Jon Husted and Senate Republicans voted to fully fund law enforcement today, ensuring that ICE and Border Patrol will have the resources they need to protect American communities and keep our borders secure. There’s no doubt radical leftist Sherrod Brown would vote with his party’s leadership to defund law enforcement.
“Sherrod Brown defended defund the police lunatics and wants to protect criminal illegals from deportation,” said NRSC Regional Press Secretary Nick Puglia. “While Brown sold out Ohioans’ safety to the radical left for over half a century, Jon Husted is making sure law enforcement officers have the resources they need to keep Ohio families safe for years to come.”
Background
- Jon Husted secured a record-breaking 75 endorsements from Ohio sheriffs, including Independents and one who previously endorsed Brown
- Brown voted at least 10 times to protect federal funding for sanctuary cities and fought against President Trump’s Executive Order prioritizing criminal illegal deportations.
- Democrats have repeatedly tried to defund the police by blocking funding for immigration enforcement—but Republicans are united in refusing to let Democrats hold public safety hostage.
- Democrats pandering to their rabid base by claiming they’re blocking law enforcement funding are lying. Thanks to Republican leadership, ICE and Border Patrol will have even more funding to keep Americans safe.
