Tom Brinkman is running to return to the Ohio House, and Ohio Gun Owners gave Brinkman our A+.

Back in 2021, Brinkman was the primary sponsor of House Bill 227, the original constitutional carry bill. It would have created a concealed weapons license and let Ohioans carry any lawful deadly weapon, not just a handgun. That's the same fight gun owners are still waging today with the Freedom to Carry Act.
