About Troy Balderson
Growing up in rural Ohio, I learned the true meaning of hard work, responsibility, and the importance of community. These values were instilled in me by my family and the close-knit community that surrounded us. It’s this upbringing that has shaped my principles and guided me throughout my life.
I ran for Congress because I saw the challenges plaguing our country, challenges that hit close to home. Out of control spending, skyrocketing cost of living, parents worried about what their kids were seeing both in and out of the classroom, and many Americans feeling left behind - these are issues that I couldn’t ignore.
I knew that if we didn’t take action, the America I grew up in would be at risk, and the next generation would face even greater challenges. I remember a time when hard work could put food on the table, fill up the gas tank, and provide a sense of security for families. Just like a classic car, America is worth fixing. That starts with relying on our tried and true values again, like hard work, personal responsibility, and family.
In Congress, I am fighting alongside the Trump Administration to ratchet back Biden Administration’s job-killing policies, pump the brakes on inflation, and shine a light on common sense. Getting the job done takes more than me or one congressional seat. Are you ready to join us to fix what the Left’s broken?
Join the fight and help me keep our American values alive.
Sincerely,
Troy Balderson
Meet Troy
Troy Balderson grew up in Zanesville fixing cars, working on his family’s farm, racing bikes, and getting dirty. If it was broken, Troy could fix it.
“My father put a wrench in my hand as soon as I could hold it. We need to get shop class back in our schools and teach kids the satisfaction that comes with building and fixing things again.”
As our Congressman, Troy puts those same principles to work for us. That’s why he continues to earn a reputation as one of the best problem-solvers in Washington.
“When people come to me in frustration, I have never found the cause of their pain to be a lack of government bureaucracy. The answer is usually to get government out of the way. Our government is too big and causes too many problems.”
Asked to describe Troy Balderson, the most common answer you’ll get is, “he’s just Troy,” because he’s the same at home as he is in Congress.
“The notion that any of us are entitled to anything makes no sense to me. Get up, do the work, fix the problems, be useful, and help where you can. Those are the values my parents taught me and those are the values that built the greatest nation the world has ever known.”
Troy Balderson has lived here all his life. He is a graduate of Zanesville High School, and went on to attend college at both Muskingum College and The Ohio State University.
