Why Is Derek Merrin Abandoning Northwest Ohio to Jet Off to Dallas, Texas?

Merrin continues to prove he will put Ohioans last

Gas prices have hit a record high, increasing pain at the pump.

Health care premiums are through the roof, leaving Ohioans with impossible choices.

Billions of dollars are being spent on a war of choice overseas, further spiking everyday costs.

So why is Derek Merrin leaving Northwest Ohio to jet off to Dallas, Texas instead of fighting to help the voters he hopes to represent?

Instead of hearing from hardworking Ohioans who just experienced the most expensive Labor Day weekend at the pump in history, with gas at more than $4/gallon, Merrin will be spending his time in the Lone Star State this week. It might be time to ask Merrin: why won’t he ever put Ohioans first? 

DCCC Spokesperson Riya Vashi:
“Northwest Ohioans are sick and tired of Derek Merrin’s empty promises. While hardworking Ohioans pay more for gas, groceries, and health care, Merrin will be partying in Texas with his billionaire bosses. OH-09 voters can’t afford Derek Merrin and will soundly re-elect Marcy Kaptur in November.”
