In Their Words
What they have said, on the record
“For 25 years I sat behind a microphone and took live calls from the people of this district with no script, no staff to interrupt and no part committee to hide behind. I have spent more hours answering hard questions from Northeast Ohio voters than Emilia Sykes has spent in this district all year. The idea that I am afraid to stand on a stage with her is, frankly, a punchline.”
“Voters in this district are not interested in a candidate who governs through press releases and cable news hits. They want someone who will look them in the eye and answer the question. I have done that for 30 years. I will do it on a debate stage three times this fall. The question is whether the Congresswoman has the same confidence in her own record.”
“I'm honored and humbled to officially be your Republican nominee for Congress in Ohio's 13th District. This victory belongs to every volunteer, supporter, and voter who believes Northeast Ohio deserves strong leadership and real results. Now we take this fight to November and together, we're going to win. Let's get to work.”
“And I want them to believe that when they go to work that it's not going to be a hostile environment from city council or the mayorship, that they have a place where they're respected and they're allowed to do their job.”
“and I want them fully funded and fully staffed”
“We need a business friendly environment right here in Ohio to bring some of that investment here. You need a pitch person, somebody who can actually advocate for that; and that means somebody that is not pining for more regulations and more taxes.”

“generally speaking, try to keep taxes under control so working families have more of what they earn”
“Carey is running for Congress because Washington has lost touch with the people it serves. Rising costs, insecure borders, government overreach, and endless political games have made it harder for families to get ahead.”
