Russo must tell voters who she is
Is she a Pelosi puppet, a Biden loyalist or a squad supporter?
Ohio voters deserve to know where Allison Russo stands before casting their ballots on Nov. 2.
Thus far, Russo has hidden from voters in Ohio’s 15th Congressional District.
Russo hopes she can masquerade her political philosophy to evade the ire of the extreme wing of the Democrat Party.
Or maybe her political philosophy is isolated to whichever way the proverbial winds blow. So, who is Allison Russo?
As a state representative, Russo supported critical race theory-type legislation that designated racism a public health crisis, established educational programming to dismantle systemic racism and instituted hiring based in racial equity.
Does Russo agree with Alexandria Ocasio-cortez that America is a racist country? Constituents of Ohio’s 15th Congressional district should know.
It is reported that 79% of Americans support requiring government-issued photo identification in order to vote. And yet, Russo has been endorsed by a group that wants to eliminate voter ID laws. Will Russo side with the vast majority of Ohioans who support commonsense voting safeguards, or will she bow to the progressive super PACS that fund her?
Does Russo, like many of her Democrat colleagues, support abortion up until birth? As state representative, Russo voted against the Heartbeat Bill. She has been endorsed by and has taken thousands of dollars from groups that support infanticide and taxpayer funded abortions.
The Biden-harris administration and Democrat controlled Congress’ crazed spending spree is sending consumer prices skyrocketing and soaring inflation. Biden already spent $1.9 trillion, now he wants an additional $3.5 trillion. Would Russo vote for her Democrat colleagues’ reckless socialist spending spree?
Voters in OH-15 know Russo shares the elitist hypocrisy pervasive among all wings of her party. Rules for thee, but not for me: Russo claims that she is committed to getting dark money out of politics, but Russo is “honored” to have the support of the dark money group 3.14 Action.
As she purports to be a health advocate, she has taken thousands of dollars from pharmaceutical corporations that have raised the price of lifesaving medications. One of the companies that funded Russo even raised the price of medications during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Russo’s actions speak for themselves. But it’s past time for Allison Russo to come clean and tell Ohio voters who she is.
