From Fox News: Eric Conroy, a U.S. Air Force veteran and former CIA case officer, announced his campaign to represent Ohio’s 1st Congressional District in the U.S. House of Representatives on Thursday.
Speaking with Fox News Digital ahead of his announcement, the Cincinnati native said southwest Ohio deserves a “common-sense advocate” in Washington, D.C., who can help the city reach its full potential.
Conroy criticized incumbent Democratic Rep. Greg Landsman as “anything but” that common-sense decision maker for Ohioans, tying Landsman’s policy record to President Joe Biden’s progressive agenda.
“This is decision-making more along the lines of an AOC or a Nancy Pelosi and not someone from Southwest Ohio,” Conroy said of the second-term Democrat.
Conroy is seeking to flip the seat currently occupied by Landsman, who was elected in November 2022.
Conroy posted his first campaign video on X Thursday, and announced, “I’m running for Congress in #OH01 because I’ve seen the threats we face abroad and the struggles families face here at home. It’s time for new leadership that will restore common sense and fight to ensure the American Dream remains within reach for every Ohioan.”

In a video interview with Fox News Digital, Conroy said he was in junior high when the Twin Towers fell during the 9/11 terror attack, and this event moved him to later join the Air Force.
