On January 10th, State Representative Craig Riedel announced his candidacy for the 9th Congressional District. The district spans across Northwest Ohio and covers Defiance, Erie, Fulton, Henry, Lucas, Ottawa, Sandusky, Williams, and Wood Counties.
“After a great deal of thought, prayer, and support from family and friends, I have decided to seek the Republican nomination for Congress in Ohio’s 9th district.” Riedel said: “I am sick of career politicians making promises, failing to deliver, then passing the buck. Marcy Kaptur does not share the values of the voters in Northwest Ohio and it is past time for her 53-year political career to end.”
As a state representative, Craig has always stood up for the principles he believes in: limited government, fiscal responsibility, family values, and the American Dream. In Congress, he’ll join the Freedom Caucus to fight with conservative stalwarts to promote an America-first agenda. He will be a leading voice to protect life, defend the second amendment, secure the southern border, and ensure election integrity.
“Joe Biden, and radical Democrats like Marcy Kaptur and Nancy Pelosi are dragging America in the wrong direction. I am running for Congress to work hard and deliver results for the people of Northwest Ohio. I will be a leading voice for a conservative agenda that will make Ohio and America stronger, safer, and more prosperous than ever before. I will stand up to the corrupt political insiders, defeat Marcy Kaptur, and stop the radical Biden agenda.”
