Tonight, J.D. Vance and Tim Ryan have a town hall on Fox News. For most Ohioans, it’s already clear that Ryan should never be a senator. But in case you haven’t been following this race, here are 30 reasons why.
Ryan is a Failed Career Politician
- He’s a failed politician who has only passed 5 pieces of legislation in his 20 years in Congress, 3 of which were renaming federal buildings.
- The community Ryan is supposed to represent has suffered since he took office.
- Manufacturing: The Mahoning Valley has lost 24,900 manufacturing jobs since Ryan took office.
- Overdoses: From 2005 to 2020, overdoses in Mahoning County have increased 350%, in Trumbull County by 330%, and in Portage County by 400%.
- Household Income: Household income has severely lagged behind the rest of Ohio while Ryan has been in office.
- Poverty: From 2001 to 2020, poverty increased in Mahoning County, Trumbull County, and Portage County.
- Population: From 2000 to 2020, the population of both Mahoning County and Trumbull County shrank.
Ryan is Far-Left on Crime and Border Security
- In 2019, Ryan said he was “all for” releasing all "nonviolent criminals” — which includes fentanyl dealers.
- Ryan supports “decreasing the federal prison population by 50%.”
- The ACLU even thanked him for making “the ACLU commitment.”
- He wants to institute cashless bail nationwide; the same policy that’s been a disaster in New York.
- Ryan has “no opinion” on if judges should consider public safety when setting bail for criminal defendants.
- The Ohio Fraternal Order of Police, which represents 25,000 law enforcement officials, has endorsed J.D. Vance.
- He has aided and abetted drug cartels by allowing Joe Biden to throw the border wide open.
- Ryan backs ending ICE detainers and decreasing immigrant detention by 75%.
- When it comes to campaign donations, he is a hypocrite on the fentanyl crisis.
- He has done nothing as fentanyl, smuggled by Mexican cartels, poisons Americans at “record rates.”
Ryan Backs Inflation and Middle-Class Tax Hikes
- Ryan voted for Biden’s inflation-fueling spending that has led to real wages declining at the fastest pace in 40 years.
- He voted to raise the tax burden on Americans making as little as $20,000 a year through the Bidenflation Scam.
- He voted to raises taxes while claiming he wants to lower them.
- Over his political career, Ryan has voted for $6.74 TRILLION in higher taxes.
Ryan Wants to Wage War on American Energy
- Ryan voted to kill the Keystone pipeline.
- Ryan voted to allow the sale of our Strategic Petroleum Reserves to Communist China.
- He called plans to eliminate coal “amazing.”
- He wants to eliminate gas vehicles faster than Bernie Sanders: “If we’re waiting for 2040 to get rid of gas vehicles, we’re doing something terribly wrong.”
- While he wants Americans to give up their cars, he hypocritically drives a “gas guzzler.”
- Ryan’s a fraud who tells Ohio voters he supports the state’s natural gas industry, even though he actively opposed natural gas while he was running for president.
There’s Not a Proposal From Far-Left Special Interests Groups Ryan Doesn’t Like
- He votes with Biden 100% of the time.
- He calls Chuck Schumer his “future boss.”
- He was for bailing out student debt before he was against it – another reason he’s a fraud.
- Elizabeth Warren boasts about him as an extremist Democrat running for Senate who wants to “get rid of the filibuster.”
- He is too cowardly to stand by his record and actually campaign with Biden.
- He insists he’s “tough” on China, but uses Chinese spyware app TikTok for campaigning.
- He proudly campaigns with Randi Weingarten, a main proponent of anti-science mask mandates and school closures.
- Ryan supports abortion UNTIL BIRTH with no limits.
- He suggested government-funded abortion should be a tool to address “overpopulation.”
That’s just the start. Massive fraud Tim Ryan says “we need new leadership” … Vote for J.D. Vance.
