Carey, a coal lobbyist who was endorsed by former President Donald Trump, won the Republican special primary in August. Carey strongly embraced Trump during the race, putting the former President front and center in his campaign. In one campaign video, Carey says that he "stood with President Trump when he took on the political establishment," and argues that "President Trump deserves credit for empowering so many." In one campaign video, Russo said, "We can't let our recovery be rigged to favor Wall Street while the rest of us on main street are left behind. Ohio needs an economy that values the middle class, people who work for a living, not just the rich and powerful."
