And then they elect this👆! It's deeply troubling that Ohio had the second-highest drug overdose death rate in the United States in 2019, with 46.3 deaths per 100,000 people. These tragedies are often attributed to synthetic opioids like fentanyl. We must prioritize finding solutions to combat the opioid epidemic that has ravaged too many families and communities in Ohio and throughout the nation.
The statistics on gun violence in Ohio, as reported by the Gun Violence Archive, are unacceptable. In 2021 alone, Ohio had 1,351 gun deaths and 1,790 injuries. This is a higher rate than the national average, with 12.4 deaths per 100,000 people compared to the national rate of 11.9 deaths per 100,000 people. We must come together to address these issues and work towards common-sense gun reform.
You must take action to support working-class Ohioans. Instead of focusing on criticizing other states, one nothing burger investigation after another and gas stoves, focus on creating opportunities and policies that will uplift those who are struggling in your state. DO SOMETHING for the working-class Americans. How is this nonsense of you complaining here about other states here is going to help anyone, GYM?
