Republicans have sold us on their counterfeit values and phony priorities for way too long.
Tax cuts for their largest contributors masking as economic policy; an Iraq debacle pretending to be a war on terror; saddling our children and grandchildren with a huge debt in the name of fiscal responsibility; a quarter trillion dollar payout to the drug and insurance industries under the guise of a medical benefit for our senior citizens.
Washington Republicans have made their choices. Now it?s our turn to make ours.
My values tell me that our government and our country owe you more than that.
Republicans in Ohio and Republicans in Washington have proved over and over again that they deserve to lose. But that's not enough.
We as Democrats must prove we're ready to lead. Democrats have to be bold. We have to tell voters about our plan to change the direction of our country?a higher minimum wage and help for small business, a plan to bring down prescription drug prices for their parents and college tuition for their children, a chance for their families to reach their dreams.
That?s why, in the great tradition of Howard Metzenbaum and John Glenn, I am running for the United States Senate.
My campaign for the United States Senate is about providing opportunity for Ohio?for all of Ohio:
I will represent the people of Ohio?not the pharmaceutical companies, not the oil interests, not the insurance companies.
I will represent Republicans, Democrats, and Independents?not do the bidding of the guy in the White House, whatever his party affiliation.
I will continue to wage the fight?now in a larger arena, in the United States Senate?for fair trade to protect American workers on Main Street, not sell out American workers to Wall Street.
I will continue to wage the fight?now in a larger arena, in the United States Senate?for a health care system which is affordable and accessible to everyone. . . Whether they work in a minimum wage job or serve as a corporate vice president.
Today, I announce my candidacy for the United States Senate. Join me, and together we will change the direction of our great country.
Thank you.
