US House of Representatives Race, 12th District: Pat Tiberi

Sitting Congressman Pat Tiberi is standing for reelection this year.  A Republican from Columbus, Tiberi graduated from OSU in 1985.  He's been a realtor, a Congressional aid for John Kasich, a member of the Ohio House of Representatives from 1992-2000, and also the House Majority Leader while serving in that office.  He's been in the US Congress since 2001.  Tiberi is married, with four young daughters.  You can read more at Project Vote Smart and Tiberi's campaign site.

As with many career politicians, Tiberi refused to answer Project Vote Smart's issue survey, leaving the staff and volunteers to compile a list of inferred positions on hot-button issues such as abortion and gun control.  Tiberi's voting record can be found here, also courtesy of Vote Smart.  Browsing through, it appears Tiberi has opposed spending money, supported defense, been pro-life and anti-gay.

Tiberi hasn't posted his opinions on many issues, but emphasizes his work for older Americans and his lack of budget earmarks in the last three years in his biography.

Tiberi has acquired several endorsements, including Ohio and National Right to Life, the NRA, United Transportation Union, and the Ohio Society of CPAs.

Read more about Tiberi at his website and at Project Vote Smart.
