The Lima/Allen County Chamber of Commerce and The League of Women Voters hosted a “Meet the Candidates” reception this evening so voters could better familiarize themselves with the candidates. There are three Democratic primary candidates that are on the ballot on March 17th to challenge the incumbent Jim Jordan for the 4th Congressional District seat in the US House of Representatives. The candidates spoke to us about what they would bring to the district as a Representative.

A man is campaigning to be the next congressman and is traveling across the state to earn your vote. Democratic candidate Mike Larsen is an Emmy-nominated writer and producer, a file member of four unions and served as the senior advisor to Congresswoman Jackie Speier. He is one of three other Democratic candidates looking to run against Congressman Jim Jordan. If elected, he plans to fight for broadband internet in rural areas, available healthcare for everyone, and removal of battlefield weapons off the street. He says he is the best fit for this position because of his experience and his availability.
