Listen to Dr. Johnston's Exciting Online Debate with His Republican Opponent
Dr. Johnston's Opponent Thinks the Ohio State Legislature Should Not Ban Abortion and That the Rights of Ohio Concealed Carriers Should Be Restricted
You now have the exciting opportunity to listen online to Dr. Patrick Johnston and Troy Balderson, the 94th Ohio District Republican candidates for State Representative, field questions from the editorial boards of the Coshocton Tribune and the Zanesville Times Recorder.
Troy Balderson has declared that that he was "100% pro-life"; but in political campaigns, too often words are used to appeal to a constituent group, not to demonstrate any sincere belief or intention. So when a candidate admits that he is pro-life, we must always ask, "What do you mean by that?" When finally forced to elaborate on his position, Troy Balderson informs us that, although he is personally "pro-life," he would not protect the preborn in Ohio if he is elected to the legislature After all, Mr. Balderson claims an abortion ban would not prevent "back alley abortions."
Mr. Balderson also claims that he will "protect and defend our second amendment rights." However, if you will listen to the debate online you will hear Mr. Balderson argue for restrictions on law-abiding gun owners in Ohio.
Dr. Johnston has received some notable endorsements in recent weeks. He has received the coveted endorsement of Ohioans for Concealed Carry because of his unwavering commitment to our right to keep and bear arms. Click here to read their endorsement.
Dr. Johnston has received the important endorsement of both local "Right to Life" leaders in his district as well as the director of the local Crisis Pregnancy Center, The President of Pharmacists for Life International, and American Right to Life.

On our campaign website, you can listen to a speech by the President of Muskingum Valley Right to Life President Mike Musselman in which he endorsed Patrick Johnston's campaign.
The online interview between Dr. Johnston and Mr. Balderson is a perfect example of how you have to look past the candidate's sound bites and investigate his experience and what he actually intends to do if elected. Dr. Johnston brings strong conservative leadership to the Republican ballot on March 4, with a long track record of defending the preborn and fighting for lower taxes and more responsible state spending.
The Editorial Boards and Managing Editor Len LaCara did an excellent job asking difficult questions, and the candidates' answers really demonstrate to voters the differences between the two candidates. They asked questions related to several critical subjects, such as whether abortion should remain legal, whether exceptions should be made for rape victims, whether there was any problem with public education and how to best fund it, on the death penalty, and on the right to keep and bear arms in restaurants and churches. On the key points on which they disagree, it is Mr. Balderson who departs from principled conservativism and the principles of life and liberty ingrained in our nation's founding documents.

Dr. Johnston remains dedicated to bringing the Republican Party and the state of Ohio back to the principles of life and liberty, back to the ideals ingrained within the Constitution and the Republican Party platform. He remains committed to defying the unconstitutional and immoral Roe v. Wade decision and protecting the preborn statewide in Ohio. Dr. Johnston may remain the best remedy for what's ailing the Republican Party in Ohio with their growing detachment from grassroots conservatives. His candidacy is a test on whether the voters of his district will prefer experienced leadership over "good ole' boy politics", a committed pro-life ethic over unproven, contradictory rhetoric, protecting the right to keep and bear arms versus restricting the rights of law-abiding gun owners, and improving the cost and the outcomes of our educational system over preserving the failing status quo.
