He gave up that position in 2018 after the Dems did well in those midterms.
He has taken NRA money to about 51K.

snip-Stivers has received about $51,000 from various gun-rights groups since his first run for Ohio’s 15th Congressional District seat in 2008. In total, he’s received about $30,000 from the NRA’s “political victory” Political Action Committee (PAC). The rest of the cash comes from gun-rights groups such as Safari Club International and the National Shooting Sports Foundation, according to FEC records..

His wiki and NRA section-"Gun control
Stivers voted against legislation to require universal background checks for firearm purchases.[16] He voted in favor of making concealed-carry permits issued in one state valid in other states.[16] He voted against a measure to grant law enforcement agencies additional time to conduct firearm-purchase background checks.[16].


And because I am physically about 18 inches shorter then he is, and he was not looking in the North Market in Short North neighborhood of Columbus he walked right into the hand truck of political pamphlets I was moving. I ran over the tip of his right foot. Mutual apologies were exchanged.

He is smart and I think he could be Speaker of the House if the GOP wins in 2028.
