Where they stand

Their own words, by issue, with the date, the venue and the link. A paraphrase is marked as one.

Abortion

Bob Peterson

I'm staunchly pro-life and believe that life begins at conception. I've fought throughout my legislative career to protect the lives of the unborn and prevent public tax dollars from being used to carry out abortions.

Gas tax holiday

Bob Peterson

Ohioans should not have to choose between filling up their tank and paying for the other necessities of everyday life

Guns

Bob Peterson

The right of the American people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. That protection is enshrined in our Constitution and it must be upheld.

Health care

Bob Peterson

I'm also working to ensure that Ohioans have the best health care system in the world - built around access, choice, and affordability, NOT a socialized, unsustainable, government-run mess. I'll continue working to expand free-market patient care options, such as telehealth, and I'll demand affordability in drug pricing and transparency in medical billing.

Immigration

Bob Peterson

We must do everything we can to protect our nation from enemies, both foreign and domestic. That means securing our borders, opposing sanctuary cities, and enforcing our immigration laws so those who seek to become Americans the legal way can do so, and those who seek to do us harm can't easily take advantage of our open doors.

Jobs and the economy

Bob Peterson

Let's trust our businesses, workers, and local government leaders to safely re-open our economy and start growing again. Government should incentivize and support private sector job creation, not create more bureaucracy.

Seniors

Bob Peterson

I'm committed to fulfilling those promises by making sure these programs are solvent and sustainable into the future. Our parents paid into Social Security and Medicare, just like the rest of us, and they deserve to know those benefits will be there for them unchanged.

Taxes

Bob Peterson

As a businessman and a legislator, I know what it takes to balance a budget and live within our means. In the Statehouse, I stood strong and voted against a Democrat plan to raise taxes and dramatically increase government spending. Instead, I've repeatedly voted to cut taxes, reduce and eliminate wasteful government spending, and protect your tax dollars.

Veterans

Bob Peterson

Likewise, our veterans answered the call of duty in service to our country. We owe them a debt of gratitude and a lifetime of support.
