Whether It’s Working To Overrule Ohioans Or Putting Themselves First, None of The Republicans In The #OHSEN Field Are Fighting For Ohioans
Columbus, OH – Ahead of tonight’s Republican #OHSEN debate, Ohio Federation of Teachers’ President and Ohio AFL-CIO Secretary Treasurer Melissa Cropper and Ohio State Representative and OBGYN Dr. Anita Somani discussed how none of the Republican #OHSEN candidates are fighting for Ohioans.
Whether it’s working to overrule Ohioans by supporting a national abortion ban or putting their interests ahead of Ohio workers, Bernie Moreno, Frank LaRose, and Matt Dolan have made it clear they are more focused on helping themselves than working for Ohioans.
“All of these out-of-touch millionaires have put themselves ahead of Ohio workers every chance they get – Bernie Moreno was even found liable for wage theft after shredding documents he was legally required to keep to get out of paying his workers the overtime they earned,” said Ohio Federation of Teachers’ President Melissa Cropper. “We can’t trust Moreno, LaRose, or Dolan to fight for Ohio workers because we’ve seen over and over again that they always put their own interests and corporate interests first and workers last.”
“Bernie Moreno, Frank LaRose, and Matt Dolan have all said they would overrule Ohioans by voting for a national abortion ban in the Senate,” said Dr. Anita Somani, OBGYN and Ohio State Representative. “We protected reproductive rights last November and we have to do it again this November by defeating whichever candidate comes out of the primary next month.”
