Open to learn more about me, my story, and why I’m running for Congress

Craig Swartz is an Ohio native and former Upper Sandusky City Councilmember running for U.S. Congress for Ohio’s 5th District. Ready to bring Ohio back to a better future, Craig is resolved to unseat Bob Latta and advocate for workers, women, the LGBTQ+ community, students, and everyday Ohioans.

Hi John,

I thought I’d take a few minutes and let you know a little more about me, my life, and why I’m running to represent OH-05 in Congress.

I was born and raised right here in Ohio. I grew up in a suburb outside of Cleveland and attended The Ohio State University. After traveling and working in Europe for a few years after college, I moved back to Ohio to help run my family’s fast food business. Then, I met my wife, Camille.

We got married in 1985, moved to London, and had our son Connor in 1991. It was a busy few years. After working in Bahrain for an investment bank, specializing in international tax and corporate governance, we moved to Upper Sandusky in 2000. It was a difficult decision, but we knew we needed to find top-notch care for our son Connor, who is on the Autism spectrum.

Although I missed working abroad, it felt amazing to be back in Ohio, to be back home.

While I worked in banking for a decade, my intrinsic passion has always been politics, starting in high school, when I led a student revolt against the student government over a disagreement about prom. Imagine, getting an entire group of seniors to band together over one issue. That was a little tricky.

After we settled in Sandusky, I held a variety of jobs. I owned a restaurant, drove long-haul freight trucks across the U.S., worked the second shift as a forklift operator, published a novel, and volunteered with the Special Olympics. Oh, and I was elected to the Upper Sandusky City Council.

I know, that’s a lot of different jobs. But, the variety taught me something more leaders need to learn: the value of active listening and empathy. I experienced the work firsthand and could bond with my colleagues and neighbors.

Now, I’m running for U.S. Congress because I’m sick of the Republicans promoting their self-serving agendas while Ohioans suffer. I’m ready to bring Ohio back to its future and forge ahead.

*If you’re ready for a progressive leader like me, who will demand fair wages, improved infrastructure, quality public education, LGBTQIA+ rights, reproductive healthcare, and so much more, chip into my campaign so we can make this a reality.* ( [link removed] )
