JIM RENACCI FOR CONGRESS CAMPAIGN LAUNCHES FIRST TELEVISION AD
Canton, OH—Today, the Jim Renacci for congress campaign launched its first television
ad, highlighting Jim’s proven record as a job creator in the 16
th district and his decades of commitment to both his community and his family. As the ad points out, Jim Renacci is running for congress to serve as a voice for common sense conservatism in Washington and to implement the pro-growth, fiscally responsible ideals that have guided his life as a business leader, a Mayor and a family man.
“At a time when northeast Ohio is desperate for jobs and voters are anxious for new, fiscally responsible leadership in Washington, Jim Renacci stands out as the only candidate in the race who has not only created 1,500 new jobs in the region but who has also proven his ability to bring common sense conservatism to government. As a small business owner, Jim Renacci grew a business from the ground up and understands what it takes to balance a budget, meet a payroll and tackle the issues that employers and employees face every day throughout America. As a Mayor, he brought fiscal responsibility to government, balancing the city’s $80 million budget and converting its deficit into a surplus, without raising taxes. Jim has dedicated his entire adult life to serving and growing his community, and he’s ready to serve as the new voice for the 16th district in Washington,” Renacci’s spokesman James Slepian said.
In addition to creating over 1,500 new jobs in the region, Jim Renacci has employed more than 2,500 Ohioans over the course of his career. As a cornerstone of his campaign for congress, Jim Renacci is committed to reining in government spending and promoting policies that will foster job growth in the 16th district and across the country. In the past 14 months alone, the unemployment rate in the 16th district has nearly doubled, and now exceeds 14% in some areas.
