Our Mission
My opponent, Cindy Abrams, is fond of saying that "Actions speak louder than words."
On this we agree.
- Cindy voted with the entire Democrat Caucus for a more liberal House Speaker
- Cindy voted with the entire Democrat Caucus on the HB2 extravagant expenditures
- Cindy sat with the entire Democrat Caucus to prevent vote on SB 83 to take DEI out of schools
- Cindy single handedly shut down the Second Amendment Preservation Act
The damage caused by these actions is significant and ongoing.
The most egregious effect was the passage of the extreme "Reproductive Rights" amendment. Here is how Cincinnati Right to Life Laura Strietman pointed out in their newsletter:
A year ago, we anticipated that 2023 would be the year we would make Ohio abortion free. After all, Ohio carried the conservative vote for President Trump in 2020, while in 2022 electing a super majority of Republicans in both the State House and the Senate, Senator J.D. Vance and three conservative Ohio Supreme Court justices. We believed our years of efforts shaping the voice for life in Columbus would allow life to prevail in Ohio. Oh, Ohio, how wrong we were. Is Ohio really the heart of it all?
How did we get here? There was a sequence of events in our state that began in January of 2023 when the anticipated conservative pro-life Ohio Speaker of the House was not elected due to 22 Republicans siding with the Democrat Reps to vote in Jason Stephens (R) instead of Derek Merrin (R). The abortion steamroll just seemed to kick into high-gear. Here we are weeping for the prebom and their mothers in this tragic place of full-term abortion enshrinement in Ohio's Constitution. Is Ohio the heart of it all?
George has been fighting for Fiscal Sanity, Limiting the size of Government and Better Education outcomes for his entire public career. Our campaign is based on the same principles and process that the grassroots revolution of 2010 did to halt the expanse of the last Democrat regime. It is time to put a true voter representative into the Ohio House.
George Brunemann represents what happens when an honest person has the courage to run for political office. His opponent, Cindy Abrams, has spent twice what George has for his entire campaign on just the media portion of her campaign. The opposition is hoping to overpower any productive debate on issues with unending noise.
The truth is quite simple. We need to say NO to the Professional Politicians and YES to someone willing to dig into the problems and make constructive change.
The difference between George Brunemann and his opponent could not be clearer than the contrast between their most recent Campaign Finance reports. (You can search for these at https://www.ohiosos.gov/campaign-finance/search/ ).
Brunemann | Opponent | |
Balance on hand 2/28/2024 | $19,915.68 | $193,758.48 |
Jan-Feb 2024 Contributions plus In Kind | $40,448.79 | $178,155.71 |
Percent of Contributions from PACs | 0.74% | 82.42% |
Number of Individuals and Average Donation | 85 - $350.76 | 38 - $686.71 |
Expenditures Total | < $50,000 | > $300,000 |
Media buy on behalf of candidate | $0 | $94,732.91 |
This should frighten every voter looking for a candidate that will represent the will of the people.
George Brunemann is not a "professional politician". He is someone trying to take an active role in solving the problems in Ohio.
His opponent is beholden to the PACs and lobbyists that control her donations and to the "Ohio House Republican Alliance" that is advocating on behalf of all the representatives that joined the Democrats in selecting the House Speaker and the agenda for the legislation.
Professional politicians are destroying our state with out of control spending, evidenced by the > $94K media blitz shows the extent to which they will go to hold onto power.
You have a choice: Business as usual in Columbus or honesty, integrity and commitment to the taxpaying voter.
On March 19th it is time to say "NO" to Cindy Abrams and the Professional Politicians - VOTE FOR GEORGE!
My interview with the Scott Wartman was in the Cincinnati Enquirer on Wednesday, March 13th.
It was a fair article but the key is the final paragraph:
Abrams did not respond to messages and questions sent by The Enquirer. She told Gongwer News Service she stands by her vote. "I voted for what was best for the institution – that being the Ohio House," Abrams told Gongwer.
- First question:
- Why is she so afraid to talk to reporters, radio hosts or anyone that can ask a question???
- Real question:
- Why is her explaination the she voted with the entire Democrat caucus was that was "best for the institution"???
- What about voting for what is best for the constituents?
- Does she actually believe that the goal of a Republican supermajority is to break rank with the majority of the Republicans and to vote with the Democrats?
- If it really was best for the "institution", why did the Ohio Republican Party vote to censure her for this supposedly "best" vote?
- Why is her explaination the she voted with the entire Democrat caucus was that was "best for the institution"???
Do we really want someone to "represent us" that is beholden to the liberal wing of the Republicans and to the Democrats?
Cindy Abrams has never had a challenger and is unapologetic about her joining the Democrats to disrupt Ohio's conservative initiatives. Her campaign dwarfs ours by a factor of 10 to 1. She has spread a neverending and increasingly rediculous claims about what we stand for.
Elections should be based on facts and qualifications, not on the size of your checkbook and your ability to promulgate lies.
Do your homework and pick the candidate most likely to follow through for you in Columbus!
Our last few discussions with Brian have been about the general topic of politicians ignoring voters. This is an update on those situations and an introduction to another instance happening Friday night.
Harrison expresses their displeasure with city council with a "toilet display". Listen to the background and unusual circumstances behind the issue in an interview with Brian Thomas. For details, click here to go to the Harrison Front Door Project on Facebook.
Colerain Trustees decided by a 2 to 1 vote to place a levy on the ballot that is even higher than the one that was defeated in November. We discuss with Brian Thomas the background and the ongoing challeng of elected officials not listening to the will of the voters
Born in January of 1929, Martin Luther King’s life and work spanned some of the darkest moments of America’s history. His objective was summed up in his August, 1963 speech at the Lincoln Memorial. Referred to as the “I Have a Dream” speech, King described the challenges of the African American experience. King cited the promise of the founding of America which, if fully realized, would secure equality for all citizens.
King’s speech should be read completely (see here). The following quotes are personally inspiring:
And so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream.
I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal."
I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.
I have a dream today!
Martin Luther King faced the “difficulties of today and tomorrow” by maintaining a hope “deeply rooted in the American dream”.
We face historic challenges today: high inflation and taxes, open borders and sadly, racial division. Politicians have strayed from the actual core of Dr. King's message with their embracing of "equity" instead of "equality". By forcing outcomes based entirely on "color of their skin" as opposed to the "content of their character".
I am running for Ohio State Representative for the29th District because today’s difficulties cannot be avoided or denied. The solution, as always, is rooted in the American dream where innovation and personal initiative are the path to success for each individual and our community at large.
