Side note, I'm kicking it up to a 3 day a week schedule: Tuesday, Friday, Sunday. Too many candidates/issues to cover in 2 months otherwise!

Matt Carle is the Republican challenging Nancy Garland for the 20th House District.
A graduate of Westerville North High School and a current resident of Gahanna, Carle graduated from OSU and earned a law degree from Capitol University. He's worked on several campaigns in recent years, including both Mike DeWine's and George Voinovich's Senate campaigns and Betty Montgomery's campaign for Auditor.
Other work Carle is involved with include being the Director of Development and Community Relations for the Ohio College Access Network, and his career as a real estate and zoning lawyer. He is a member of the Columbus Bar Association.
Carle's stances include the standard "Smaller Government/Lower Taxes" found on GOP tickets, claiming his work with OCAN and others gives him a good grasp on where government waste is. He also feels the disparity between urban, suburban, and rural school districts needs to be stopped. His stance on health care is "minimizing the damage that could be caused by national health care reform" while making sure Medicaid is funded. He also has a bullet point about protecting rights and freedoms with the right to bear arms being the only one specifically mentioned.
There's a well set up endorsements page on Carle's webpage, showing endorsements from the FOP, the Right to Life PAC, the Chamber of Commerce PAC, and others.

Ohio House of Representatives, 20th District: Nancy Garland
Nancy Garland is standing for reelection to her seat as the 20th District's Representative. She's in her first term after being elected in 2008.
Some key votes over the past couple years can be found here, courtesy of Project Vote Smart. I find it interesting the only "Nay" vote they list is against the transition fund amendments the senate tried to tack on to a campaign finance bill.
Garland lives in New Albany, and has a son at Ohio State studying political science while participating in Air Force ROTC and a daughter who is a practicing attorney after graduating from Miami University over in Oxford. Before serving in the House of Representatives, Garland spent 7 years as the CEO of the Ohio Physical Therapy Association. She also spent several years in Washington, DC in several positions, from legislative assistant to Director of Government Affairs for the American Physical Therapy Association. Garland is also a clinical assistant professor at Ohio State.
Garland has three main issues listed on her website: Job Growth, Economic Development, and Health Care. She emphasizes partnering with businesses small and large as well as the unemployed workforce to build new jobs, attract new industry, and help keep current organizations healthy and growing. As for healthcare, it's the common line regarding the unacceptable numbers of unemployed Ohioans, and how we need to solve the problem in order to keep the state competitive nation wide.
Many groups have endorsed Garland, including the AFL-CIO, Ohio Association of Public School Employees and the Ohio Education Association, and more.
