SHOCKER! Rep. Balderson literally ran away from me, as he does around most people old enough to vote. But last night wasn't about him. I came to meet voters and pet all the dogs.

Who's up for a 2-hour drive?! On my way to the Holmes County Antique Festival. You know a little rain never stops me from showing up.

When I say I want a better world and more opportunities for everyone, that includes the disability community. No one should feel forgotten, ignored, or devalued by our government because of their disability.

THANK YOU to everyone who came to the town hall in Lancaster today! I was thrilled to see a packed room and so many new faces. Let's do it again in Mount Vernon on Thursday.

There are people who've been waiting 8 years for a reply from my opponent. That is not representation. That is not good leadership. It is cowardice. I will never be afraid to talk to you.

I know we always say "this is the most important election," but this time the U.S. government is about to start live-streaming public executions, so...

If you believe yourself unqualified to run for office, just look at the people we have in those seats now.

Meet Ryan, a dad and full-time worker who struggles to pay his family's bills but uses his spare time to help those affected by the historic floods two months ago. The people who have the least to offer shouldn't feel like they're the ones doing the most to help.

If America had more politicians like this, imagine the world we could live in. This gives me hope that not all is lost. Make sure you elect this guy, and all the other people like him. True power is understanding what is different, not hating it because it’s different.

I spent last night at the United Church of Granville with my friends at Vote Common Good. These guys are traveling the country teaching folks how to overcome political division in their families and communities so we can focus on finding solutions and building a better world.

We're nearly 3 weeks away from the election and I'm not stopping until it's here! Come knock doors, attend a town hall, or join me at a local meeting to fight against data centers and advocate for a safer future for Ohio.

We must end all U.S. aid to Israel until it has proven itself a government that can co-exist with its neighbors in the Middle East and aim for peace instead of power. My full statement on the third anniversary of October 7th:

On top, Gaza before the so-called war. On the bottom, Gaza this year, courtesy of Google Earth...Three years ago today, Hamas carried out an unforgettable and unforgivable terrorist attack in Israel that left over 1,200 people (civilians and soldiers) dead, and 251 held hostage.

It is a tragedy we must never forget. We must also understand the context of the days before and the tens of thousands of deaths that have followed.

Multiple outlets - both U.S. and international - have confirmed that the Israeli government had warnings October 7th was coming in advance. Some reports claim they had weeks to prevent this kind of attack and defend themselves.

Every country has a right to defend itself. They do not have a right to do so with our tax dollars. They do not have a right to kill thousands of women and children and call it self-defense.

Approximately 6,000 Palestinians entered Israel on October 7th, about two thirds were suspected members of Hamas. Over 74,000 Palestinians have been killed since. Homes, schools, hospitals, businesses, and basic utilities across the Gaza Strip are decimated while Israel stands strong.

There’s still more death and destruction to come.
This week, Israel announced that they've annihilated around 4,000 of those 6,000 invaders. That means the vast majority of the men, women, and children killed in Gaza these past three years were not responsible for the attack.

And on the opposite side, less than 1,000 Israeli citizens and service members have died since October 8, 2023.

It goes without saying that the more than 64,000 kids who've been murdered or injured in Israel’s genocide were not terrorists.

Shooting and bombing tens of thousands of civilians, some of them in bread lines, is not self-defense. Pointing civilians to “evacuation zones” then killing them when they arrive, is not self-defense.

I want to make clear that I believe antisemitism is a real problem the Jewish people face globally. Violence and discrimination against any group of people for existing is unacceptable, period.

But it is not antisemitic to criticize the actions of the Israeli government.

I do not blame the Jewish people for Israel murdering 35x more people than Hamas has in these three years.I do not blame the Jewish people for Israel extending their attacks into Yemen and Lebanon.

I blame the Israeli government, and I blame our own government for aiding and abetting Israel's crimes.

The attack on October 7, 2023, will always be remembered. Most of those accused of committing it are dead, as are approximately 74,000 other Gazans. Doctors. Nurses. Teachers. Journalists. Aid workers. Parents, grandparents, sons, and daughters. 

I hope we'll remember them, too, and never again let our own country have so much blood on its hands.

We can start by ending all U.S. aid to Israel until it has proven itself a government that can co-exist with its neighbors in the Middle East and aim for peace instead of power.

Alongside that, we must enforce a permanent ceasefire, provide humanitarian aid to Gaza, and ban ALL foreign lobbying groups like AIPAC. No foreign nation should have financial influence over our government or politicians like my opponent.

Hi, I'm Jerrad Christian, and this is your (really big) sign to VOTE EARLY for the guy who doesn't want a data center in your backyard.

@maddow.bsky.social Could you air this story? Jerrad Christian is the real deal. He doesn’t accept PAC money.

This district outside Columbus is definitely the type of district that could go to Democrats in an environment such as this year's.

@jerradchristian.bsky.socialOct 7, 2026, 12:59 PM

Eight candidates. Not a single Republican showed up. (And yes, Troy was invited.)

@jerradchristian.bsky.socialOct 7, 2026, 12:42 PM

Actions speak louder than words. If your elected officials avoid talking to you, then they don't care about you or your needs. And without real representation, you are powerless. Vote them out. It's that simple.

@jerradchristian.bsky.socialOct 6, 2026, 12:42 PM

Maybe streaming services. TV is expensive and no corporate PAC money over here.

🚨 This Ohio Republican is friends with his GOP congressman. He's knocking on doors, writing to local papers, and going on camera to get him out of Washington.

Mark your calendars, Fairfield and Knox! Your statehouse candidates are joining me for events, and we're ready to take your questions.
