Jameson Govoni is a co-founder of a hangover prevention company who had almost no public presence until his armed contractors arrived in the Middle East.
Now, he is at the center of a highly controversial Israeli and US-backed food distribution scheme in Gaza that experts say has been a disaster.

Kevin Coughlin, a self-described small business owner who's running for Ohio’s 13th Congressional seat, promises to put workers and families first.
“Never politicians, lobbyists, or special interests.”
