Trying to smear her qualifications to be governor, Republicans say Dr. Amy Acton quit on Ohio during the pandemic. Acting as GOP-endorsed candidate Ramaswamy's attack dog, State Senator McColley is repeating the lie...without mentioning the truth: Dr. Acton resigned because then House speaker/now convicted felon Larry Householder pressured her to approve legislation that she believed would endanger Ohioans.

As the First Energy bribery trial continues in Akron, Jon Husted's name keeps coming up.

Largely written by an unindicted planner of the 2020 fake electors scheme, the SAVE America Act was passed by the House on Feb. 11th 218 to 213, including Bob Latta's "Yes" vote. Inspired by Trump's debunked claim that non-citizens voting illegally helped steal the 2020 election from him, The Act is described as a solution in search of a problem. But it IS a potential problem for citizens who are eligible to vote. Click the button for Part One of a debate about the Act. Part Two is on this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u08aMQ-YN_Y

Rob McColley--Ohio Senate President and GOP candidate for Lt, Governor--and House Speaker Matt Huffman pressured the Ohio Ethics Commission to kill their rule requiring financial disclosures from board members of for-profit charter schools that receive $1.6 billion Ohio taxpayer dollars.

Senator Husted was interviewed on WFIN Findlay Radio on July 31, 2025. In talking about his support for the so-called Big Beautiful Bill, he spread misinformation about the national debt, taxes, cutting USAID, and NPR. Click the button below to hear Husted's statements followed by comments pointing out his misinformation.

In his op-ed appearing in the 11/26 Courier, State Rep Mathews criticized the Ohio Divest protest in Findlay on Nov. 15. But a 12/1 op-ed by a local community organizer not affiliated with Ohio Divest points out the misinformation in Mathews' column.

In the hour long Q & A in Cleveland carried on PBS, Moreno would declare "it's 100% true," "it's provable facts," or "you can look it up" while spreading disinformation and dodging questions about Trump's Big Bill, January 6th, ICE, the Ukraine war, and cutting Medicaid. To audience members who vocally disagreed, Moreno said "you can act childish...but that's just the fact."

After the failed attempt to place a referendum on the November ballot to let voters decide if S.B. 1 should be enacted, it went into effect on June 27th. The "Advance Ohio Higher Education Act" bans diversity initiatives at public universities, forbids faculty from striking, and gives politicians control over classroom content.

A bipartisan Senate Resolution to terminate the national emergency Trump declared to impose global tariffs was voted down 50 to 49. Senators Moreno and Husted voted to kill the resolution, effectively voting to allow Trump to continue his tariffs.

Even though over 1500 people submitted opponent testimony, the Governor signed S.B. 1 into law. After taking effect on June 27th, public colleges will no longer be allowed to have DEI practices on campus. A school violating the ban risks losing state funding. Also, classroom discussion will be regulated and faculty strikes prohibited. Click the button to read the Act for yourself.

The Ohio Governor and several other governors "joined President Trump in support" of returning education to the states. But how will shutting down the federal Dept of Education really impact Ohio?

The Senator talked to Fox News about Trump's tariffs: "the best years of this country are ahead of us." He also said Trump "is so popular in states like mine."

In response to a constituent's email or phone call critical of the Senator's actions, Moreno replies with a generic message that doesn't address the issue for which he was being criticized.

Matt Huffman sets Ohio House rules that restrict constituents from gathering in the House during a session and shortens the time for public notices of floor votes on bills from 24 hours to only ONE HOUR. Fifty-nine advocacy groups sign an open letter that reads: the rules "blatantly attack Ohioans First Amendment rights."

When Senator Jon Husted was Lieutenant Governor, he was called the "Golden Boy for First Energy." He actively lobbied for the bailout of House Bill 6, which became the "largest bribery, money laundering scheme ever perpetrated against the people of Ohio." Husted has not been charged and he denies any wrongdoing, From October 2019 through August 2025, AEP Ohio customers paid up to $30 more per year due to HB 6. Refunds have not been issued.

Less than a week after ICE agent Jonathan Ross fatally shot Minneapolis mother Renee Good, Senator Husted toed the Trump/Noem line when he said "ICE agents are moms and dads...they're part of law enforcement...to keep people safe." Click the button for the report from Steubenville, Ohio TV station WTOV.

On January 28, promoting his run for Ohio Attorney General, Auditor Keith Faber wrote an op-ed that appeared in newspapers around the state: "Renee Good wasn't an 'innocent.'" Days later, numerous readers wrote letters-to-the-editor critical of Faber. Here's the link to the op-ed: https://www.aol.com/articles/renee-good-wasnt-innocent-wont-093533850.html

While GOP politicians like Senator Moreno praise Trump's potentially unconstitutional military action, Sherrod Brown wonders why Washington is focused on foreign countries as hundreds of thousands of Ohioans struggle to make ends meet. And former Governor Kasich is troubled by the long-term impact on world peace.

No one in Ohio has avoided accountability more than Jon Husted. Now that Husted has kicked off his Senate campaign, David Pepper reminds us of Husted’s record as a long-time state official.

David Pepper looks at the history of gerrymandering around the country and reacts to the "travesty" of Ohio's new Congressional Districts map.

During the City Club of Cleveland's live "Conversation with Senator Moreno" on Aug. 21, Bernie praised Trump's policies, repeated misinformation, and slickly dodged opposition questions from the audience. Several times he was jeered by some when he said things like "[Trump] should get the Nobel Peace Prize."

Senator Husted supports Trump's Big Ugly Bill even though it would be bad for Ohio. But next year, we can vote him from office...which Husted may have made easier to do given his connections to the First Energy and ECOT scandals.

Frustrated constituents in Bowling Green hold a town hall with a cardboard cutout of MIA Congressman Latta.

Our 5th District Representative in Washington was invited to a town hall in Huron County to answer concerned voters' questions about what's happening in the federal government and its effect on farms, veterans, Medicaid and more. But Bob Latta did not bother to respond, so hundreds of constituents were left with an empty chair.

Despite over 1500 opposing testimonies and protests outside the Statehouse, Rep. Mathews joined 58 Republicans to pass S.B. 1 "Advance Ohio Higher Education Act" to supposedly stop "liberal indoctrination" at Ohio's public colleges. Then the bill's title was amended to include the names of over 2 dozen Reps, including Mathews.

Mathews claims to be "a fan" of the work Musk is doing. On his Facebook page, Mathews says he is "excited to help lead the charge" in the new DOGE Ohio House Caucus. He spoke about it on Toledo 13ABC.

Interviewed on Toledo TV-13, Senator Moreno talked about the confirmation of his "friend" Kash Patel as FBI Director; how Trump will end the Ukraine war; and how he (Bernie) is working "really hard all day" to make our lives better--without any specifics.

After Trump's flurry of executive orders favoring oil production over climate change concerns, our Rep in the House said he's "looking forward to working with President Trump to...make the U.S. energy dominant once again."
