Finally, Jim Jordan will be held to account for his role in allowing the abuse of hundreds of young people at OSU

 
Hello John,

 

Earlier today, the U.S. Supreme Court rejected Ohio State University’s attempts to dismiss claims of sexual abuse brought by dozens of victims against an OSU athletic department doctor.

 

This is a big win for justice and accountability, and here’s why:

 

At the center of this case is my opponent, Rep. Jim Jordan, and his actions as assistant coach of the wrestling team.

 

While serving as an assistant wrestling coach at OSU, Jim Jordan turned a blind eye to reports of sexual misconduct by the team's doctor, Richard Strauss. Under Jordan’s protection, Strauss’ abuse was allowed to carry on unimpeded. Strauss ultimately victimized hundreds of students; some of them have come forward as members of Jordan’s wrestling team—many of whom he recruited by promising these young men’s parents he would “take care of them.”

 

Despite Jordan’s stonewalling, dozens of survivors have come forward with their stories and have sworn under oath that they told Jordan about the abuse. The survivors described Jordan responding dismissively to their reports and then taking no action.

 

With this result, we hope that Jim Jordan will finally be held accountable for his role in the scheme of abuse that ruined so many young lives for so long.  

 

Jim Jordan has no business serving in Congress. The voters of my district deserve to have someone representing them that they can trust. Someone with a record of values, morals, and leadership.

 

I need your help to prosecute Jordan’s reprehensible record—both his personal failings and his extremist positions in Congress. Can I count on you to stand with me and make a donation of $25 or whatever you can spare against Jim Jordan as the walls start to close in on his track record of abuse and corruption?

Thank you for fighting for justice and standing for what is right. Together, we can oust the irresponsible and morally defunct Jim Jordan and restore trust in this part of Ohio. 

 

Sincerely,
