Endorsements
Ted Lieu (D) CA-36
I am pleased to endorse Jerrad Christian for Congress in Ohio's 12th District. Jerrad's service in the U.S. Navy, combined with his firsthand experience growing up with economic hardship, gives him unique insights into the challenges so many Americans face. His experience as a meteorologist and oceanographer will help in the battle with climate change; which is one of the most important undertakings of this century. His experience as a technologist in the area of software engineering will add much needed experience to a Congress facing new threats in a more digital world. His dedication to these critical issues, along with his ability to overcome adversity, makes him an ideal candidate for Congress and a representative of the good people of Ohio’s 12th District.
