  • Supporting law enforcement

    One of my most important jobs is getting resources to Ohio, that includes funding for law enforcement. I’ll use any tool available to make sure Ohio gets our fair share, or more, of federal resources.
  • Judge who will hear Trump’s case is the pot calling the defendant incendiary
    Judge Chutkan has routinely issued politically charged rulings and made incendiary statements of her own while presiding over some 30 cases involving Trump supporters charged in connection with the Jan. 6, 2021, melee at the U.S. Capitol. 
  • Stopping the invasion at our southern border
    A few months ago, Ohio Senator Sherrod Brown remarked in an interview that voters don’t care about the issue. Senator, you are dead wrong.  The voters I encounter on a daily basis care very deeply and are very concerned about the threat posed by a completely open border.
  • Media coverage of Ukraine war dwindles
    The bottom line is that media attention to Ukraine continues to stagnate and fade in combination with growing economic woes in the U.S. and Europe. This suggests the likelihood that it will be increasingly difficult to maintain public support in the United States and Western Europe for Ukraine without a major breakthrough that returns the war to the media forefront.
  • Now is time to rescue American autoworkers
    Ohioans have too much to lose. Our state builds more internal combustion engines than any other in our union. Now is the time to reject Joe Biden's disastrous obsession with electric vehicles and rescue the American auto industry.
  • Illegal immigration emerges as Democrats’ Achilles heel
    Immigration has emerged as a key wedge issue that may cost the Democrats the White House and their U.S. Senate Majority next fall.
  • IRS must better protect taxpayers
    One particularly egregious event in recent history was the unauthorized disclosure of private, legally-protected IRS data to online news source ProPublica – an incident of which little has been revealed, despite an ongoing, years-long investigation by multiple agencies.   
  • Lonely and hurting
    Many people today are living emotionally all alone, even while surrounded by people. And that works for them, most of the time. But once in a while, the loneliness catches up with them, and they realize they need others.
  • Meet the activist wife who networks the anti-MAGA White House
    Attorney General Merrick B. Garland is the public face of the government’s unprecedented effort to identify, arrest, and prosecute those connected to the Jan. 6, 2021 protest at the Capitol. But the person handling the day-to-day management of the one of the largest and most politically freighted efforts in the history of American law enforcement has largely flown under the radar: Matthew Graves, the U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia.
  • Finding a responsible way to fund government
    Instead of going on TV or Twitter to fight, my priority is working with my colleagues to find real solutions. We need to do more than just keep the government open — we also need to address our overwhelming $33 trillion national debt. Our debt keeps climbing, putting our children’s futures in jeopardy. More than that, it’s putting our national security in jeopardy.
  • Speaker's ouster will set back the conservative agenda
    This decision is particularly abhorrent given the conservative victories that have been achieved this year under Speaker McCarthy – including the largest spending cut in the history of our nation alongside the biggest reforms to America’s welfare system in two decades signed into law.
  • Life is about making choices
    I voted yes on the Spending Reduction and Border Security Act, a conservative solution to slash wasteful government spending, secure the border, and keep the government open for 45 days while we continue to debate and pass our funding bills. Every single Democrat in the House voted against it, killing an opportunity to secure our border.
  • Beijing’s House of the Dragon
    While Russia’s Game of Thrones involves warring factions jockeying for loyalty to the throne, China’s House of the Dragon is about maintaining dominance, legitimacy, and power through violence, scheming, and control of power. But what does it all mean?
  • Feinstein’s Senate replacement assures chaotic 2024 bid
    Feinstein is gone, but her age, 90, and her vast $64 million wealth exclusive of prime real estate holdings, raise questions about imposing term limits, and whether millionaires married to billionaires can fairly represent the average citizen.
  • Ensuring first responders get Social Security
    Laws dating back to the 1970s and 1980s prevent almost 250,000 Ohioans from receiving the Social Security benefits they have earned through their service.
