Renacci Supports Rolling Back Recovery
“While Congressman Boccieri has a record to run on including support for policies that retrain workers to put them back to work and ending tax loopholes that ship our jobs overseas, Mr. Renacci has a record to run from with numerous ethical challenges, lawsuits, and elitism,” said Jessica Kershaw, spokeswoman for the Boccieri campaign.
“While his campaign manager talks tough and Mr. Renacci talks a good game, his record is out of touch with 16th district voters,” Kershaw continued. “The Congressman looks forward to standing shoulder-to-shoulder and asking Mr. Renacci why he wants to roll back the recovery with his support of failed policies.”
