I am dismayed that during the July 22 rally for JD Vance in Middletown, our State Senator, George Lang, called for civil war if Republicans lose in November. His callous performance belied his true allegiance to the MAGA cult rather than any desire to support the people of Butler County and the State of Ohio. His actions are unworthy of an elected official, and he embarrassed himself and the office. His comments regarding a "civil war" are particularly egregious as he owns a gun owner liability insurance company which makes money when Ohioans shoot each other. We deserve better from our representatives. 

Tom Cooke is running against Lang for the Ohio Senate District 4 seat in November.
