If you recall the Ohio Republican attacks on organized labor, you'll certainly remember those that supported SB 5. Josh Mandel voiced his support to cut the rights of teachers, nurses, fire fighters, police officers, and state workers. Gov. John Kasich and Shannon Jones pushed SB 5's passage. Here in Worthington, Mike Duffey turned his back on the teachers, police, fire fighters, nurses, and state employees that are his neighbors so that he could vote for and support this radical GOP legislation. Duffey hasn't done much for his hometown. Duffey continues to vote for the extreme agenda supported by Kasich, and the far right Republicans. Kasich and his cronies have cut funding to public schools, cities, villages, and counties, in order to give more tax cuts to corporate buddies.
Democrat Donna O'Connor, is Duffey's opponent, in Ohio House District 21.
Donna O'Connor has this statement on her website:
...I need your support to continue our fight inside the
Statehouse for the future of public education, for economic
opportunities for our middle class and for equal opportunities for my
children and yours.
The current
leadership in the Statehouse continues to support legislation that
suppresses voters and dramatically cuts funds to local municipalities
and public schools. And while budgets are shrinking for the average
taxpayer, politicians continue to pass legislation providing loopholes
and tax exemptions for the most wealthy and connected Ohioans....
It is time to put someone in office that cares about the middle class, and our public schools.
