Spending. If Sheriff "October 1st cover up" Lombardo & the cops were actually competent in their jobs we would have had less crime here. Spending money on our infrastructure & humanitarian causes will never be reckless in my eyes.

And a certain segment of our voters -- and maybe some Green Party voters, *cough cough* -- have decided that they will slam you for being a neoliberal corporatist DINO something or another if you dare support such spending, so this is yet another case where our many of our candidates are forced to tie one arm behind their back when going into election season...

We saw eight attack ads against Dems for every one positive Dem ad! It was all total lies but the weak minded heard them over and over so many times they believed them!

Dems in Ohio need to regroup and get feisty! Or we’ll be stuck with a DeWine for the next decade!

They made Val Demings out to be the wicked witch and lied and lied about her record. Dems didn't respond. R ads were at least 5 to 1 here and on all channels and on the radio. We started auto muting the ads, they were just sickening.
