“Not a Very Big Spike”: Eric Conroy Downplayed Pain at the Pump as Ohioans See Highest Labor Day Gas Prices on Record

As Ohio families face the highest Labor Day gas prices on record, they’re reminded that Eric Conroy has repeatedly downplayed the price-hiking impacts of the war, stating months ago:

And if you even look at gas prices per barrel, they’re not believing that this is going to last much longer either. I mean, there is a little spike, but not a very big spike.

“I really see [the war] probably coming to a conclusion here very soon, literally…”

“I really commend the president for what we’re doing…I think we’re moving it in the right direction.

REMINDER: The average OH-01 household has already spent an extra $519 in fuel costs six months into the war in Iran.

DCCC Spokesperson Riya Vashi:
“Cincinnati families can’t afford Eric Conroy. Conroy has made it crystal clear that he backs Republicans’ price-hiking agenda, no matter the cost to hardworking Ohioans. This November, Ohio voters will be poised to re-elect Greg Landsman, a proven leader who’s laser-focused on lowering costs at home.”
