The Ohio Environmental Council (OEC) Action Fund has launched a major statewide ad campaign focused on raising awareness of the climate and jobs provisions of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). The ads applaud the work of Senator Sherrod Brown and Congressmembers Tim Ryan, Marcy Kaptur, Shontel Brown, and Joyce Beatty for their efforts to pass this transformative legislation, as well as hold Representative Steve Chabot accountable for his opposition to the new law.
“The Inflation Reduction Act is a major homerun for Ohio families. This transformative legislation is the largest investment in climate action in our nation’s history and will be critical in cutting carbon emissions for years to come,” said Spencer Dirrig, Political Director of the OEC Action Fund. “It is important that Ohioans know that Senator Brown and our Democrats in Congress fought to pass this legislation that will cut energy costs for Ohio families and over 100,000 Ohio jobs in renewable energy.”
The ad campaign will feature both digital and statewide radio ads over the coming days.
The digital ads include:
Congressman Tim Ryan (OH-13) (Sample)
Congresswoman Marcy Kaptur (OH-9) (Sample)
Congresswoman Shontel Brown (OH-11) (Sample)
Congresswoman Joyce Beatty (OH-3) (Sample)
Congressman Steve Chabot (OH-1) (Sample)
The radio ad campaign will cover the Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati, Youngstown, Toledo, and Lima markets. The ad specifically applauds Senator Sherrod Brown and Congressman Tim Ryan for their united efforts to pass this transformative legislation.
“By working together to pass the Inflation Reduction Act, Senator Sherrod Brown and Congressman Tim Ryan have demonstrated their dedication to protecting Ohio’s clean energy future, cutting energy costs for Ohio families, and protecting good-paying union jobs in our state,” said Dirrig.
