Jobs

The United States must keep its competitive edge to ensure that their employees remain more productive than the employees of other countries.

National Debt

Our government continues to incur record deficits and shows no willingness to effectively eliminate wasteful spending in order to reduce the national debt.

Education

In order for our young people to succeed, we must take the necessary steps to make sure that they receive the best education we can possibly give them.

Health Care

Effective health care reform must start with reducing the cost of health care.

"I have been honored to know Mr. Ganley most of my life; firstly as one of the coaches of our church basketball team, through my teenage years, when he helped my family and me through the tragedy of the loss of my sister, and, finally into adulthood, where he always has made time to make sure my family and I are well, offer an encouraging word, and a hearty, meaningful handshake. Mr. Ganley is an honorable, compassionate, and determined man, and it is these qualities, along with his unbreakable convictions and unshakeable faith, that he will take to Washington, and call upon to become a strong advocate for your family, our state, and our nation. He is the epitome of the American Dream, and he deserves your vote so that he may be given the opportunity to be a catalyst for getting our county back on track, and, once again, on the path that our Founding Fathers intended."

"Mr. Ganley represents what true Americans should be. He's a self-made man who is fed up with the professional politicians who think only of themselves and their perpetual re-elections, thereby being beholden to special interests and not their constituents and the citizens of our country. They have created havoc in our country and are well on their way to permanently destroying the American spirit that has built this nation. Mr. Ganley wants us to get back to basics: private entrepreneurship, hard work, independence, families helping each other, etc. Even though he has built successful business, he has not distanced himself from the common folks and has not forgotten his roots, as so many professional and perpetual politicians have done. We need him and others like him to take back our government and our country."

-Chris Fine, Aurora, Ohio

"I have worked with Tom Ganley as a competitor and as an ally on several boards and projects. Tom is a man of integrity and common sense. His thoughts and words are well considered and reasonably presented. The professional politicians have placed our country in jeopardy. It is time to treat the important issues that face our country without partisan bias and with a common-sense, goal oriented, business attitude. Tom will provide excellent leadership in Washington and will fairly consider all sides of all issues. It is my pleasure to support him. I recommend that you learn about Tom and support him, as well."

-Ed Babcock, Chardon, Ohio
