ON THE ISSUES

Supporting Law Enforcement

Rising crime in Ohio and across America stems from the attacks socialist Democrats have relentlessly waged against our police officers. It’s shameful and has no place in our communities. As a prosecutor and member of Ohio’s General Assembly, I have always supported our police and first responders. In my career, I have routinely met with law enforcement officials across Ohio and will always stand with the individuals protecting our communities. In the U.S. Senate, I will unapologetically BACK THE BLUE and stop any attempt to defund the police.
