Both men quarreled on various matters, from healthcare and weapons to rapeseed sets and algae blooms (yes, really). In the debate, there was a clear mention of President Trump and Judge Brett Kavanaugh. Like “The New York Times”. explained“This race is almost a return to the times when the state policy was more local and was less focused on what was happening in Washington.”
All questions came from the audience live or from social media, so these were issues on which voters clearly depended.
Here are some of the most critical events:
As for kindness, a resident of Ohio wanted to know how these two men, if they were chosen, “repair the fence.”
“Many of these poor tones, divisions and imposing people from Washington,” said Cordray. “I want to talk to a policy that we can respect and which we can be proud of. I want to talk for the possibility of crossing the corridor and dealing with matters. “
Meanwhile, Dewine said: “I united people throughout my career. I can solve problems, but I don’t solve them myself. “
ON EcotThe Internet Social School, which was closed at the beginning of this year, being the fault of millions to the state for the overstatement of the attendance of students, Dewine said: “I am the only person on this stage who took any action against ECOT. Mr. Cordray was a general prosecutor before I became a general prosecutor. There was an inspection carried out by the auditor of this country, which showed that there may be a conflict – he did not take any action. We took action in a timely manner. “
Cordray said that when he was a general prosecutor, the Supreme Court Ohio ruled that officials from falling social schools could be held responsible for lost money, but Dewin did not. He claimed that this was because Dewine received donations from ECOT officials.
“He should have used this decision. But he didn’t. And why? Because he received tens of thousands of dollars from ECOT officials, “said Cordray. “And his candidate for the candidate received tens of thousands of dollars from ECOT officials. And these were not returned. “
Decay He also said that it was Cordray, and not him, he received donations from the founder of Ecot Bill Lager, when they both stood facing each other in the race for the position of prosecutor general in 2010, and that Cordray did not return the money. Cordray said that the sum was $ 600 and gave it to the local school district. (WKSU)
As for the legislation on the right to work, both men had more in common than in other issues.
Dewine said that he would veto this type of legislation: “This is not a debate or a fight we need. Ohio has many problems and many challenges that Mike Dewine and Jon Husted want to deal with when we take office. We do not need divisions as a result of such a fight that would take place. “
Cordray on his part said that he would also veto the legislation on the right to work, although he expanded his position.
“What Mr. Dewine did not say and say is that he would also like the case to be subject to voting and that the inhabitants of this state could decide. I do not agree with this – Ohio is not a state of right to work and should never be a state of right to work. It was voted 60 years ago and we rejected this decision. “
As for weapons, they both stated that they support efforts to place more law enforcement officers in schools. Dewine said he would add mental health services; While Cordray explained that he was supporting the ban on the employ of bumpers and the extension of the past checking system.
According to them Realclearpolitics Average, which gave Cordray an advantage of 3 points. The next start will compete on October 8 at Cleveland.
