Akron Beacon Journal
Op-ed by Jane Timken, candidate for U.S. Senate

“March commemorates Women’s History Month where we celebrate the contributions of women. Throughout history, women have been trailblazers in voting rights, civil rights, and political rights — often ushering in large scale movements that have impacted our communities in incredible ways.

We are on the precipice of yet another movement. This Women’s History Month, we celebrate women, specifically the mama bears, who are leading a political awakening in this country. While we see and honor all those papa bears too, this year is the year of the mom.

The mom fighting back against her children’s lost education when schools were shut down and held hostage by teachers unions. The mom standing up for personal medical freedom and the right to determine her family’s healthcare decisions. The mom outraged with Democrat politicians who want to mask her 2-year-old, but won’t hold illegal immigrants at the southern border to the same standard. The mom who has had to leave the workforce because of asinine COVID policies forcing disruptive school and daycare schedules. The mom who has just had enough.

Count me in as one of those angry mama bears.

More often than not, women don’t sit on the sidelines when there is a problem. Instead, we fix it. That is how I got my start in politics, too.

When Democrats passed Obamacare, I saw that as the first step of government overreach in our lives, so I got involved at a local level to do something about it. Then in 2016, when the Kasich-controlled machine at the Ohio Republican Party turned its back on President Donald Trump, I stepped up to run as chair and proudly became the first female chairman of any major political party in Ohio. Today, I’m running for U.S. Senate because I can’t sit back and watch Democrats reverse the incredible progress we made under Trump’s America First agenda and steer this country into a ditch, void of opportunity for our children.

…

Mothers, myself included, are laser-focused on the issues that matter to American families because we are often on the front lines of these issues at home and at work. We see the cost of rising inflation when we go to the grocery store or the gas pump. We know what it takes to live within our family’s budget, and don’t want our kids and grandkids footing the bill for Washington’s reckless spending. We passionately believe that when it comes to education and healthcare decisions, our kids belong to us — the parents — and not the government. We are fed up with “defund the police” nonsense and want to live in communities that are safe.

I am in the fight to be Ohio’s next senator because I truly believe the Republican Party is the Grand Opportunity Party that can lift our state and our country to new heights and leave a better tomorrow for our children.

While my election would make me Ohio’s first female Senator, my gender is not what qualifies me for office. My fighter-spirit and record of getting things done is.

I’m a mom-on-a-mission ready to fight for our state, and I’m incredibly excited to have such a strong slate of conservative moms supporting me. House GOP Conference Chair Elise Stefanik was the youngest woman ever elected to Congress and now serves in House Leadership. South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem is leading the country on legislation combating critical race theory and protecting fairness in girls’ sports. Sens. Joni Ernst, Shelley Moore Capito and Deb Fischer are all the first women elected to the Senate in their states and have delivered forward-thinking results.  And Kellyanne Conway was the first female to ever lead a successful presidential campaign —though the media won’t give her credit for it.

This month, I celebrate all the mothers protecting their kids. With me as Ohio’s next senator, Ohio families will have one more mama bear fighting for them in Washington.”

(President Trump voiceover) ‘She has been incredible as a leader of the GOP. She’s the chair and she’s my friend. Jane Timken.
 
Ohio GOP Chairman, Jane Timken. She’s unbelievable.
  
Thank you, Jane. She’s been incredible.'”

CANTON, OH – U.S. Senate candidate Jane Timken released the following statement on the State of the Union: 

 “There is no doubt that the State of the Union is weak after one year of Joe Biden and Democrats’ rule. Inflation is costing the average American family more and weakening the value of a dollar. Gas prices soar as Biden bows to the altar of climate change and refuses to produce American energy. The Southern Border remains dire as illegal immigrants and drugs pour into the country unchecked. Americans’ personal liberties continue to be violated in the name of ‘COVID.’ Violent crime has risen in American communities while violence in Afghanistan and war in Ukraine destabilize the global stage. Undeniably, America and the world are less safe because of Biden’s weakness. 

Thankfully, there is hope and help on the horizon when strong, America First fighters like me go to Washington to stop Democrats’ socialist slide and put Ohio interests first again. My priorities in Washington will be to fight for American jobs, stronger borders and parents’ rights, and correct this year of compounded crises. The State of the Union under Joe Biden is America LAST, but as Ohio’s next Senator, I’ll fight for it to be America FIRST once again.”

Jane was there for President Trump before any of these other guys and continues to be a leader for his America First Agenda.”

CANTON, OH – U.S. Senate candidate Jane Timken released the following statement ahead of the vote on Senate Bill 1975: 

 “Today, Senate Democrats will shamefully vote for legislation that allows for abortion on demand, for any reason, up until the moment of birth. While dressed up under the guise of ‘women’s health,’ this bill does nothing but give the abortion regime unconditional power with no regard to the lives of innocent, unborn babies, or the life, safety and mental health of the mother. 

Votes like today demonstrate the critical importance of electing strong, pro-Life candidates that will be a voice of fortitude against Democrats’ pro-murder, anti-science culture of abortion. I passionately believe that every Life has worth, value and dignity, and in the U.S. Senate, I will be a powerful ally for the pro-Life movement to protect the sanctity of Life.

While defeat of this bill is an important step, the fight for Life is only just beginning. I continue to pray for the wisdom of our Supreme Court Justices to make the right decision to overturn Roe v. Wade and return power back to the states where it belongs – and where it will be greeted by a fierce pro-Life state in Ohio.”
