August 18, 2022 · action
During the 2022 campaign, the Associated Press reported that his charity, Our Ohio Renewal, sent psychiatrist Sally Satel -- whose employer, the American Enterprise Institute, had received funding from opioid manufacturer Purdue Pharma -- to Ohio's Appalachian region, raising conflict-of-interest questions around opioid-epidemic messaging, a central plank of his platform.

His 2017 nonprofit, Our Ohio Renewal, launched to fight Ohio's opioid crisis, filed a tax return for only one year and, in its most active year, spent nearly half its funds paying a Vance political adviser, Jai Chabria, $63,425 to serve as executive director and $45,000 for a public-opinion survey.
