United States Senator, Ohio
JD Vance is a United States Senator for the great state of Ohio. He was elected to the U.S. Senate in 2022 and sworn into office on January 3rd, 2023.
JD was born and raised in Middletown, Ohio, a once flourishing American manufacturing town where Ohioans could live content, middle-class lives on single incomes. Over time, many of those good jobs disappeared, and JD’s family suffered the effects along with many others.
Turbulence was common at home and at school. His grandmother, called Mamaw, was his saving grace. Her tough love and discipline kept him on the straight and narrow. A “blue dog” Democrat, she owned 19 handguns and nurtured a deep Christian faith in herself and her family. She died in 2005, shortly after JD enlisted in the United States Marine Corps.
JD went on to serve our nation in the Iraq War, then graduated from The Ohio State University and Yale Law School. He wrote a bestselling book, Hillbilly Elegy, which was turned into a Netflix movie. He also started a business dedicated to growing jobs and opportunity in the American heartland.
Partner, Bressman Law
I currently represent injury victims at BressmanLaw.
Before BressmanLaw, I worked for the Honorable Judge Frederick Nelson on the 10th District Court of Appeals of Ohio as a Judicial Staff Attorney. Mainly, I worked with the Judge in his authoring of opinions by reviewing the record and precedent.
After law school, I worked for the Ohio Attorney General's Office as an Assistant Attorney General in the Health and Human Services division. I represented the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services and the Ohio Department of Medicaid. My representation consisted of administrative hearings, administrative appeals to Common Pleas Court, and seeking injunctive relief against daycare license holders and Medicaid license holders.
