FINDLAY (WLIO) -Â The Republican candidate for Ohio's U.S. Senate seat that is up for grabs this fall is making a stop in our region today.
Bernie Moreno paid a visit to Findlay, stopping at Dietsch's Ice Cream for a cool treat and some conversation with potential voters. Moreno is a long-time businessman who purchased his first car dealership in 2005 and grew that investment into a large group of car dealerships. Endorsed in the race by former President Trump, Moreno says Ohioans need a senator who will work for them to keep and restore manufacturing jobs and lower prices. Moreno talked about Sherrod Brown and his supporters focusing attacks on him and his track record at his car dealerships.
"After 50 years in elected office, Sherrod Brown has never had a job in a private sector, and he knocks me for having a job. The reality is that he cannot defend his record. He's got a hideous voting record for Ohio. He even votes far left, more so than Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders, the most radical left-est United States Senate. Rather than defend his record and talk about how he should get six more years after 50 in elected office, his best line of attack is attacking me. It's pretty pathetic," stated Moreno.
Joining Moreno on his swing through Findlay was longtime Republican Senator from the state of Wyoming, John Barrasso. He says Moreno knows what needs to be done in Washington to help Ohioans and the rest of the country.
"Visiting with folks in the street, visiting with business leaders, and visiting with people around the state of Ohio, we are doing everything that we can do to get Bernie to the United States Senate. He is going to be a voice of reason. He knows that we can't live with the open borders and all these people coming in illegally—all 10 million of them. He knows Ohio families can't live when prices are 20 percent higher than they were when Joe Biden came into office," added Barrasso.
Moreno will face longtime incumbent Democrat Sherrod Brown in the November general election.
