Joe Biden and his administration are targeting women – targeting women in the workforce, targeting women standing up for their children, and targeting women by our very biological definition.
As the first female Chair of the Ohio Republican Party, and currently, as a candidate running to be the first female Senator from Ohio, I have watched with dismay as Joe Biden’s destructive policies have reversed the incredible progress women made under President Trump and conservative policies.
More importantly, as a mom, I am deeply concerned for the world we are leaving our daughters, sisters, friends and neighbors under Democrat policies, and it’s a huge reason why I’m in this fight to take our country back.
While President Trump’s economy lifted up women with historic employment levels, Joe Biden’s economy is leaving women behind. In last month’s job report, women lost 26,000 jobs. The Biden White House can spin the reasons for these abysmal numbers, but common sense demonstrates that Democrat policies are making it harder for women to work.
Stringent COVID requirements in schools and continued shutdowns by liberal administrations make it difficult for women to maintain a work schedule while caring for children at home. Employee vaccine mandates can have a disproportionate effect on pregnant women or women thinking about becoming pregnant, forcing them to choose between their personal freedoms or a paycheck. Critical Race Theory and anti-American indoctrination continue to rage in schools across the country, compelling more women to assume the role of full-time teacher as families increasingly opt for homeschooling and more control over their child’s education.
President Trump empowered working moms, even elevating a historic number to senior-level positions in his administration. Under Joe Biden’s policies, sadly, working moms are dwindling.
What’s more, women are on the frontlines of the Left’s attack on our children’s education. Yet instead of fighting WITH moms to advocate for parental rights, the Biden administration has decided to fight AGAINST moms.
Joe Biden has actually weaponized the Department of Justice to sic the FBI on parents standing up against Critical Race Theory and the Left’s indoctrination agenda. In Joe Biden’s America, moms speaking out at school board meetings can suddenly be labeled a “domestic terrorist.”
But actual terrorists and criminals at our Southern Border? Ignored.
Joe Biden’s radical open border policy is leading to a surge in human trafficking where vile predators prey on vulnerable girls to make billions a year off of sexual exploitation. While President Trump signed into law the most significant anti-trafficking bill in nearly 20 years to protect women and girls, Biden’s open border chaos is making it easier for thugs to terrorize women. This is despicable.
Finally, in Joe Biden’s America, the woke Left is trying to erase the very definition and biology of a woman, replacing “pregnant women” with phrases like “birthing people.” Liberal politicians are tripping over themselves to use this woke, manipulated language, while their allies in the mainstream media are more than happy to comply. Biden’s budget even replaced “mothers” with this dismissive vocabulary.
How can we expect leaders to advocate for over half the population if they won’t even call women, women?
We must stop this woke madness – starting by electing leaders who aren’t afraid to stand up to the liberal Left.
As Ohio’s next Senator, I’ll always be an advocate for women. I’ll vote against Democrat policies that are creating a welfare state of government dependency, forcing more families into poverty. I’ll proudly stand shoulder to shoulder with moms and recognize that parental rights – not politicians’ rights – should always be supreme. I’ll fight tooth and nail to build the wall and secure the border to stop the deadly human trafficking that is exploiting women and devastating our communities. And, it should go without saying, I’ll call women, women, and mothers, mothers.
Under strong, conservative policies of President Donald Trump and Republicans in Congress, women were empowered and families were better off. I’ll help us get back to those days.
