Ohio Senate President Rob McColley and State Representative Ty Mathews stopped by the WFIN Studios on Friday to discuss their latest work in the Ohio Legislature and other issues.  

Redistricting, property tax reform, and political violence and the Charlie Kirk killing were some of the issues we discussed with Mathews, a native of Arlington.

Mathews says resorting to violence against someone who holds different political views is totally and utterly unacceptable, and we need to respect the opinion of others even if we don’t agree with them. 

“This has been the greatest nation I believe this world has ever seen, and that’s what we need to look at as citizens in this country and really tune down on the hateful political rhetoric – and I’ll say – on both sides.”

McColley and Mathews were in Findlay Friday to speak at the Hancock County GOP luncheon at the American Legion on West Front Street and were kind enough to stop by WFIN beforehand.
