Four Republican primary candidates for the U.S. Senate spoke at this year's annual dinner of the Republican Women of Ross County. They are seeking to fill the seat of term-limited Rob Portman.
Kevin Coleman asked each one the question they addressed to the audience: "Why Should You Vote for Me." Hear each interview below.
An Ohio Senator since 2017, Matt Dolan from Cleveland pointed out his experience and track record as a conservative Ohio legislator.
Dolan explained he would vote for the Infrastructure Bill in Congress because he would not want to stand before Ohioans and admit he didn't vote for funding going to Ohio jobs, and that is read properly, it will not raise the U.S. debt.
As a businessman, Mike Gibbons describes himself as living the American dream. He says he is not a career politician, has spent his life in business, and understands economics.
Gibbons joked that he could be only senator who could finish your driveway, after his experience in a college job.
J.D. Vance has been portrayed as an author. He has written a book, "Hilbilly Elegy," a success a few years ago. But he speaks mainly as a businessman. He also flatly decries bipartisan corruption and bad decisions.
Vance was critical of Trump at first, but says he changed his mind like many Republicans after seeing his actions.
Bernie Moreno is also a businessman, but focused on the fact that he was proud of being a childhood legal immigrant from Columbia.
He said he has visited the south border because he didn't want to talk about it without seeing it firsthand. He said it was nothing like the civilized patriotic ceremony he worked hard to complete.
He compared the situation to the fictional "Hunger Games."
