Morgan Harper [D] and Josh Mandel [R], two U.S. Senate candidates in Ohio, faced each other in a debate Thursday moderated by Cassie Young, managing director at Matter News, a nonprofit news organization, and Daniel Wolvin, state director at Awake America Ohio, a religious organization focused on politics.
The debate, which was held at North Columbus Baptist Church, started energetically as the candidates discussed hot topics involving the environment, the natural rights of American citizens and racial equity, among other topics.
When the candidates received a question about the growing fossil fuel industry, Mandel expressed his support for that movement.
“People don’t realize this, but if you took the state of Ohio, the state of Pennsylvania and the state of West Virginia and you combined our three states into a region, that region would be the third largest producer of natural gas in the entire world,” Mandel said. “These are assets, not liabilities.”
Harper, on the other hand, said it is important for government elected officials to focus on solving and addressing the climate crisis, instead of accepting money from the companies she believes have been “trying to mislead us.”
Harper is a big supporter of renewable energy, considering her belief that it presents a huge economic opportunity for the state by creating incentives and investments to create jobs within the state in the clean energy sector that people could work in with just a high school degree. The state needs to be investing in renewable energy and creating as many jobs as possible in the state, she said.

I think you have the right idea about Vance. He’s a modern thinking family guy with working class nationalist leanings.
I’m here and I’m absolutely voting for him in the primary.
Mandel is a flake. Timken is swamp.
I don’t know if Mandel is a flake or not.
Timken is out of the question.
