Mandel supported the "heartbeat bill"

*  Josh Mandel supported HB 125 and spoke out in support of the bill, along with Mike Huckabee.  Josh Mandel is trying to involve himself in your reproductive decisions.


Think Progress:

The Ohio House will soon take up the a “Heartbeat” bill — a first of its kind, anti-choice bill that would outlaw an abortion if a fetal heartbeat can be medically detected, generally occurring around six or seven weeks. With the current ban on abortions set around 22 weeks, this bill would give Ohio “the most restrictive abortion law in the nation.” 

Despite a failed-attempt to present the heartbeat of a nine-week old fetus for “testimony,” a House committee voted to 12-11 to bring the bill to the House floor. The bill sponsor, state Rep. Lynn Wachtmann (R), recently announced that, on top of 50 sponsors, likely GOP presidential candidate Gov. Mike Huckabee has endorsed the bill:

   “In addition to the majority of the Ohio House of Representatives, the 400 

    pro-life organizations and leaders who support the Heartbeat Bill 

    now include Governor Mike Huckabee, State Treasurer 

    Josh Mandel, Congressman Steve Chabot, former Secretary of 

     State Ken Blackwell and the who’s-who of the pro-life movement,” said   Representative Lynn Wachtmann, Sub. H. B. 125′s prime sponsor....

Josh Mandel supported H.B. 125 and SB 5. That is very radical.  Mandel is another Republican at War on Women.

* Josh Mandel said that those of us that support Sen. Sherrod Brown are "...out of touch with mainstream Ohioans...." (Newsmax).

Here are a few other radical things that Republican Josh Mandel had to say, as reported by Newsmax:

....Brown, who Mandel slams as being the most liberal senator in the country — “actually to the left of Bernie Sanders who is an avowed Socialist from Vermont"

....He also slammed Brown for accusing him of cronyism in hiring staff for the treasurer’s office. He pointed out that the state has the highest ratings from both Standard and Poors and Fitch at a time when the national credit rating has been downgraded.

“One of the reasons we have had success in the treasurer’s office is because of the superior staff we put in place. We’ve got this excellent staff of qualified financial professionals with great expertise that we are willing to stack up against any treasurer’s office or fiscal office in any state in the country.”

Josh Mandel thinks it is okay to hire his buddies who have no experience managing millions of dollars because they're his buddies.  Even Mandel had to go to a seminar to learn how to do the job of State Treasurer.  He had to send at least one of his buddies/staff to a basic beginning course on how to do his job.  

 

Would you want someone to go to a two day seminar to learn to do your brain surgery or manage your money or fix your car?  Mandel doesn't take his office seriously shows because he has not approached it with the dignity and importance of doing the job---especially in the way that he has hired his buddies to fill jobs for which they were not qualified.

 

Someone else must be doing the work in the Treasurer's office because Mandel is never there.  He is going out during the day campaigning.  How does he manage that?  Should we ask that his pay be docked for those work hours he spends campaigning?  That sounds like a sweet deal---- get your salary while you are out campaigning for your next job.  We should all have jobs like that.
