Inflation spotlight: Ohio GOP Senate contender Dolan vows to oppose Biden’s ‘war on energy’

One of the main Republican candidates in Ohio’s open Senate seat race is spotlighting inflation and taking aim at President Biden’s "energy agenda" in a new ad blitz.

Ohio Senate contender Matt Dolan vows in a new campaign commercial that was shared first with Fox News Digital on Thursday that he’ll "fight Joe Biden’s energy agenda because this war on energy is really an attack your wallet."

Dolan, a state senator from Cleveland and a former county chief assistant prosecutor and state assistant attorney general, is seen in his spot standing outside an oil refinery in East Toledo, Ohio, which he argues is "ground zero in the Democrats’ war on energy."

"On Day One, Joe Biden canceled pipelines and banned oil exploration. Energy prices skyrocketed, causing the worst inflation in 40 years on everything from gas to groceries," Dolan emphasizes in his commercial. And pointing to his rivals in Ohio’s Senate race, he claims that "my opponents aren’t able to confront today’s crisis; I am."
