Six Months Later, Ohioans are Suffering from Carey-backed Iran War

Gas prices are above $4 per gallon and Mike Carey continues to fund Trump’s reckless war of choice
Today marks six months since Donald Trump dragged the country into a war against Iran that has no end in sight, and is forcing Americans to pay record August gas prices at the pump. No wonder public support for the war just hit a new low this week.

REMINDER: On the day he started the war, Trump declared it was “already a success.” Then a few weeks later in April, he proclaimed the war was a “Total and complete victory. 100%.” Six months later, three Ohioans have died overseas and all Carey’s constituents have seen is a string of broken promises.

It’s not just Trump who’s broken his promise to the American people, so has Mike Carey.

House Republicans also promised lower costs on day one and no more new wars. Yet Carey has voted five separate times to continue the war, and voted to support funding for it, making Ohioans pay the price as their gas prices skyrocket.

DCCC Spokesperson Riya Vashi:
“Ohioans oppose the war, are pissed about higher gas prices, and are ready to reject Mike Carey in November because of his vote to fund the war. Carey’s broken promises are going to cost him his job.”
