Five Facts About Bernie Moreno's Record Of Looking Out For Himself, Not Ohioans

Columbus, OH - Bernie Moreno has shown Ohioans over and over that he is only looking out for himself - whether it's the "dubious claims" "dogg[ing]" him on the campaign trail, his record of "stiffing workers" and "shredding evidence" to get out of paying his employees, or his support for a national abortion ban that would overturn the will of Ohioans who voted to protect abortion rights last year.

Here's what you need to know about Moreno's heavy baggage and record that makes it clear he only "look[s] out for himself" and "can't be trusted" to fight for Ohioans:

1. Moreno refused to pay his workers the overtime they earned, then deliberately destroyed evidence he was legally required to keep to get out of it. Morenowas found liable for wage theft by a jury - forcing Moreno to pay over $400,000 in damages to his employees and settle over a dozen similar wage theft cases.Moreno's campaign continues to be clouded by lawsuits that shed further light on how he mistreated his employees.

2. Moreno has faced significant scrutiny over lies he's told on the campaign trail - including lying about selling Chinese-made cars that contributed to Ohio auto workers losing their jobs, lying about growing up "lower-middle-class," lying about "escaping" socialism, lying about learning English from Ronald Reagan's speeches, and more.

3. Moreno would vote for a national abortion ban that would overturn the will of Ohioans and has said he is "100% pro-life with no exceptions." Moreno also called the overturning of Roe v. Wade a "monumental victory" and opposes protecting a woman's right to access contraception, including birth control pills.

4. Moreno is not the outsider he claims to be. Moreno exploited his "inside" political connections, hefty campaign contributions, and public board appointments for years to steer government contracts and taxpayer dollars toward his businesses - leading Moreno to ultimately cash out for "at least $5 million."

5. Moreno opposed the bipartisan bill to secure the border and won't work across the aisle for Ohioans. Moreno opposed the bipartisan border security bill - which was backed by border patrol agents - and said he "would have opposed" the bipartisan FEND Off Fentanyl Act. When asked how he would work across the aisle to deliver for Ohioans, Moreno said he "reject[ed]" the question. In response, Moreno was slammed for having "no real interest" in advocating for Ohioans and being "intent on adding to [the] problem" in Washington.
