2022 OH Senate race: on Budget & Economy
Bernie Moreno:
Make unemployment benefits a mechanism of last resort
Policy makers wanted people to stay home and avoid the workplace during the pandemic, so they paid people to do so. This work disincentive will harm our workers in the long-term because displaced workers will have a harder time on a new job, as they
will have lost valuable skills during their time away from work. We need to design and implement smart policies that make unemployment benefits a mechanism of last resort and provide meaningful incentives for people to get back to work now.

Bernie Moreno:
Put our fiscal house in order; cut spending
We see reckless federal spending, even by Washington, D.C., standards. Trillions of dollars, in the name of COVID relief, are being pumped into an already over-stimulated economy. The impact will be clear: as demand artificially
goes up, prices will follow, so the inflation rate will skyrocket and make everything more expensive. We need to put our fiscal house in order and stop spending money we don't have.

Matt Dolan:
Supports bipartisan infrastructure bill that Trump opposes
Dolan came out in support of the bipartisan infrastructure legislation that Portman negotiated. He was the only one of Portman's potential GOP successors who didn't bash the deal, which Trump has urged Republicans to reject. "I think Ohioans want
someone to go to Washington and engage, and to me it is really, really disappointing that no other Republican in this race is supporting the infrastructure package," he said. "Infrastructure is hugely important to our economic development."

Tim Ryan:
Give American manufacturing the tools it needs to grow
Lawmakers would create a new Office of Manufacturing and Industrial Innovation Policy. This bipartisan legislation would develop a long-term plan to ensure the growth and national security of the U.S. manufacturing industry and workforce. "Nearly
5 million manufacturing jobs have been lost since 2000. We introduced this legislation to ensure that we are looking at the big picture and doing everything in our power to give American manufacturing the tools it needs to grow and thrive," Ryan said.

Tim Ryan:
CHIPS Act is all about reshoring high-end manufacturing jobs
The CHIPS Act that we passed is all about reshoring high-end manufacturing jobs. Intel is going to invest, what they're saying, up to $100 billion into Ohio to manufacture these chips that have driven up inflation that we need for all the technology.
This is the biggest, most transformational economic development project in Ohio's history. This is all about dominating these industries of the future. The average wage there is going to be $135,000 a year. Those are the jobs we're talking about.
