What has been checked
- Profile 4 entries links.ballotpedia (the only link on this record) returned empty content on fetch, consistent with the automated-access block other lanes hit on that site, so it was not used. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Patrick_Carney fetched cleanly instead and gave his Ohio State degrees and his post-legislature health care-law career at Porter Wright, confirmed by the firm's own biography and a practice-group announcement. No military service, civic/nonprofit board role, or a specific, sourceable city of residence (beyond 'has lived his entire life in Ohio') was found.

Where they stand
Government accountability
Paraphrase of a linked source, not their words:
Centered his campaign on transparency and accountability in state government: expanding public access to auditor information online, requiring the office to publish an audit's description, purpose and scope when the work begins, and creating a "Rapid Response Audit" division modeled on a similar Missouri program to quickly investigate credible fraud allegations.

JobsOhio oversight
Paraphrase of a linked source, not their words:
Argued Auditor Yost had not been aggressive enough overseeing JobsOhio, the state's privatized economic-development nonprofit, and said the auditor had a constitutional duty to audit it fully before a change in state law limited that authority.

Recorded votes
John Patrick Carney cast 1,630 Yea or Nay votes on the roll calls we hold, across 3 terms from 2009 to 2014, all in the Ohio General Assembly, from the Ohio Legislature. Each term opens to every roll call, with the question, the result, how John Patrick Carney voted and how the majority of their party voted.
| Term | Chamber | Yea | Nay | Did not vote | With party |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 130th General Assembly, 2013–2014 | Ohio House, district 22 | 424 | 185 | not recorded | 97% of 159 |
| 129th General Assembly, 2011–2012 | Ohio House, district 22 | 455 | 202 | not recorded | 95% of 221 |
| 128th General Assembly, 2009–2010 | Ohio House, district 22 | 355 | 9 | not recorded | 99% of 118 |
"With party" counts only roll calls on which most Republicans and most Democrats voted opposite ways. The Ohio Legislature records who voted Yea and who voted Nay and no one else, so an absence cannot be told from an abstention and neither is counted; only floor votes are listed.
