On The Campaign Trail

A fractious, three-way Republican primary for the chance to unseat Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown this November is culminating in Ohio, where candidates are divided more over their pasts than their policy positions. Cleveland businessman Bernie Moreno, Secretary of State Frank LaRose and state Sen. Matt Dolan all favor some level of federal abortion restriction, a position they don’t see as running counter to Ohio voters’ resounding approval last year of constitutional reproductive healthcare guarantees. All three also favor tough treatment of immigrants lacking permanent legal status, restrictions on gender-transition surgery for transgender minors and limiting the teaching of certain sexuality. The Republican candidates also believe their ideas and their party are better for the economy.
