not just that, JD Vance's sham non-profit brought a Purdue Pharma apologist to the parts of our state hit hardest by the opioid epidemic, to spout lies about the drugs poisoning our communities. This is a slap in the face of every Ohio family touched by this crisis.
excerpts:
Republican Senate candidate J. D. Vance is selling himself to voters as an anti-elite populist. But his financial disclosures show that he benefits from the carried interest loophole, which notoriously benefits the very richest, most elite investors.

Vance’s campaign is being boosted by a GOP super PAC whose largest donors include moguls from the equity industry that benefits from the carried interest loophole. Among them is Blackstone CEO Stephen Schwarzman, who gave the super PAC $10 million as his firm has been lobbying on “issues related to carried interest.”
