Chris Long is the President of Ohio Christian Alliance. Before joining OCA, he pastored for a number of years in Northeastern Ohio.
 
 Having taught his congregation the importance of civic responsibility, Chris himself ran for public office for Akron City Council in 1999, and was the Republican candidate for the 47th Ohio House seat in 2000. He also served as an advisor to the Stow Citizens Committee that fought a challenge by the ACLU which threatened the City of Stow with a lawsuit stating that the city seal which contained a Christian cross and open Bible was unconstitutional.
 
 This experience served him well in preparing him to accept the Executive Directorship of the Christian Coalition of Ohio in the summer of 2002. Chris quickly prepared the Coalition for the 2004 Presidential Election in which the Christian Coalition of Ohio distributed over 2-1/2 million voter guides statewide in all 88 counties.  In the past three elections, OCA has distributed a total of over 5 million voter guides.
 
 The Alliance's work in educating the values voter garnered the interest of some 20 different international publications, including the Guardian of London, the Wall Street Journal, ABC of Australia, and ABC World News Tonight.
