Additional comment from candidate:

I am one of the few who walk the talk when it comes to supporting conservative legislation. Whether it is eliminating Common Core, Medicaid expansion, or excessive taxes and spending, I have the track record to prove it. Additionally, my support for innocent human life, gun rights, and religious freedom is unwavering. The Cincinnati Enquirer said that, “Becker...is arguably the most conservative member of the Ohio House” (January 2014). “GOP Ohio House freshman Becker is no shrinking violet,” headlined the Columbus Dispatch (December 2014). And, most recently, Citizens for Community Values honored me with the prestigious William Wilberforce Leadership Award (April 2015). Being a principled conservative is what earned me that reputation and those accolades. I didn’t go to Columbus to spend your money faster than you can earn it. I went to Columbus to defend, support, and promote your conservative values. That is what I do. I am the candidate who is vetted, tested, and proven.
