In Their Words

What they have said, on the record

“As we celebrate America's 250th anniversary, families are breathing a new air of optimism. I will continue partnering with the President on our historic successes, and I will work in a bipartisan manner to create a more affordable future.”
Carey Applauds American Comeback Championed in President Trump's State of the Union AddressFeb 25, 2026 · Official · carey.house.gov · source
“In just over a year, Republicans are delivering a more affordable future with a stronger low-income housing tax credit, a record high Child Tax Credit, and more money in the pockets of Ohio families. The President was clear that Republicans delivered on our promises of lower taxes, safer communities, and a brighter future for our nation.”
Carey Applauds American Comeback Championed in President Trump's State of the Union AddressFeb 25, 2026 · Official · carey.house.gov · source
“The partisan Obamacare system as is it exists has raised costs for everyone, but I want to give Ohioans certainty as we work to unravel the higher costs Americans face from the failed policies of the past.”
Carey Statement on Unaffordable ACA Subsidy Extension VoteJan 8, 2026 · Official · carey.house.gov · source
“I will continue working with my House colleagues to advance bipartisan proposals that provide more affordable, more accessible health care options directly to the working families of our district.”
Carey Statement on Unaffordable ACA Subsidy Extension VoteJan 8, 2026 · Official · carey.house.gov · source
“I voted today to extend the enhanced tax credits for ACA plans. The cost of health care is still too high because of the failed Obamacare policies that removed choice and raised premiums with punishing government mandates on our working families. Close to 45,000 Ohioans in our district currently have these plans, and I want to make sure that they do not lose access to a plan that they have relied on as Congress continues addressing the high cost of health care.”
