Governor of Ohio |
 |
|
John Kasich |
|
| The sitting Governor of Ohio has enjoyed stunning political success over his life, and he’s hoping to ride it all the way to the White House in 2016. His incomplete rejection of Obamacare has put him on the outs with the Tea Party, but other Republicans are likely to back his strong conservative policies.

Army child and business owner |
 |
|
Skip Andrews |
|
| “Skip” Andrews is a diverse candidate who probably has at least one opinion to please anyone. Few politicians are able to satisfy both a pro-legalization marijuana advocate and a staunch pro-lifer. Of course, this also means most would object to a majority of his platform.

|
Esteban Oliverez |
|
| Esteban Oliverez seeks to emulate what he considers the wiser aspects of both Republican and Democratic doctrine while discarding the nonsense, but he generally comes down on the political left.

Jack Fellure |
|
| A stubborn refusal to say “die” is one of the hallmarks of Jack Fellure, who’s been running for President every four years since 1988. He’s a dauntlessly religious man and a rock-solid conservative, advocating alcohol prohibition and the criminalization of homosexuality, among other right-wing positions.

Author |
 |
|
Andy Martin |
|
| On the surface, Andy Martin is a pretty straightforward conservative with little standing out about him. He’s got a colorful past, though, filled with vexatious litigation and accusations of being an anti-semite. He has sued the State of Hawaii for the release of Barack Obama’s birth certificate.

 |
|
Valma Kittington |
|
| Valma Kittington is a veteran of the US Navy and a “born again” Christian. With conservative leanings on abortion, gun control, and drug laws, as well as a strong stance against illegal immigration, she is a good fit for many religious Republicans.

Common-Sense Leader |
 |
|
Jefferson Sherman |
|
| He’d rather talk about America’s problems and their solutions than talk about himself, but he’s got a lot to say. Jefferson Sherman has three “core goals” for his administration, should it come to pass, focusing on job creation, honorable foreign policy, and reduced government.

|
Michael Petyo |

George Bailey |
|
| George Bailey has spent much of his life preaching the gospel, but he’s had a rich and successful career outside the ministry as well. He’s a solid conservative pretty much across the board. Bailey is unfortunately saddled with a number of health problems, but he doesn’t let them keep him down.

American Progressive |
 |
|
Eric Cavanagh |
|
| With a platform that generally aims to the left, Eric Cavanagh nevertheless has a number of right-leaning ideas, including a 100% porn tax. He also favors “mandatory expungement”: Six months after being convicted of a serious crime, your record is wiped clean. Even minor offenses would be forgotten after 3 months.

Water Treatment Operator (Retired) |
 |
|
James C. Mitchell, Jr. |
|
| Jim Mitchell, Jr is a pro-life, pro-gun rights conservative from Illinois. He’s got a bone to pick with crime, and his methods are as novel as they are aggressive: mandatory military service for young people to starve off gang recruitment, and free government-distributed narcotics to collapse the illegal drug trade.

Veteran and Pastor |
 |
|
K. Ross Newland |
|
| It’s hard to disagree with what K. Ross Newland wants to do as President – there’s so darn little of it. He believes in limited government that leads by influence rather than mandate, while his strong Christian faith brings him to call for generous tithing that would allow churches to practice large-scale charity.

Manufacturing Professional |
 |
|
Peter Messina |
|
| “Staunch” may not be the right word to describe Peter Messina’s conservatism, but he definitely favors the right wing. His attitudes toward taxation, Obamacare, and especially gun control will win him friends in the GOP, but those same people may arch a brow at his feelings on illegal immigration and Muslim Americans.

|
Brooks Cullison |
|
| A man of faith for whom addressing the threat of radical Islam is Job One, but Brooks Cullison also worries about the abused and destitute in the US and the high volume of illegal immigrant traffic crossing the border with Mexico. Support for education is another issue on which he feels strongly.
