Rep. Steve Chabot beats Aftab Pureval in Ohio 1st race, AP reports

Chabot has been in Congress all but two years since 1995. Pureval is the Hamilton County’s Clerk of Courts.

Chabot says he supports entrepreneur-friendly policies, recent tax code changes and increased defense spending, but he also wants to reduce the national debt.

Pureval said his priorities are affordable health care, protecting social security and Medicare, and ending “gridlock and dysfunction” in Washington.
