    Congressman Mike Carey of Ohio's 15th District on the Campaign Trail Talking to the Voters

    Congressman Mike Carey of Ohio's 15th District on the Campaign Trail Talking to the Voters On this week's News in Focus, we talk with Ohio Congressman Mike Carey of Ohio's 15th District. We discuss affordability, tackling inflation, and working on home buying for a younger generation, the progress that has been made with the Reconciliation Bill and the Big Beautiful Bill tax cuts, and the new housing bill.  President Trump and the Republicans are moving the country forward. It is taking time to get out from underneath the Biden inflation years, moving the country and the economy forward. There is still much to do, but if Republicans lose in November, and the Democrat Socialists take control, it will result in more spending, sending the economy over the cliff. This is no time for conservatives to sit it out. Get in the game and vote this November, keeping the country and the President's agenda moving forward.
