Jenn Giroux is running to represent Ohio's 27th District and her fate will soon be decided in the Republican primary on Aug. 2.

The district is encompassed by Hamilton County and covers parts of Cincinnati, Anderson Indian Hill, Simms Township and Hyde Park.  

“I believe that the 27th District is a conservative district. It is a pro-life district that wants abortion outlawed in Ohio,” Giroux said. "And I have seen the need to be compassionate toward abortion patients or abortion-minded patients or those that regret their abortions. I also see the need for education of every child deserves life."

As a nurse, Giroux said she remembers during the height of the pandemic when people were kept away from their sick or dying family members.

"I watched in horror as they kept families away from dying relatives or priests, rabbis and ministers away from a dying bed of a patient, and keeping vital family members away from patients who were sick, confused and unable to advocate for themselves all in the name of COVID,
"
 Giroux said. “And the reason I say that was unreasonable is the nurses that were in that hospital, the hospital I've worked in, I see it. I know it. They would go home to their kids, take them to their school, Chick-Fil-A, come back the next morning, walk right in and keep the family members out the door in the same household with the patient."

She also said the pandemic brought government overreach with the vaccine mandate and other issues.

"The scary things we saw with the lack of integrity of being able to rely on the election results because so many things were done in the name of COVID, which allowed ballot stuffing and other things that people don't like to talk about," Giroux said.

Giroux is an Indian Hill small business owner and nurse who has nine children.

She won a July 1 local court ruling that resulted in her late inclusion on the ballot by the Hamilton County Board of Elections, The Enquirer reported.

She’ll face other conservatives in the race including Lindsay Cole.

“Lindsay Cole is an Ohio native, a businesswoman and single working mom of two, a former professional cheerleader for the Cincinnati Bengals and a survivor of domestic violence,” Cole’s campaign website reads.

She’ll also face Realtor Joe Murray, a native of Anderson Township, according to Ballotpedia.
