On his 2006 site, Parker claimed he had previously "ran for US Congress against some of the wealthiest people in Southern Ohio." He ran a populist campaign, writing on his campaign site that voters "are working harder than ever, only to give their earnings to the oil companies, insurance companies and prescription drug companies of America. If you make less than $100,000 per year to support your family, your entire Bush tax cut went to oil, medicine and insurance." He supports a middle class tax cut for families that earn less than $100,000 per year, health insurance for every child in America and an expansion of the Medicare Program from age 65 to age 55 without raising taxes.
Parker seized on Jean Schmidt calling fellow Congressman Jack Murtha a "coward" declaring "Many years ago, when I grew up in a small town in southwestern Pennsylvania, Jack Murtha was my Congressman. I voted for Jack Murtha. Jean Schmidt, you're no Jack Murtha," Parker wrote. "This man took at least two bullets for his country and he is the last person that anybody would ever think about calling a coward—except Jean Schmidt. I cannot tell you how proud it makes me feel to be the only Democrat running against Jean Schmidt at a moment like this."
