Voter guide

Background, stated goals, record, and money

Background comes from official records, and from the campaign's own biography where the bullet says so; goals are summarized from the campaign's own platform and stay attributed; the record lines are official actions with the government source attached; money is shown as filed, with the filing window and the reconciliation in the note under the table, and is not evidence of why any position was taken.

Brian Poindexter

Background

  • A Brook Park city councilman, elected at large; the city's own council page lists him among its seven members. City of Brook Park, Ohio
  • His campaign describes him as a union ironworker and a father, and says he has worked many of the blue-collar jobs in the district. Poindexter for Congress

What they say they want to do

  • An economy that works for the people who power it, where working families are not paying more while corporations post record profits. Poindexter for Congress
  • The freedom for every worker to organise without intimidation, which his campaign ties to safer workplaces and fair pay. Poindexter for Congress
  • Health care that does not disappear when a job does. Poindexter for Congress
  • An end to rewarding companies that ship jobs overseas, with corporations investing in American workers and communities instead. Poindexter for Congress

What the official record shows

  • Mar 18, 2025 Moved that no work could begin on a proposed Circle K gas station at 20850 Sheldon Road until the Route 237 safety recommendations were completed at Circle K's expense, as a condition of its permit. The council adopted the condition 4 to 3. City of Brook Park, Ohio
  • Mar 18, 2025 Moved to limit the same station's hours to 5 a.m. to 11 p.m., which the council adopted 4 to 3. A further condition he moved, a new traffic study with passing grades before any work began, failed 2 to 5. City of Brook Park, Ohio
