Published: April 2, 2026

Toledo, OH – Today, Alea Nadeem, an Air Force officer and conservative Republican for Congress in Ohio’s 9th Congressional District, received the endorsement of U.S. Senator John Boozman (R-AR), a senior member of the Senate Republican Conference, Senate Agriculture Committee Chairman, and a trusted voice for conservative values in Washington. The endorsement comes as Nadeem’s campaign for Congress continues to build momentum heading into the final month of the primary campaign:

“Service has defined Alea Nadeem’s life along with a deep commitment to freedom and prosperity. I am proud to endorse her campaign for Congress, which is built on character, bold leadership, and passion to deliver results for families and communities throughout northwest Ohio. Alea is a true public servant who will champion common sense and heartland values with integrity, and I look forward to serving the American people with her,” U.S. Senator John Boozman said.

 


Senator Boozman’s endorsement reflects growing support from Republicans nationally who recognize that control of the House of Representatives and the future of the Trump agenda hinge on winning Ohio’s 9th District. Republicans keep running career politicians and deeply flawed candidates who allow Marcy Kaptur to avoid responsibility for her far-left record. Nadeem’s campaign, which is centered on finally winning based on a message of economic opportunity and the America First agenda, public safety, and restoring commonsense leadership to a district that deserves a strong conservative voice in Congress.

 

“Senator Boozman has spent his career fighting for working families, defending freedoms, and delivering conservative results. His endorsement means the world to me and to our campaign. I am humbled by his confidence and inspired to carry the heartland values he has championed for decades into Congress. Northwest Ohio families deserve a representative who will stand up for them every day. That is exactly what I intend to do,” Alea Nadeem said.
