[edit] Thank you everyone, I've had a great time answering your questions! There are many more that I'd love to answer but I've got to get on the road. I'll check this out again when I get home tonight and try to answer some more! -- Janet

I'm Janet Garrett, candidate for US Congress in OH-4. I am a proud, lifelong Ohioan. I grew up here, raised a family, taught public school for 35 years and led my local union. I have a deep love and respect for this state and the people in it – and I know, after a lifetime of facing the same challenges as the people of this district, that I am ready to represent Ohio in Congress.

My opponent Jim Jordan and his Freedom Caucus broke Washington... and now he wants us to hire him to fix it. For someone who has difficulty compromising even within his own party, it's hard to imagine him leading the whole Congress and getting anything done. I've been at the negotiating table more times than I can count, and I am prepared to reach across the aisle to compromise and solve problems for the people of Ohio. Ask me anything!

It's Saturday morning, folks. Let's all kick back with a cup of coffee and share some cartoons!

Feel free to share political cartoons (no memes/image macros, though) in this thread. The subject doesn't have to be US politics and can be from any time. Just keep them political and safe for work.
