CINCINNATI, OH— Today, Ohio Republican Party Chairman Alex Triantafilou joined Congressional candidate Orlando Sonza and Hamilton County Chairman Russell Mock for an event at the Hamilton County GOP Headquarters to urge voters in southwest Ohio to “Bank Your Vote” ahead of the March 19 Primary Election.

“Thanks to strong Republican leadership and our commitment to fighting for election integrity, every Ohioan can be confident in the security of their ballot,” said Chairman Triantafilou. “Whether you are voting early, in-person, via absentee ballot, or on Election Day, every Ohio Republican needs to turn up and vote for Donald J. Trump and their preferred Republican candidates up and down the ballot.”

In 2023, the Ohio Republican Party partnered with the Republican National Committee to launch the “Bank Your Vote” initiative to increase Republican participation in early voting in 2024.

Triantafilou also laid out the priorities for the Ohio Republican Party going in to 2024.

“2024 is a year of opportunity for Ohio Republicans. We have the opportunity to help put a Republican back in the White House, take control of the U.S. Senate by defeating Sherrod Brown, expand our majority in the U.S. House of Representatives and grow the Republican majority on the Ohio Supreme Court. There is much work to do, and we are taking nothing for granted.”

Working with county GOP organizations, grassroots leaders, and candidates across Ohio, the Ohio Republican Party is well poised to secure another “Red Wave” in the Buckeye State in 2024.

DEAR EDITOR: Politics is everywhere, and many decisions elected officials make have at least a degree of political consideration.

However, this country has a rich tradition of putting aside political differences in the face of disaster and tragedy. Unfortunately, among the divisive rhetoric of the Biden Administration, who calls their opponents “extremists” and even “semi-fascists,” this point seems to have been lost.

On February 3, 2023, the disaster in East Palestine rocked not only the community, but the country at large. Journalists, elected officials, government agencies, and humanitarian groups all quickly responded to give this disaster the attention it deserves.

It seems the only person who was not willing to help was Joe Biden. Rather than taking time away from his many vacations to help the people of East Palestine, he made vague promises of visiting “at some point.”

Now it is a year later, with a Presidential Election less than a year away, and Biden has now decided to come in at the 11^th hour for his campaign photo op. As an Ohioan from the completely opposite side of the state (Hamilton County), it is devastating to watch the way this President is now trying to resuscitate his collapsed presidency for political expedience at the expense of people in northeast Ohio.

It is well known that East Palestine is a largely conservative area of the state. The Commander-and-Chief should have been able to set that fact aside to help people in need in a timely manner.

Despite this half-hearted attempt to save face, this is clearly just another failure from the most divisive President of my lifetime.

COLUMBUS—Today, as the Presidential Primary Election officially kicks off in Iowa, Ohio Lieutenant Governor Jon Husted has cast his 2024 endorsement for President Donald J. Trump.

“The Ohio Republican Party looks forward to working with Lieutenant Governor Husted to deliver another major victory for Donald J. Trump here in Ohio. Husted’s strong background in workforce development and improving Ohio’s business climate fits hand in glove with President Trump’s ‘America First’ agenda.”—Chairman Alex M. Triantafilou, Ohio Republican Party

Previously, Husted served as a delegate to the 2020 Republican National Convention and co-chair of Trump’s re-election campaign in Ohio.

The Ohio Republican Party State Central and Executive Committee endorsed President Trump on December 1, 2023.

Today is National Law Enforcement Appreciation Day, and Ohioans across the Buckeye State are reminded of the selfless sacrifice and bravery of all of Ohio’s police officers.

Unfortunately, Sherrod Brown’s record shows that he does not share that appreciation.

The reality is, when law enforcement needed support the most, far-left liberal Sherrod Brown caved and appeased the anti-police wing of his party, aligning himself with the likes of Cory Booker and Kamala Harris.

Now that he is up for re-election, Brown wants nothing more than Ohioans to forget that he was an original co-sponsor of Democrats’ Justice In Policing Act of 2020 which, among other things, aimed to limit qualified immunity for police officers. Not to mention his claim that policing ‘reinforces’ racism as he demonized the brave officers who defend our communities.

Years later, Brown’s inability to stand up for law enforcement continues to have a ripple effect, with cities like Cleveland continuing to lose police officers and departments being dangerously understaffed.

Bottom Line: If Sherrod Brown was a friend of law-enforcement, he wouldn’t have turned his back on them and aligned with the far-left policies of Cory Booker and Kamala Harris.
