Statement from Congresswoman Joyce Beatty on Governor DeWine Sending the Ohio National Guard to Washington, D.C.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congresswoman Joyce Beatty (OH-03), issued the following statement on Governor DeWine sending the Ohio National Guard to Washington, D.C.:

“I am deeply disappointed that Governor DeWine has chosen to send Ohio National Guard members to support President Trump’s militarization efforts in Washington, D.C. Let’s be clear: Trump’s actions are not about addressing crime. They are about instilling fear in our communities and distracting from the failed tariff policies, unlawful actions, and lack of transparency from this administration.”

“The men and women of Ohio’s National Guard signed up to serve their country, not a lawless President who has repeatedly ignored our nation’s Constitution and principles.”
