Ohio could play a huge role in the National Republican Congressional Committee’s efforts to regain the majority in Congress. Even in the Democratic strongholds of northeast Ohio, we have top-notch candidates mounting vigorous challenges against incumbent partisan politicians like Betty Sutton in OH-13.
Businessman Tom Ganley is prepared to effectively capitalize on voter frustration against Washington in this competitive matchup. Sutton’s record as a Pelosi loyalist shows how out of touch she is with northeast Ohioans who want jobs, not higher taxes and more government spending. Ganley is a businessman who has created over a thousand jobs while running the largest automotive group in Ohio. While Tom plans to apply his experience to facilitate repair the economy, Betty Sutton continues to vote alongside Speaker Pelosi on issues such as the failed stimulus, job-killing trade and trade restrictions legislation, and government takeover of health care.
Sutton won the seat in 2006 when Sherrod Brown decided to run for the U.S. Senate. Since then, he has held the D+5 position in Northeast Ohio without significant challenge. In Ganley, Sutton faces one of the toughest fights in the general election. The district includes parts of Lorain, Cuyahoga, Medina and Summit counties. On the outskirts of Cleveland, OH-13 runs narrowly from north to south, encompassing the cities of Akron, Brunswick, Strongsville, and Lorain.
A recent poll showed that even a blue district like this is within reach, and this is a competitive race, with Ganley leading by three points.
Not only does Ganley create jobs, but he is deeply committed to his community and demonstrated this value by putting his life on the line to facilitate rid Cleveland of the “Mafia.” After repeated blackmail attempts at his company, Tom worked undercover for the FBI for two years and helped put over 20 mobsters in prison.

After helping take down the mafia in his hometown, Ganley certainly isn’t afraid to roll up his sleeves and tackle problems in Washington. His opponent, Betty Sutton, thanks to voting with Speaker Pelosi gains one of the highest partisan rankings in Congress 99.1 percent of cases, which Ganley says is not only antiquated, but also hasn’t put people back to work. Initially, respected political handicapper Charlie Cook considered the seat secure for Democrats, but after Ganley entered, he moved it to the competitive “lean Democrat” category.
