Steve Stivers (R-Ohio). The other became vacant after the resignation of former Rep. Marcia Fudge (D-Ohio).<\/p>\n<p>Former President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/t-donald-trump\">Donald Trump<\/a> has endorsed Mike Carey in the race to replace Stivers.<\/p>\n<p>Carey is among the candidates vying to fill the seat representing Ohio\u2019s 15th Congressional District, which was held by Stivers before he stepped down in May to become the president and CEO of the Ohio Chamber of Commerce.<\/p>\n<p>Trump said in a video on Monday that Carey \u201cis going to do a fantastic job on Second Amendment, on the military, on our vets\u2014on every single element of what we\u2019re doing, and really a big focus on crime.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Carey, an Army National Guard veteran and former coal executive, is one of a dozen Republicans running for the seat, which is expected to stay in the GOP.<\/p>\n<p>Carey says he\u2019ll focus on \u201cAmerica first policies\u201d championed by Trump, such as lowering taxes, working on fair trade deals, and investing in the military, if he\u2019s elected.<\/p>\n<p>The race will test the power of Trump\u2019s endorsement. Ohio Rep. Jeff LaRe received the backing of Stivers.<\/p>\n<p>A Trump-backed candidate <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/jake-ellzey-wins-bid-for-us-house-seat-over-trump-backed-susan-wright_3921747.html\">lost in a special election in Texas last month<\/a>. However, a Trump-backed candidate won a special election for Louisiana\u2019s 5th Congressional District earlier this year.<\/p>\n<p>LaRe says he\u2019ll work on bolstering America\u2019s borders, balancing its budget, and defending the Second Amendment if elected.<\/p>\n<p>The winner of Tuesday\u2019s primary will move onto the general election, which is slated for Nov. 2.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3931032\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/nina-turner-1200x1498-1.jpg\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1498\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-3931032\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/nina-turner-1200x1498-1.jpg\" alt=\"Epoch Times Photo\" width=\"640\" height=\"799\" \/><\/noscript><\/figcaption>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Nina Turner, a candidate running in a special Democratic primary election for Ohio\u2019s 11th Congressional District speaks with supporters near the Cuyahoga County Board of Elections before casting her vote in Cleveland, Ohio, on July 7, 2021.

Nina Turner, who has received endorsements from Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), and Shontel Brown, chairwoman of the Cuyahoga County Democratic Party, who has garnered endorsements from former Democrat presidential candidate Hillary Clinton and House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn (D-S.C.).<\/p>\n<p>The House is controlled at present by Democrats.
