Romanchuk receives an endorsement
COLUMBUS — Americans for Prosperity-Ohio (AFP-OH) has announced support for Rep. Mark Romanchuk in his bid for State Senate and Thad Claggett for State House. Both Romanchuk and Claggett earned support from Ohio’s largest grassroots organization for their dedication to policies that improve the lives of all Ohioans.
Rep. Mark Romanchuk (HD-02) has shown leadership by championing policies that remove unnecessary barriers to opportunities, such as needless occupational licenses and onerous red tape. Romanchuk is also dedicated to expanding access to quality, affordable health care for all Ohioans.
Candidate Thad Claggett supports labor policy reforms that make it easier for Ohioans to provide for their families, a lower tax burden, and is actively opposed to programs that benefit a well-connected few, at the expense of hardworking taxpayers.
