.

I will utilize the financial resources that I have at hand to present my positions and actions for which I stand.

In order to demonstrate to you exactly who my Democrat opponent, Joyce Beatty, really represents, I have published on this web site the special money interest campaign contributors and donors for my opponent.
