Republican congressional candidate Fred Dailey will have to answer lots of questions from conservative primary voters in the next few months. For example, why did the Ohio Department of Agriculture, under his leadership, launch a legal assault on raw milk? Was he a shill for factory farms as some have alleged? Did he support the Voinovich/Taft tax increases? What does he think about corporate welfare? And how can a candidate that claims to be a conservative drink at the big government trough of farm subsidies?
Public records indicate that Dailey took in just under $20,000 from 1995 through 2005 in corn subsidies for his family farm. I can see the Club for Growth ad campaign now.
At the same time, Dailey indicates that ethics will be an issue in the district.
Dailey says ethics are a major concern to voters he meets on the campaign trail.
"People speak openly," Dailey said. "They feel betrayed and some of them are quite bitter about it."
Dailey said voters' ethical concerns mean any blemish on a candidates record could be a tremendous disadvantage. "You have to have a candidate that is ethical and honest with people," Dailey said. (Campaigns and Elections Magazine).
