Ohio congressman vying to replace JD Vance in the Senate says Trump's agenda must be priority on 'Day One'
Fox News
Rep. Mike Carey, among Ohio Republicans vying for JD Vance's Senate seat, said he's best equipped to implement President-elect Trump's agenda on "day one."
With three endorsements from Trump under his belt, Carey said the president-elect "needs somebody in the Senate that will make sure that we get his agenda through."

"I think that's the most important thing, because I want the president to be successful. I think the American people want the president to be successful," Carey told Fox News Digital. "And I think that's what we need from a senator from the state of Ohio. And so I'd be honored to help him move his agenda forward in the U.S. Senate."
"I think you need to have somebody that's able to start on Day One, hit the ground running as a U.S. senator," Carey, who serves on the House Ways and Means Committee and Committee on House Administration, said. "You don't want to have somebody coming in from the great state of Ohio who has to be on the job training. And so we've had a track record of success here in the, you know, in the 15th Congressional District. I can easily parlay that into the Senate."
