LIMA, OH (WLIO) - Allen County Democrats gathered Monday evening to hear from two candidates running for office. 

Democrat Jeffrey Sites has announced he will be running to represent Ohio's 4th Congressional District. He ran for the position last year, but it was ultimately won by Jim Jordan for an eighth term. Sites says he wasn't planning on running again, but after witnessing the attack on the Capitol earlier this month, he changed his mind. During his campaign this time around, he hopes to learn from last year and fight for three main things.

The event was hosted by St. Marys, New Bremen, and New Knoxville Rotaries and allowed each candidate time to answer a collection of preplanned questions from the public. Jordan is running for what could be his 8th term in the U.S. House of Representatives, while this is Freshour's first.
