Andrew Hounshell is a Army Veteran, steelworker, vice president of International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers Local 1943, husband, father of triplets and a native son of Ohio.

He obviously is a huge underdog in this race due to John Boehner's name recognition, fundraising ability and the fact that the republicans have gerrymandered the congressional map of Ohio. The things on Mr. Hounshell's side is he has a early start and is a middle class family man. Give him a look before you throw in the towel.
