COLUMBUS, Ohio — The Ohio Debate Commission hosted a debate between U.S. Representative Tim Ryan , attorney Morgan Harper and IT executive Traci “TJ” Johnson.In the opening remarks, Ryan emphasized the need to “shift the national perspective” on how the country and Ohio are going to move forward. The state needs to lead the way in bringing the supply chain back, taking on China and building “the things that will build our future.
Harper then responded that Ryan doesn’t actually need to take that money, which she said is really just bribes from corporations that are only “enriching defense contractors,” in Washington, D.C. It is a “real misunderstanding of what leadership should be and what it takes to have good economic development for the state of Ohio,” she said.
“In regards to stacking the court, I think we need to tread lightly because if we expand the court as Democrats, then when Republicans come in, they'll expand the court and then the court will lose its power,” she said. Johnson referenced that the filibuster has been used “historically to deny African-Americans social justice and civil rights.” The Republicans want to deter communities of color, seniors, LGBTQ+ community and students from voting, she added.
Harper started off talking about her history working at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau during the Obama administration, going after big banks that caused the foreclosure crisis. Ryan said he was proud of fighting against every trade agreement that came down the pipe except for renegotiating NAFTA. He fought tax cuts for the wealthiest people on numerous occasions and helped pass the Affordable Care Act, he said. He helped save the pension by working with Sen. Sherrod Brown, he said.
