Honored to receive Growth Energy’s 2026 Fueling Growth Award for my work championing biofuels. Nearly half of NW Ohio farmers, producers, and growers’ income comes from biofuels that utilize corn and soy. I will always fight for those who make and grow what makes and grows America.

“We are fed up with ICE & DHS telling us lies… NO MORE TRAFFIC STOPS BY ICE.” Wilber’s lawyer says he was sideswiped and shot by ICE without any clue who they even were — and ICE then immediately lied about what happened (again)

Tariffs are taxes on the American people. They increase the cost of everything. Rising prices especially hit hard in my home state of Ohio, the largest exporter of goods to Canada in the Great Lakes region. Our Great Lakes economy is the third largest in the world, amounting to over $6 Trillion.

Great to be back in Toledo at the Indiana Avenue Baptist Church last night! The cost of groceries, utilities, housing, and healthcare keeps going up — while too many working families are being asked to get by with less.

Global oil prices surged past $100 a barrel as the war in Iran drags on, and we are paying the price at the pump. The President said relief won't come for a “little bit longer.” Hardworking Ohio families need action now, not in a few months—this economy is unaffordable, and there isn’t time to wait.

Jon Stewart hit the nail on the head. For decades, politicians used 9/11 heroes as photo-ops, only to turn their backs when those same first responders needed healthcare for toxins that destroyed their bodies. Basic human decency shouldn't require a public shaming campaign!
