A Steelworker’s Personal Fight To Beat John Boehner In 2014

While the President is elected every 4 years, and a Senator every 6, members of the House of Representatives are up for elections every two years. Which means every two years, every member of Congress must face off against whatever challenger happens to be running against them. John Boehner has been safe in his seat for many years, without a strong challenger running against him, and always enjoyed double-digit leads over any challenger, never getting under 60% of the vote. Many times, the Democratic Party did not even bother running a candidate against Congressman Boehner.

However, in 2014, times are changing.

Meet Andrew Hounshell, an Army Veteran, steelworker, father, husband. Here he is with Ohio Senator, Sherrod Brown:

Things was much better for those in our class under Democrat leadership and until we can return Democrats to a majority there will be dumb TP holding a gun to our heads. We need a speaker that can lead and not fall on his knees to the TP bunch.
