Democrats, UAW members criticize Mandel
YOUNGSTOWN — State legislators from the Mahoning Valley and United Auto Workers union members at the Lordstown General Motors complex criticized Ohio Treasurer Josh Mandel, the Republican nominee for U.S. Senate, today for saying he “respectfully disagreed” that the $82 billion federal bailout saved the auto industry.
The legislators and UAW members said without U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown, a fellow Democrat being challenged in the November general election by Mandel, leading the charge, the American auto industry would have collapsed.
The comments were made at a press conference today at the Mahoning County Democratic Party’s headquarters on Mahoning Avenue. The event was coordinated by the Ohio Democratic Party.
