News
Carl Setzer is in the news as a candidate in Ohio’s 14th congressional district, where he is one of three Democrats challenging Republican Rep. Dave Joyce. The race is being framed around voter dissatisfaction with Donald Trump, but the district is strongly Republican and has not elected a Democrat since 1995. A separate update on Ohio primaries notes that several congressional contests, including the 5th District, are drawing attention ahead of the 2026 House election.
