Anderson Township, Newtown and Terrace Park voters will choose among three candidates for Ohio's 1st Congressional District on Tuesday, Nov. 3: Democratic incumbent Greg Landsman, Republican Eric Conroy and Libertarian Nathan Weise.

The race plays out on a redrawn map. The Ohio Redistricting Commission approved new congressional boundaries in October 2025, shifting the 1st District from a Democratic lean to a Republican one. President Donald Trump won the communities now in the district by about three percentage points in 2024, according to WLWT. Under the old lines, former Vice President Kamala Harris won those same communities by six points. The Cook Political Report rates the race "Lean Democrat."

Landsman, 49, is seeking a third term after unseating longtime Republican Rep. Steve Chabot in 2022. A former teacher and Cincinnati City Council member, he won the May 5 Democratic primary with 67.9% of the vote, according to Ballotpedia.

Conroy, a first-time candidate who grew up in Miami Township, served as an Air Force intelligence officer in Japan and Korea and later as a CIA case officer in Afghanistan, Poland and Iraq. He won the May 5 Republican primary with 71.9% of the vote and carries an endorsement from President Trump, according to Local 12.

Weise, chair of the Hamilton County Libertarian Party, holds a master's in public administration from Grand Canyon University, according to WVXU. He is a Cincinnati native and Cincinnati Public Schools graduate. WVXU reported that Conroy did not respond to multiple requests to complete its candidate survey.

Data centers

Data center development has become a flashpoint. Landsman introduced the bipartisan No Secrets for Data Centers Act in September with Reps. Tom Barrett, R-Michigan, and Jamie Raskin, D-Maryland. The bill would bar government officials from signing nondisclosure agreements (NDAs) in data center negotiations, as first reported by WCPO.

Conroy told WCPO in a Sept. 25 interview that data centers are "a local issue" and said he would support the NDA ban after vetting it. His campaign also criticized Landsman's record on transparency.

Iran

The candidates split on the U.S. military campaign in Iran. Conroy told Local 12 on Oct. 6 that "the president was right to act," citing Iran's nuclear ambitions and energy market instability. Landsman said he supported initial targeted strikes but opposed broader regime change. Weise called the administration's approach "a disaster from every perspective" in an Oct. 7 WVXU candidate survey, citing 19 U.S. service members killed and more than 800 wounded.

Fundraising

Landsman holds a significant cash advantage: more than $4.6 million raised and $3.6 million on hand, compared to Conroy's $1.5 million raised and $474,000 on hand, according to Federal Election Commission filings reported by The Center Square.
