Carey Coleman

Carey Coleman's working life has largely unfolded on the air, first delivering television weather reports and later talking politics with Northeast Ohio radio listeners.¹ His broadcasting career has included national, statewide and local television outlets as well as WNIR radio.¹ He and his family live in Northeast Ohio.¹

Coleman is running for Congress after decades in broadcasting.² At an October Akron Press Club appearance, he described a regional agenda that included additional routes at Akron-Canton Airport and incentives to use polymers in road surfaces that could better withstand freezing and thawing.²

His campaign calls for restraining federal spending, expanding domestic energy production and reducing regulatory burdens on smaller employers.³ He supports apprenticeship programs and training connected to local employers' needs, alongside efforts to bring manufacturing and supply chains back to the United States.³ He also favors more resources for police recruitment and training, addiction recovery and mental health programs.³

On infrastructure, Coleman proposes faster permitting, clearer oversight and repairing existing roads, bridges and other facilities.³ He has also said tariffs require care because they can both support American employment and hurt trade with neighboring countries.² He faces Democratic Representative Emilia Sykes and nonparty candidate Sandeep Dixit in November.⁴
