Bernie Moreno:
My parents came here legally to escape socialism
He compared New York Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders to "radicals like Fidel Castro and Che Guevara," and said he plans to protect the U.S. from the socialist left. The topic he focused on most was immigration,
telling the story of how his family came to the U.S. from Columbia as a child to escape socialism. "This is personal to me. My parents came here legally, because they wanted us to see that in America, we can accomplish anything," Moreno said.

Bernie Moreno:
I support building a wall on Southern border
I believe in an immigration system that supports the rule of law. And that is why I support reforming our immigration laws to make it harder for people to enter this country illegally. I support building a wall along our Southern border.
I support eliminating taxpayer-funded benefits that serve as a magnet for illegal immigrants and hurt American taxpayers and workers, including right here in Ohio.

JD Vance:
Those who complain about southern border get called racist
If you think about the entire trajectory of American life over the last 30 to 40 years, you have elites and the ruling class that have plundered this country, have made it harder for middle class Americans to live a normal life. When those Americans
dare to complain about the conditions of their own country, if they dare to complain about the southern border, or about jobs getting shipped overseas, what do they get called? They get called racist. They get called bigots, xenophobes, or idiots.

Josh Mandel:
We need a fighter who will fight to build the wall
Motivated by the Democrats' sham impeachment of President Trump, Josh Mandel announces for the United States Senate. Watching this sham and unconstitutional impeachment has made my blood boil and motivated me to run for U.S. Senate.
It's sickening to see radical liberals and fake Republicans in Washington engage in this second assault on President Donald Trump and the millions of us who supported him."
"I've heard loud and clear from my fellow Ohioans that we need a warrior that won't quiver in their boots when it comes to standing up for conservative values. We need a fighter in the Senate who will fight to build the wall, combat
China's economic cheating and advance conservative policies that gave us the greatest economy in American history. We need to keep our foot on the gas and build off the momentum of the Trump presidency."
