Ohio deserves better Republicans

Ohio deserves better Republicans. They crossed the line from pretending to care about the state of Ohio to actively and purposefully breaking our state constitution. They are no longer a political party and Ohio Democrats need to stop pretending that they are. I want to vote Republican.

Give me a reason to vote for Ohio Republicans.

They have (and will retain) a supermajority in our state. With that kind of power, they could achieve almost anything. The challenge is that they don’t want to take on the difficult issues because it’s more important for Ohio Republicans to control the state.

Wrap your mind around all of the time and energy Ohio Republicans have spent on gerrymandering so that they continue to draw a guaranteed salary and gold-plated health benefits for themselves.

● Lifting residents out of poverty? Not important because the poor don’t donate to their re-election campaigns.

● Investing in renewable energy? Nope. Climate change isn’t real.

● Building our educational system? Not interested. Let’s shift public property taxes to private schools.

Ohio Republicans are selfish. They exist to serve themselves. Dream big. Give me a reason to vote Republican.
