J.D. Vance Launches Contradiction-Filled Campaign in Ohio Roger Sollenberger
Venture capital executive and
Hillbilly Elegy author J.D. Vance on Thursday officially announced his long-anticipated 2022 Senate campaign. He joins a cramped field of pro-Trump conservatives vying for the Ohio seat currently held by Republican Rob Portman, who is retiring after two terms.
“We need people in Washington, D.C., who knows how the system works, who knows how to reform that system and even make this country better,” Vance said. “And that’s why I’m running to be your next U.S. Senator from the state of Ohio.”
