My opponent chairs the House Committee on Energy and Telecommunications and plays an integral role in every federal law that has allowed data centers to come into our area without local control. This must end, and the power must be returned to the people. Vote Shaver for OH-5 on November 3!

Each name opens the page’s Vipima page, with its own figures and its link to Meta’s Ad Library.
Figures cover domestic political ads paid in dollars, from 4 May 2026. Spend is the sum of Meta’s range midpoints; impressions above one million are reported as “1M+”, so impression figures are floors. Each ad counts in the week its delivery started, with its lifetime spend at our last pull; ads still running before the vote are counted as of 31 October 2026.
