A poll showed that 77.36 percent of Ohio Republicans believe that U.S. Representative Jim Jordan (R-OH-04) should be elected as the next Speaker of the House.

The Ohio TEA Party organization We the People Convention released the results of its Ohio state poll which was conducted on Aug. 19. The poll surveyed a random sample of 614 Ohio Republicans to determine the level of support for Jordan’s bid to become the next Speaker.
Representative Steve Scalise (R-LA-01), the House’s Majority Whip, received 14.98 percent. Representative Kevin McCarthy (R-CA-23), House Majority Leader, received 7.65 percent. More than 80 percent of Ohio Republican voters felt that Jordan would be the most supportive of President Donald Trump’s agenda.
The survey also found that 79.82 percent of Republican voters felt that the Ohio Republican Party State Central Committee should endorse Jordan for Speaker. They will meet at their State Central Committee on Sept. 7. A total of 73.19 percent felt Ohio’s nine incumbent Republican congressmen and six candidates should endorse Jordan out of loyalty to a fellow Ohioan and Congress member. A majority of 55.29 percent said that it would affect their vote for members if they endorsed Jordan before election day.
TEA Party reacts
Tom Zawistowski, president of the We the People Convention said, “As President Trump saw first hand at the rally in Lewis Center, Ohio a few weeks back, and as this statewide polls shows, Jim Jordan is clearly the overwhelming choice of Ohio Republicans to be the next Speaker of the US House of Representatives.
“I would also point out that the TEA Party Patriots survey last week showed that 98.4 percent of TEA Party activist around the nation support Jordan for Speaker. The reasons are clear, we trust Jim Jordan as Speaker to restore regular order and allow the House to serve the people instead of special interests. We trust Jim Jordan to do what those we elect to office promised us they would do. We know that Jim Jordan will support the agenda the people elected President Trump to implement instead of obstructing the President every step of the way as has been the case under the current Speaker of the House.”
Contact congressmen for Jordan
Zawistowski urges voters to contact their representative or candidate to ask them to support Jordan. He listed their contact information in an email along with a percentage of Republican voters in their districts who support Jordan. (“To my knowledge only Warren Davidson and Steve Kraus have already endorsed Jordan,” he said.)
He asks voters to write back to him in email to give the responses.
