(b. Feb 17, 1964) Popular conservative (R) America First Patriot for the people of Ohio’s 4th Congressional District in the House of Representatives. As endorsed by President Trump: “Jim is Strong on Crime, the Border, our Military, great Vets, and will save our seriously under-siege Second Amendment. He debunked the Russia, Russia, Russia Scam, the Ukraine, Ukraine, Ukraine made-up phone call, Impeachment Hoax #1, Impeachment Hoax #2, and the Mueller Report, which strongly stated “no collusion.” Jim will continue to hold the Radical Left accountable for their colossal incompetence and danger to our Country. He is a fierce advocate of our Make America Great Again agenda, and I was proud to award him our Country’s highest civilian honor, the Presidential Medal of Freedom.”1Unfortunately, Jim disappointed true patriots by vowing to back RINO Kevin McCarthy for House Speaker in 2022.
