Campaign for U.S. House of Representatives

On March 24, 2009, The FEC accepted forms 1 and 2 from David Ryon indicating his intent to run for Congress in the 15th congressional district of Ohio.

David has received the endorsements of the Constitution Party of Ohio, National Veterans Coalition, and Don Eckhart, former 2008 Pro-Life candidate for U.S. Congress in Ohio's 15th Congressional District. Here is a copy of Don Eckhart's endorsement:

I endorse David Ryon as the Constitution Party candidate for the 15th Congressional District in the May 4th primary election. David served with honor in our country's military and will serve with equal honor in the United States Congress.

David upholds conservative values and will work to restore our nation's treasured foundational principles. He is a solid pro-life supporter and can be counted on to be a strong voice in Washington, D.C.

David Ryon has been open with his views and agreed to participate in a public debate. In contrast, his opponent Chris Macisco did not agree to participate in the debate. I know these facts first-hand since I was the debate organizer.

I hardily endorse David Ryon for the May 4 primary election.
