Former congressman Jim Renacci issued a statement on Mike DeWine's "Vax to School" program:
"Today’s announcement is just another example of Mike DeWine taking his marching orders from Joe Biden and Dr. Fauci. A Jim Renacci administration would leave these vaccination decisions between parents and their children and get the government out the way, period. Mike DeWine already failed with his disastrous vaccine lottery earlier this year that did not make a tangible impact at all, while wasting taxpayer dollars. This would be more of the same. Between DeWine forcing our children to wear masks and continuing to stay silent while Joe Biden imposes vaccine mandates against Ohio businesses, the radical, liberal agenda of Mike DeWine is killing Ohio."
