Democrat Emilia Sykes and Republican Madison Gesiotto Gilbert are running to represent Ohio's 13th Congressional District. No matter who wins, the outcome will usher in a shift from Rep. Tim Ryan (D).
Gesiotto Gilbert, 30, later served on the Trump campaign and on his inaugural committee. An attorney and new mom, she is pitching herself as an “independent voice.”
“I really learned a lot about this community, and how to work for this community more effectively, and it shows in the bills that I’ve been able to pass the resources I’ve been able to bring back to the community,” Sykes said in a recent interview with The Washington Post. “With additional time and service, I can continue to do more.
When House Speaker Nancy Pelosi , traveled to Ohio in October, Gesiotto Gilbert posted a video of herself unpacking a gift basket with a gas gift card meant to represent high costs, baby formula meant to point to the shortage, Monopoly money meant to signify irresponsible spending, and directions from Ohio to San Francisco, which is Pelosi’s district.
“I think the biggest difference is the extremism that she brings with her and so much of it being connected to the former president and not really being considerate of the district,” Sykes said of Gesiotto Gilbert. She added: “You can’t make decisions with the former president because that’s who you owe your loyalty to. My loyalty is to the people in this community.”
The Republican nominee displays a photo of her and Trump on the main page of her campaign website, and spoke — days before giving birth — at a Trump rally in Youngstown in September. She brings up criticisms of Democrats in her rare media interviews more than she does Trump, but has not shied away from pointing out their ties.
