Padgett is looking to replace embattled Bob Ney as the Representative for Ohio’s 18th district in Washington D.C.
Padgett has been a strong leader in the Ohio Senate, fighting to pass a good HB347. While it’s always sad to lose a strong friend to another job, we all understand how important it is to send good people to Washington. Padgett is the kind of person we would love to keep in Ohio, but who we need to send to D.C.
Padgett has been endorsed by Buckeye Firearms Association for the November 7 general election. Her proven leadership on our issues and personal convictions will be an asset to all law-abiding citizens.
