Don Leonard admitted he'd lie to voters to get their support. If you can't trust his word, how can you trust him in Congress? Ohio deserves better. Mike Carey is fighting to lower costs, protect families, and put Ohio first. Trust matters. Mike Carey has earned ours.

Don Leonard said it himself: “I would lie to the people of my district in order to get their votes.” Ohio voters can hear his words for themselves - including what he says about Bernie Sanders, AOC, and his plans for the Democratic Party.

No better way to spend a fall morning than breakfast at the Wigwam with State Senator Michelle Reynolds, Mayor Joe Steager, and the hardworking men and women who make Canal Winchester one of the best towns in all of America.

I’m honored to have the Fraternal Order of Police’s endorsement once again. Our law enforcement officers put their lives on the line to keep Ohio families safe, and I’m proud to stand with them in Congress. I’ll always fight to ensure they have the support and resources they need to do their jobs and keep our communities safe.

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.
