Mike Carey voted for legislation that makes deep cuts to Medicaid, taking away health care for hundreds of thousands of Ohioans while providing tax breaks for corporations and the wealthy. He has repeatedly voted against legislation supported by working families to lower healthcare costs and protect affordable coverage [5].

Before coming to Congress, Mike Carey spent more than two decades as a coal industry lobbyist, representing corporate interests. His most prominent client, Murray Energy, was implicated in Ohio's largest public corruption scandal involving a bribery scheme tied to higher utility costs for Ohio families[6]. In Congress, Carey has earned a 17% lifetime AFL-CIO voting score, reflecting a voting record that consistently votes to undermine hardworking  Ohioans.

Mike Carey opposes abortion rights. He co-sponsored legislation that would establish legal personhood at conception [7]—a measure that would amount to a nationwide abortion ban—and voted against legislation to codify Roe v. Wade and protect access to contraception [8].
