STATEMENT ON HB 435 THAT WOULD NOT HAVE PROTECTED OHIOANS FROM UNCONSTITUTIONAL VACCINE MANDATES

10/14/21

Cleveland, OH – Former congressman and candidate for governor Jim Renacci released the following statement on HB 435:  

  

“HB 435 was another ineffective bill that would not have protected every Ohioan from unconstitutional vaccine mandates and requirements. Since Mike DeWine refuses to take a stand against any and all vaccine mandates, the legislature must keep working on a solution that safeguards personal freedom and choice. DeWine should be taking cues from states like Texas and Florida that have signed executive orders and passed legislation to protect their citizens. As governor, I will veto any bill that jeopardizes Ohioans ability to make their own choices and do what is best for their families without government intrusion. Mike DeWine and the legislature will not protect your freedoms. I will.”
