My Bio
I'm John Hancock, a Cincinnati native running for Congress in Ohio’s First District as a Libertarian. Since joining the Libertarian Party in 2022, I’ve served as a county officer and national delegate for Ohio. In 2024, I was named to the All-Ohio Academic Team. This recognition is directly linked to my membership in the Phi Theta Kappa honors society. Awarding students for academic excellence and leadership, earning recognition from the Ohio Senate as "one of Ohio's finest citizens."
As a working-class American, I’m an Engineering Technician and part-time engineering student, balancing a full-time job with my studies. I’m a Christian with ink on my skin, a passion for fitness, music, and travel, and a commitment to serving my community through volunteering at organizations like BLOC Ministries, which help the homeless and victims of human trafficking. My name means liberty, and I believe politicians should reflect the people they serve. I bring real-world experience to the table, understanding the challenges everyday Americans face.
My campaign is about reducing government waste, fighting overreach, and restoring power to the people. “Liberty runs in my family.” Vote for me to ensure our government represents the interests of hardworking, everyday people like us.
My Key Issues
Taxes and Overspending
The Left wants taxes for big social programs, often ignoring waste. The Right funnels your money into defense and subsidies, despite talk of fiscal discipline. Both rely on your paycheck to push their agendas. As a Libertarian, I believe Taxation is Theft. If the government needs funds, we have to stop increasing our national debt. I'll fight to cut taxes, slash bloated budgets, and let you control your future. That’s freedom. That’s America.
Government Transparency
You deserve to know what your government’s doing. Americans are fed up with secrets, especially after scandals like Epstein, where hidden deals and elite cover-ups mocked our trust. I’ll fight for a government that hides nothing. Every dollar, every decision, fully exposed. I’ll push for open records, end backroom deals, and declassify documents without bias, no matter who they expose. Unlike those who thrive in the shadows, I’m here to bring light and transparency is the core of a free America.
Liberty, Not Lobbyists
“Liberty Not Lobbyists” is my promise to never cave to special interests. I’m here for you, not them, with every deal and dollar wide open for all to see. I’ll push for crystal-clear records, end backroom schemes, and make sure your voice, not big money, calls the shots. Unlike the sellouts hiding their bought loyalty, I stand firm on liberty, not lobbyists, which keeps America free.
