Friend,
I wanted you to be among the first to see the national news of my latest endorsements because they mean so much to me.
This year our entire nation has seen that Columbiana County personifies resilience, hard work, and grit. When the derailment occurred, local leaders and first responders stepped up. They didn’t take ‘no’ for an answer. They worked together to hold intergovernmental leaders, agencies, and private companies alike accountable, and they demanded results. It’s the kind of leadership that makes Ohio and America great, and I’m honored today to announce their support. In the U.S. Senate I will never stop working to build upon their progress and deliver results for East Palestine, Columbiana County, and our entire state.
Matt Dolan Political leaders in a small Ohio town that was thrust into the national spotlight earlier this year after a train derailment triggered the release of hazardous materials are making an endorsement in the state's competitive GOP Senate Primary in a race that could determine if Republicans win back the chamber's majority.
East Palestine Mayor Trent Conaway and fire chief Keith Drabick, as well as Columbiana County Commissioner Tim Weigle, are endorsing state Sen. Matt Dolan. The announcement was shared first with Fox News on Wednesday.
East Palestine Mayor Trent Conaway, in backing Dolan, said in a statement that "in the aftermath of unspeakable tragedy, Ohioans came together from many walks of life to lift one another up and begin a recovery process that continues today. Through it all, one leader among many has stood out for his efforts grounded in responsiveness and results."
"Matt Dolan didn’t come here for headlines, cameras, or social media clicks. He quietly showed up, rolled up his sleeves and asked how he could help. Each day, Matt has stood with East Palestine and as we continue to rebuild, he’s focused on our community’s needs and worked with us to develop a recovery plan that gets results. That’s why I’m proud to stand with Matt Dolan," Conaway emphasized.
Keith Drabick, the town's fire chief, highlighted that Dolan "cares about results, not who gets the credit. He’s taken the time to come here, visit with our people, understand our challenges, and get to work in a manner that serves others. We need more leaders like Matt Dolan."
And Columbiana County Commissioner Tim Weigle said that Dolan "has taken a personal interest in the rebuilding and success of our community, and that makes him exactly the kind of proven public servant we need in Washington."
President Trump visited East Palestine after the derailment and praised the mayor's efforts. The town is located in Ohio's Mahoning Valley, which is considered part of the Rust Belt, where working-class voters predominate. Trump made major gains for Republicans in an area, which previously was a Democratic stronghold.
