  • Medina Gazette: “From [retired Teamster Jack Palush’s] perspective, Moreno doesn’t seem qualified to be in the U.S. Senate. Palush thinks Moreno won’t represent him or the middle-class working people. Rather, he believes Moreno will represent a lot of special interest groups and corporate interests.”
