Joy Villa has endorsed Christina Hagan in the 2018 Republican primary for Ohio's 16th Congressional District . Hagen is currently a Republican member of the Ohio House of Representatives.
According to Ballotpedia, Ohio's 16th Congressional District is heavily Republican. The current incumbant, Republican Jim Renacci (who has announced he is going to run for Governor in 2018), won the last two elections with more than 63% of the vote.
To me, it appears Hagen is the underdog. Her Republican primary opponent, Anthony Gonzalez, has $612,296 cash on hand. Hagen has $123,020 cash on hand. Nonetheless, contrary to this money disparity, Hagen's press release states she is currently the the frontrunner in the Republican primary.

Joy Villa endorses Christina Hagan for U.S. Congress in OH-16
6 Dec 2017
#1 Billboard Recording Artist, Trump 2020 Advisory Board member and political commentator at Fox News voices support for pro-Trump, anti-Establishment OH-16 congressional candidate Christina Hagan.
Joy Villa announced her support for current Ohio Representative Christina Hagan who is running for the state’s 16th congressional district.
“I am so excited to announce my support of pro-Trump congressional candidate Christina Hagan. Our President needs a new team of America First champions in Congress like Christina who will fight for the people’s MAGA agenda.”
Representative Christina Hagan was an Ohio TV and radio surrogate on the successful presidential campaign of President Donald J. Trump who carried her state by over 8% and county by over 17%. Before the end of 2016, Hagan was tapped to Chair the Electoral College in Ohio for President-Elect Donald Trump.
Joy Villa adds:
“Christina inspires me as a female conservative champion who loves God and country and wants nothing more than to serve our President and the people of this great country. Let’s send Christina to drain the swamp and fight for the changes we voted for November 8, 2016.”
Christina Hagan is currently the frontrunner in the Republican primary, which will take place on May 8, 2018.
