I agree with President Trump’s remarks today at Whirlpool that we need to “buy American and hire American.” Our country must take on China and protect our manufacturing workers and jobs while expanding our ability to manufacture goods and products in the United States. 🇺🇸🇺🇸.

There was overwhelming support today from the Erie county community to pay respects during the funeral procession of fallen Navy Corpsman Max Soviak. We will be forever grateful to Corpsman Soviak for his service to our country.

You’re welcome @PersistOhio, since Warren never made it to Ohio, and she lost her home state, I figured you all deserved a participation trophy for your efforts.
We appreciate the recognition, Rep. Swearingen (@DJSwearg89) but if your opening statement includes citing tweets, your argument is poor.

The 89th House District has lost a hero, Navy Corpsman Max Soviak from Berlin Heights, who was killed in action serving his country in Afghanistan. We will be forever grateful for Max and his service to our country. Please pray for his family and loved ones.

“Our candidates.” But the voters don’t deserve to know about that at the ballot box.
We’re proud that our candidates won 3 of the last 4 Sup Court races by making clear that they would bring an independent approach to cases before them. As opposed to being a “backstop” for their party. Your legislation is an insult to voters and would undermine. .

It was a privilege to be at Nasa Plum Brook Station for the ceremony to rename it the Neil Armstrong Testing Facility. Neil Armstrong is an American hero, and I think this statement summarized him the best, “it was never about him, it was always about the mission.”

The House passed hb 669 last week to help main street businesses and workers during and after Covid. I introduced this legislation along with @realJeffLaRe. We have many businesses in our district who will benefit from this legislation. Here are my remarks from the House floor.

Don worked so hard for the people of his district. He genuinely cared about all of them. Rest In Peace, Don.
Don Manning was a fighter for the Valley. Today, members of Manning’s family and area leaders gathered for the signing of legislation naming a local bridge in his honor. Don will always be remembered. May he rest in peace.

The epitome of journalism ethics and standards 👇.
Nice to get an email message from Gov. DeWine today on my birthday letting me know he's signed gerrymandered congressional maps rigging elections 11-2 for the GOP, that he has no sense of honor or dignity left, and doesn't give a shit about representational democracy. HBD to me!.

Congrats to @berniemoreno on his victory. He will be a great Senator and will put the priorities of our country first. I was impressed with how much Bernie campaigned in the 89th HD the last two election cycles. It’s clear he values the citizens of this district.
I’m so grateful for the resounding support of Ohioans in all 88 counties. I thank Matt Dolan and Frank LaRose for a spirited primary contest. I look forward to uniting our party and working to send Sherrod Brown packing in November!.

Thank you, @Drewbueno, for highlighting this pivotal piece of legislation.
If H.B. 327 passes, blue-collar Ohioans will see better jobs and higher wages — because big businesses won’t be able to rely on cheap, illegal immigrant labor. While the bill would ideally apply to all businesses, not just big ones, it’s a great start.

Many American bankruptcies are a product of medical bills for an unexpected illness. This week in the Ohio House, we voted to stop the practice of surprise billing, which is an extra bill sent to a patient after a procedure for an expense which the patient was unaware beforehand
