From September 28, 2022 post

Congressman Chabot’s campaign released the following statement on Greg Landsman’s latest television ad desperately trying to obscure his record on public safety by hiding behind fellow left-wing politicians who also support soft-on-crime policies.

“Families in Cincinnati, Hamilton County and Warren County all deserve to be able to walk down the street in their community without fearing violent crime — and they also deserve the truth about Greg Landsman’s support for radical policies to undermine law enforcement,” said Chabot campaign manager John Gomez. “As homicides and violent crime were on the rise in Cincinnati, Greg Landsman voted to deny law enforcement $1 million in badly needed resources to keep communities safe and introduced a proposal that WLWT reported constituted ‘the definition of defunding’ the police.”

“Now, as he faces accountability for undermining law enforcement and putting our communities at risk for greater violent crime, Landsman is relying on his fellow soft-on-crime politicians to lie about his record,” Gomez continued. “Landsman’s is trying to obscure the truth about his record by hiding behind fellow politicians who’ve also supported soft-on-crime policies and accepted endorsements from organizations that support defunding the police.”

“The simple truth is Greg Landsman can’t hide from his record and can’t deceive First District voters by hiding behind fellow soft-on-crime politicians,” Gomez added.

“Keeping families safe and cracking down on violent crime in our region starts with voting to stop Greg Landsman’s campaign for Congress.”

“The men and women of law enforcement put their lives on the line to keep our communities safe,” said Cincinnati Fraternal Order of Police President Dan Hils. “When Cincinnati faced rising crime, Greg Landsman sided with left-wing radicals and introduced a plan to defund the local police. Landsman even voted to strip a million dollars from law enforcement. Congressman Steve Chabot supports the local police and has been a fierce advocate for first responders. Steve Chabot has our back and will keep our communities safe.
