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.
