Three Recent Polls Have Confirmed Jane Timken’s Momentum

 CANTON, OH – A new survey released today from the Bernie Moreno Campaign shows that Jane Timken is tied for the lead against career politician Josh Mandel. This validates recent internal polling showing the same result, as well as new polling from the Mandel aligned Club For Growth showing that Timken has gutted Mandel’s lead. 

Timken’s continued growth comes even after she is being attacked by Mandel’s D.C. special interest group, and Moreno’s “jump” comes even after he is outspending Timken by a 3-1 margin. 

“We thank these outside polls for confirming what we already know – Ohio voters are clearly responding to Jane Timken’s strong record of leadership and authentic America First record,” said Timken Communications Director Mandi Merritt.

CANTON, OH – U.S. Senate candidate Jane Timken held the kickoff event tonight for “Parents for Jane” in Central Ohio with a group of over 150 parents, students, and families across the state. The “Parents for Jane” grassroots coalition is an extension of Jane’s “Parents First” statewide tour and highlights her continued focus on education and the issues concerning families across the state.

“Democrats have waged a war on parents by fighting to keep schools closed, pushing radical ideologies on children at the expense of a good education, and colluding with the National School Boards Association to label parents ‘domestic terrorists,'” said Timken. “As a mom and Ohio’s next Senator, I will always stand on the side of parents to decide what is best for their child’s health, education and well-being, not politicians, special interests or teachers unions. I firmly believe that taking back our country starts with taking back our classrooms.” 

Jane was joined today by “Parents for Jane” Chair State Representative Marilyn John, sponsor of Ohio’s Backpack Bill, and Co-Chair Cathy Pultz, a mom, activist, and former teacher.

“Parents for Jane” members will act as grassroots leaders for the campaign in all 88 Ohio counties, organizing events and utilizing traditional in-person campaigning as well as digital mediums to share Jane’s message on putting parents back at the center of their children’s health, education, and well-being. 

This coalition launch, the second of the cycle behind “Women for Jane,” comes on the heels of Jane’s release of her “Parents First” curriculum and her “Parents First” listening tour. The campaign has already held dozens of “Women for Jane” and “Parents First” events as Jane continues to grow her support as the grassroots, consensus candidate that can unify the Party and win. 

Today, Jane became the first Senate candidate to officially file for the ballot and recentpolling confirms Timken, as a first-time candidate, continues to climb on the ballot and is in second place, closing in on first.

Timken First Statewide Candidate in Ohio to Formally File for Ballot, Touting Grassroots Support 

 CANTON, OH – U.S. Senate candidate Jane Timken became the first statewide candidate in Ohio to formally file for the ballot today, submitting over 2,800 signatures to the Secretary of State’s office from Ohioans in all 88 counties. 

“I am proud to be running a grassroots campaign, fueled by Ohioans who are eager for fresh leadership, a conservative champion, and a proven fighter for the America First agenda,” said Timken. “Ohioans know me as someone who has been fighting alongside them over the last five years for our conservative cause, and that authentic record is resonating in all corners of the state. As Ohio’s next United States Senator, I will fight tirelessly to return our country to a path of prosperity where families are empowered, communities are safe, our God-given rights are protected, and radical socialism will never hinder the American Dream. This race is pivotal for the future of our country – and I am not slowing down.” 

Today’s filing was made possible thanks to an overwhelming show of support from Ohio Republican voters and Timken’s grassroots support. Not only is Timken the “First to File,” but she is the only candidate with a statewide infrastructure including Timken County Chairs in all 88 counties, over 175 endorsements from Ohio conservative officials, and an unparalleled ground game that has already made one million voter contacts. This infrastructure will be key to turning grassroots support into actual votes on Election Day.

This outpouring of grassroots enthusiasm is matched by the tremendous in-state financial support from Ohioans. With over 80 percent of total contributions coming from within the state, Timken dwarfs her opponents in support from those who will actually vote in this primary. In fact, Timken has double the Ohio donor support than her next closest opponent and is in the top two for total dollars raised.

Recentpolling confirms Timken, as a first-time candidate, continues to climb on the ballot and is in second place, closing in on first against career politician Josh Mandel, even as other candidates and outside-aligned groups spend more on paid advertising. The more Ohio voters learn about Timken, the more she becomes the clear choice as the Republican nominee who can fight for our country, unite the Party, and defeat Democrats’ socialist agenda in November.

Latest Club for Growth Poll Shows Mandel Losing Nearly 40% of Support on the Ballot Since Last Poll, Jane Timken Doubling

January 10, 2022

CANTON, OH – In a new poll released today from the Josh Mandel aligned group Club For Growth, career-politician Josh Mandel has hemorrhaged his support on the ballot by nearly 40%, losing 14 percentage points since the last Club for Growth Poll (26% today, down from 40% in August), while first-time candidate Jane Timken has doubled her support on the ballot and is in clear second place. The Club’s latest poll validates key takeaways from recent internal polling showing Jane Timken in second place and closing in on first, as Mandel’s early lead based entirely on name recognition corrodes. 

“In a desperate attempt to chase our recent polling, Josh Mandel’s own supporters have confirmed what we all know – Mandel is hemorrhaging support while Jane Timken is surging as the fresh leader, clear alternative, and genuine America First candidate that Ohioans are responding to,” said Timken Communications Director Mandi Merritt. 

The Club for Growth poll also mirrors recent Timken internals showing J.D. Vance’s campaign failed to get off the ground and he is now underwater with GOP primary voters with single digit support on the ballot as Ohioans learn about his past Never-Trump record. 

Key findings of the Timken internal poll released last week, trends largely confirmed by today’s Club for Growth poll, include: 

• Timken is in a statistical tie for the lead as her ballot position, image, and statewide awareness continue to surge at the right time.
  • This continued growth comes when two other candidates and two outside-aligned groups are spending more on paid advertising. 
• The more Ohio voters learn about Timken, the more they like her, while Mandel has the reverse effect and continues to fall on the ballot.
  • Mandel is vulnerable as Ohio voters are clearly looking for an alternative. 
  • Mandel’s early lead was entirely a product of his perennial candidacies for public office since the 1990s and spending well over $50 million in past campaigns, but he continues to see a decline in his numbers and is underperforming relative to his name ID.
• JD Vance is underwater as his Never-Trump record continues to come to light.
  • Vance is running in fifth place, despite a $10,000,000 Super PAC boost, and is the only candidate with a higher unfavorable than favorable rating. 
• Mike Gibbons continues to remain relatively stagnant despite this being his second statewide campaign and spending a massive amount of money on paid advertising.  

These survey results prove that Jane Timken is running a winning campaign as Ohio voters are clearly responding to her America First message, relentless grassroots campaign, and strong record of leadership. The results also come on the heels of a new endorsement from Congresswoman and House GOP Conference Chair Elise Stefanik, buoying the endorsements of over 170 conservative leaders in Ohio, Governor Kristi Noem, Maggie’s List, and VIEW PAC.

America First Candidate Jane Timken Continues To Gain on Ballot

 CANTON, OH – Jane Timken’s campaign for U.S. Senate released the following poll Friday showing that the Senate ballot is now statistically tied between first-time candidate Jane Timken and career-politician Josh Mandel. With the primary only four months away, Timken has gutted Mandel’s early lead as Ohio primary voters coalesce around her as the fresh leader and true America First candidate they want in Washington.  

“Ohioans know me as a leader who was there for them and the America First agenda, and I’m incredibly excited they continue to put their faith in me,” said Timken. “My campaign is run IN Ohio, FOR Ohio, and supported BY Ohioans because this race isn’t about me – it’s about delivering for Ohio families, businesses and communities all across the state. Together, we will stop the Democrats’ socialist takeover in its tracks and return our country to the strong, conservative leadership that it desperately craves.” 

Key findings of the poll include: 

• Timken is now within a net point swing in the race – a statistical tie – as her ballot position, image, and statewide awareness continue to surge at the right time.
  • This continued growth comes when two other candidates and two outside-aligned groups are spending more on paid advertising. 
• The more Ohio voters learn about Timken, the more they like her, while Mandel has the reverse effect and continues to fall on the ballot.
  • Mandel is vulnerable as Ohio voters are clearly looking for an alternative. 
  • Mandel’s early lead was entirely a product of his perennial candidacies for public office since the 1990s and spending well over $50 million in past campaigns, but he continues to see a decline in his numbers and is underperforming relative to his name ID.
