CLEVELAND — On this week’s episode of Ohio Has Issues, Stephanie Haney and Mike Polk Jr. are joined by two of the three Republican candidates who are hoping to run against Ohio’s US Senator Sherrod Brown in the upcoming November election, along with a season political reporter who is very tapped into what’s going on with this particular race.
Current Ohio state Senator Matt Dolan and current Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose clarify their stances on abortion and comment on the Bernie Moreno overtime wage lawsuit. NBC senior political reporter Henry J. Gomez fills us on in the money that’s being sent in Ohio’s US Senate race, and more.
Plus, enjoy the moment 36 minutes in where Mike jumps up from his seat and his microphone never quite recovers!
Note: Mr. Bernie Moreno was invited to be a part of this conversation, and while his campaign initially agreed to a conversation, the campaign stopped responding and could not be reached once it came time to schedule the interview.
Next week, we'll hear more from Stephanie's conversations with Dolan and LaRose related to transgender issues and redistricting, and Mike will talk with Signal Cleveland Managing Editor Mark Naymik.
