While this was not the outcome we hoped for, I want to thank every voter, volunteer, and supporter who believed in this campaign and gave it everything they had. This race was powered by hardworking people across Northwest Ohio who stepped up, knocked doors, made calls, and fought for a better future for OH-09. I’m incredibly proud of the campaign we ran, reaching every corner of this district, from inner-city Toledo to rural towns like Hicksville. We showed that there is real energy and a real desire for change across OH-09. Thank you to everyone who stood with us and believed in me, a former homeless high school dropout. Your support is proof that the American Dream is still alive and well, and worth fighting for every single day.

Congresswoman @RepLuna , I respect your logic but for those who serve in the military, especially this individual, we hold ourselves to a much higher standard than those in Congress. Congress should not get away with insider trading nor should you hold office forever (ie., term limits). But this service member placed military lives at severe risk with his foolish decisions. He should be and likely will be considered for courts-martial and very severe punishment under the UCMJ—a system of government that is wholly different than what we have in our civilian society. It actually holds people accountable and it is generally very fair. @SecWar @SeanParnellASW

You can’t take our country — and you can’t take our game.

Tricia McLaughlin has been one of the Trump Administration’s strongest fighters at DHS. She has been on the forefront of efforts to deport criminal illegal aliens, secure the border and protect the country from left wing extremists. Thank you @TriciaOhio 🇺🇸
