John Patrick Carney is a former Democratic member of the Ohio House of Representatives, representing the 22nd District from 2009 to 2014. In September 2013, Carney announced his intention to run for Auditor of the State of Ohio in the 2014 election, which he would ultimately lose.
Carney is the eleventh of twelve children and has lived his entire life in Ohio. In 1998 he received his undergraduate degree from Ohio State University and in 2001 he received a J.D. from the same school. He has a wife, Jennifer, and two young daughters. He is a health care attorney and currently is employed at Porter, Wright, Morris and Arthur Limited Liability Partnership.
Carney first decided to run for the Ohio House in 2006 when the 22nd District was first considered a potential pick-up for Democrats. Carney ended up losing to incumbent Jim Hughes by about 3,000 votes.
With his strong showing in 2006, Carney decided to run again in 2008. This time, however, Hughes was out of the race. After facing no opposition in the primary, Carney went on to face insurance agent Michael Keenan in the general election. This time around, Carney was the focus of many negative attack ads. In the end, Carney proved victorious the second time around, besting Keenan by 8,500 votes.
In his freshman term, Speaker of the House Armond Budish appointed Carney to Finance and Appropriations, including the Subcommittee on Transportation and Justice, as well as the Health, Insurance, and Transportation and Infrastructure Committees.
In 2010, Carney ran for reelection against Republican Angel Rhodes, Libertarian Mark Noble and Corey Ansel of the Party for Socialism and Liberation. He went on to beat Rhodes by about 3,500 votes. Currently, he serves as ranking member of the Insurance Committee, and as a member of the Finance and Appropriations Committee and the Transportation Subcommittee, and the Health and Aging Committee. He is also a member of the Joint Committee on Agency Rule Review, and the Joint Legislative Committee on Medicaid Technology and Reform.
