# Carey Coleman **Carey Coleman** is a former WNIR talk-radio host and ex-TV meteorologist, and the 2026 Republican nominee for OH-13 (Akron/Canton). He won the May 5, 2026 GOP primary with ~47% over a four-candidate field, but enters the general as a significant underdog after Ohio's 2025 redraw moved the district to ~D+4 and prompted 2024 nominee Kevin Coughlin to drop out.
