2024 OH Senate race: on Budget & Economy

Frank LaRose: Championed adopting federal balanced budget amendment

As a state senator, Frank did the hard work to balance Ohio's budget--every time. When he first went to the state senate, he voted to cut spending by $8 billion. Frank's core economic principle is that money is best spent by the people, not the government. Frank championed legislation to adopt a balanced budget amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Today, the contrast of state balanced budget requirements and the staggering amounts of debt being racked up in Washington could not be clearer.

Bernie Moreno: Cut government spending and end inflation

Economy: Decrease or increase government investment in, and regulation of, the economy?
• Sherrod Brown (D): Increase. Supported $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill. "We need to create jobs, invest in our small businesses and American manufacturing, and raise wages and benefits."
• Bernie Moreno (R): Decrease. Wants to "massively reduce anti-growth regulations, cut government spending, and end inflation," and "allow free markets to work."
