LIMA - A new challenger is rising in hopes of unseating Congressman Jim Jordan in Ohio s 4th Congressional District in 2022.
To beat Jordan, Jeffrey Sites is going to need resources, and his campaign is reporting it raised $380,000 in first-quarter campaign funds in his bid to unseat the Republican incumbent in the heavily GOP district. There s not a specific benchmark. We just want to make sure we ve got the resources to get our message out there. I m under no illusion that defeating Jim Jordan will be easy, but he has a long record of putting his political career ahead of the needs of this district, Sites told the News-Messenger Tuesday. He s sold out farmers, he s sold out seniors and working folks. I believe if we put in the time and money and effort to reach out to folks of every political stripe about how he s failed us, we can hold him accountable and elect a real voice for working families.

‘I could not let my country go on this way’: Sites to challenge Jordan for Ohio’s Fourth after Capitol insurrection

Jeffrey Sites
LIMA Jeff Sites, a 1985 graduate of Bath High School, is making another bid for Ohio’s Fourth District congressional seat, announcing his campaign to unseat U.S. Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Urbana, weeks after Jordan voted to exclude Pennsylvania and Arizona’s electoral college votes from certification.
Sites references that vote and the Jan. 6 attempted insurrection at the Capitol as his motivation to take another shot to oust Jordan, who has represented the Fourth District since 2007 and remains one of former President Donald Trump’s top defenders in Congress.

WASHINGTON, D. C - The Jan. 6 riot where hundreds of Donald Trump’s supporters invaded the U.S. Capitol and disrupted the count of electoral votes that determined Joe Biden’s presidential victory made Lima warehouse manager Jeffrey Sites decide to make his second run for Congress against Champaign County Republican Rep. Jim Jordan.
Sites, who came in second in last year’s Democratic congressional primary with 29% of the vote, said he believes Jordan bears a measure of responsibility for the “insurrection” where four rioters and a police officer died because “he’s done nothing but parroted everything that Trump has had to say” for the better part of four years, and led other Republicans on the House of Representatives floor in questioning election results that were upheld in court.

National Review critic-at-large Kyle Smith is facing blowback online for a harsh review of incoming First Lady Dr. Jill Biden’s dissertation.
Piggybacking off discourse from last weekend about her use of the “Dr.” honorific, Smith called Biden’s dissertation “garbage” and argued it “is not an addition to the sum total of human knowledge.”
Smith’s Wednesday post immediately elicited angry responses.
