Josh Mandel and Social Security — the truth is out. Mandel admits he would increase the Social Security retirement age. [NBC/AARP Debate, 10/25/12] And even supports deep cuts to Medicare. [Center for Budget and Policy Priorities, 7/16/11] Ohio seniors need a Senator they can count on to protect Social Security and Medicare. Josh Mandel: a…
During today’s U.S. senate debate, the same Josh Mandel who claims there’s nothing more important than “jobs, jobs, jobs” doubled down on his opposition to the auto rescue, refused to support Sherrod’s bill to protect American manufacturers by cracking down on Chinese currency manipulation, touted phony accomplishments in the Treasurer’s office and laughably pledged to take his infamous unqualified political cronies with him to Washington, if elected.
The Friends of Sherrod Brown campaign released a new ad today, “Don’t Believe,” featuring Ohio workers admonishing false attacks on Sherrod by Josh Mandel and his special interest friends, praising Sherrod’s leadership on the auto rescue and China currency and denouncing Josh Mandel for opposing the auto rescue and Sherrod’s efforts to protect American workers by making China play fair.
If you thought Josh Mandel’s refusal to do his job only went as far as blowing off the Board of Deposit … boy, were you wrong. A new report by Salon has found that of the eight state boards that the Treasurer is charged with attending, Josh Mandel blew off every single meeting of every single one during his first year in office.
“Since he was first elected to office, Senator Sherrod Brown has been a great friend to Ohio firefighters,” said Michael Taylor, Vice President of OAPFF District 3. “From fighting back against the ruthless attacks on collective bargaining rights to supporting the FIRE Act and SAFER programs, which help to keep our families and communities safe, Sherrod has always stood with firefighters and emergency personnel. The men and women of OAPFF District 3 are proud to work to re-elect Sherrod this November.”
Following a recent report revealing that he dodged paying taxes on his 2010 campaign staff during his campaign for treasurer, Josh Mandel is out with another attack ad against Sherrod Brown in an attempt to distract voters from his well earned reputation as a politician who can’t be trusted.
“There is no greater friend to Ohio’s African American community and the middle class than Senator Sherrod Brown,” said Rep. Sandra Williams, President of the Ohio Legislative Black Caucus. “From leading the charge to rescue Ohio’s auto industry, expanding access to affordable health care and battling against efforts to limit voting rights, Sherrod has always fought for issues that matter to our community. For being a tireless advocate for Ohio’s African Americans, the Ohio Legislative Black Caucus is proud to support Senator Sherrod Brown for reelection.”
