Brian Poindexter For Congress
@poindexterforcongress
When times get tough, working people need to stand up! Candidate for Congress in Ohio's 7th! Union ironworker & former labor organizer who knows and values the people keeping our economy running, our communities thriving, and America moving forward!
I'm proud to announce our endorsement by Captain Mark Kelly. Senator Kelly is a combat veteran, an astronaut, and now a senator fighting for the people who sent him to Washington. Working families need relief, and I'm proud to stand shoulder to shoulder with him in the fight to put Workers First.
We're proud to announce that the workers' first campaign, which started in a garage, just got added to the DCCC's Red to Blue program! It's official: our race is one of the best opportunities in the country to flip a House seat and put working people first in Washington! Let's finish the job!
Working people show up every single day and put in the hours to keep America moving forward. Their representative to Congress should too.
AFSCME members keep Ohio running — they plow our roads, staff our county offices, care for our seniors, and answer when we dial 911. I'm honored to have their trust, and in Congress I'll fight to make sure those who serve our communities can retire with dignity and raise a family on what they earn.
Proud to have the endorsement of Berea Mayor Cyril Kleem. Our campaign, since the beginning, has been about fighting for working families, and I'm proud to have Mayor Kleem's endorsement, as he has a record of fighting for hardworking families in the city of Berea.
Happy birthday to the anchor of this campaign, the commander of the high steel himself and our next Congressman, Brian Poindexter! From your entire team, thank you for being such a strong fighter for working people; we've got your back! — Team Poindexter
We had a great time marching in the Olmsted Falls Heritage Days Parade and being part of its return after a seven-year absence! We loved seeing the community come together, with all the young families and community members lining the route.
This campaign is for anyone who's ever had to decide which bill not to pay because their kid needed medicine; for any student buried in debt, or any senior watching rising costs eat into their budget. If you're ready to stand up for a better life for regular people, we want you on our team.
Proud to be endorsed by the hardworking men and women of UFCW Local 880! The frontline workers of the UFCW know firsthand how important strong labor standards are, and how reckless decisions at the federal level have driven up grocery prices by 20%. Proud and grateful to have the UFCW on our side!
Proudly endorsed by the Ohio State Building and Construction Trades Council. As a union ironworker for nearly twenty years, I'm proud to have support from my brothers and sisters in the building trades — they know firsthand that I'll fight for their issues and all workers in Washington!
I'm proud to announce our campaign's endorsement by the Association of Flight Attendants-CWA, representing 55,000 Flight Attendants across 20 airlines!
Strongsville is ready for representation in Washington that puts working people in our district first. Together, we'll bring down prices, fight corruption, and make raising a family and retiring more affordable for everyone!
Last week, mid-campaign, Brian graduated from the Ironworkers' national instructor training program — finishing what he started five years ago. He's spent those five years teaching apprentices the trade that gave his family stability. Watch the full story: https://poindexterforcongress.com/journey/
57 years ago today, Neil Armstrong stepped onto the Moon — and the path there ran through our district. At what's now NASA Glenn at Lewis Field, researchers pioneered the liquid hydrogen fuel that powered the Saturn V. When we invest in science and our people, we reach the Moon. That legacy is ours.
This campaign is bigger than just one of us — it’s going to take all of us to win this race. It doesn’t matter if you shower before or after work, are retired, or just starting your career — when I get to Congress, you’ll be there too.
It was a pleasure spending time at the St. Vladimir Ukrainian Festival in Parma and meeting so many people from the Northeast Ohio Ukrainian community! Ukrainian culture is a distinct part of the fabric of America, and America will always be a friend to Ukraine. Heroyam slava! 🇺🇦
A million federal workers lost their union rights. Congress voted to restore them — Max Miller voted NO. When the NLRB sat paralyzed for 11 months, he said nothing. Workers deserve someone in their corner every day. I don't get my labor positions from a briefing book — I am labor.
Kicking off the day celebrating America's 250th birthday in Parma! Happy 4th of July! #4thJuly
We need to become the United States again — that means seeing past our differences; recognizing that a person's value is more than how they vote and realizing that, after 250 years, this great experiment has only just begun. It's up to us to keep it going. Happy birthday, America!
A bill with bipartisan support to make housing more affordable, and it's being held up because they want to make it harder for people, especially women, to vote. Our right to vote isn't for sale and sure as hell isn't a bargaining chip. Relief for working families needs to be unconditional.
Every day talking to working people is a day well spent. Washington needs to learn that, and learn it fast.
We're proud to be an inaugural member of the Blue Collar Brigade! From coast to coast, workers are standing up and running for public office. Proud to stand with Kaela Berg, Bob Brooks, Sam Forstag, and Randy Villegas as we work to bring working-class values to DC! https://bluecollarbrigade.us/
Thank you to all who joined our first Town Hall in Bay Village! Accountability starts with showing up to listen. Ohio's 7th deserves that level of commitment. Join us next: Brook Park Library 7/1, 6-8pm Parma Heights Library 7/11, 1-3pm Strongsville Library 7/18, 1-3pm Medina Library 8/15, 1-3pm
We had a great time yesterday at Ashland BalloonFest! Truly a great, fun, family-friendly event. It was great to be there and to talk to so many folks from Ashland and the surrounding area. Already looking forward to next year!
The impact of teachers is hard to put into words. Every day, they guide and instruct our next generation, and their impact is felt far beyond the classroom. As an ironworker instructor, I'm proud to have the Ohio Federation of Teachers' endorsement because giving back & teaching are one and the same
Character Matters. Some people spend their whole lives working for what they have — and then put others first. Our new Character Matters Program honors the workers & caregivers who've quietly done exactly that for years. Know someone like that? Nominate them. 👇 https://forms.gle/eXfp7uFwg3C2FjSM9
Wadsworth — that was a lot of fun! I enjoyed walking in the Blue Tip Parade and meeting so many people along the parade route! Thank you to our grassroots team for coming out with us! Let's keep marching forward to put #WorkersFirst in Washington!
Max Miller didn't move here to represent us — his voting record proves it. Now the race is moving: Inside Elections and Cook both shifted it our way, and the poll's a 44–43 tie, Brian +17 with independents. Time for representation that knows what working people back home are up against.
Being a dad is the greatest honor of my life. And being a #girldad? Even sweeter. My girls taught me it's okay to be tender, okay to be soft, okay to put others first. They've made me a more complete man. Thank you, girls, for letting me be your dad. I love you.
Jourdon Anderson, formerly enslaved, was asked by his old master to return to the Tennessee plantation where he'd been enslaved. His reply still echoes as a testament to dignity and freedom. This Juneteenth, let's vow to lift people up and bring them together — never to stand on their backs.
