The following statement can be attributed to Representative Mark Romanchuk:

“I have had the opportunity to hear from many of the candidates in this race for Congress over the past several months and I believe Troy Balderson is the best suited and most qualified candidate to represent Richland County in the United States House of Representatives. As a businessman and a legislator, he understands the needs of all counties of this district, is a man of his word, and has the conservative grit to get things done in Washington. I hope the people of Richland County will support Troy Balderson for Ohio’s 12^th Congressional District in May.”
 

The following statement can be attributed to State Senator Troy Balderson:

“Mark Romanchuk’s extensive experience in business and as a former U.S. official during the Reagan Administration gives him incredible insight into the needs of our state and nation. For thirty years, he has been a small business owner and manufacturer, which is exactly the kind of dedicated, business-oriented leader that we continue to need in elected office. I am incredibly humbled to receive Mark's endorsement and look forward to continue working with him throughout the campaign.”
