15:36Now PlayingOhio’s 12th District is represented by what can be best described as a bowl of Jello. Troy Balderson has been an elected official for over 16 years but good luck finding any appearances, videos, or news. He runs as a Republican and gets re-elected while trying to make as little noise as possible. This time he has competition from a Navy veteran with a plan. Jarrad Christian grew up in Ohia and has family in Springfield where the outrageous lies of Donald Trump and J.D. Vance have caused chaos. Jerad grew up in poverty in the Appalachian region of Ohio, in a small town called Glouster, often facing food and housing insecurity. Seeking adventure and experience he joined the US Navy, serving as a flight deck fueler and later as a meteorologist and oceanographer during Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom. After completing his service, he worked as a janitor to support his family and saved to go to a tech school. He now works as a software engineer. His time in the Navy made him a strong advocate for reducing oil dependence, and his experiences with poverty taught him invaluable skills. Now, Jerad is running for office in Ohio’s 12th Congressional district, aiming to bring real change and integrity to his largely rural community, driven by a desire to counteract divisive rhetoric and help build a better world.
