As Governor DeWine Awards $2 Million to Law Enforcement to Help Combat Violence – Scott Pullins Blasts Darrell Kick for Voting Against Local Grants for First Responders

5/26/2022

​Mount Vernon, OH – Today, Governor Mike DeWine awarded a second round of grants to local law enforcement agencies totaling $2 million as part of the Ohio General Assembly funded Ohio Violent Crime Reduction Grant Program.  The second round of grants is part of a $58 million program funded primarily by ARPA funds received from the federal government.  Funding will be primarily used to recruit, retain, and hire law enforcement officers.
 
Knox County Republican Scott Pullins, who is running for the Ohio House in the newly drawn District 98, today blasted State Representative Darrell Kick (R) – Loudonville, for voting against this program through his vote against HB 169 that created it.  Pullins said he would not only have voted for HB 169, but would also have cosponsored it.
 
“Darrell Kick needs to explain to the voters in Coshocton, Holmes, and Knox counties why he voted against providing grants to local law enforcement to combat violence,” said Pullins.  “If this bill hadn’t passed, then the money would have been sent to states like California and New York instead.”
 
“Unlike RINO Darrell, I will never vote to defund our local first responders,” continued Pullins.  “Darrell Kick says he is a conservative Republican, but he voted like a member of Black Lives Matter or other anti-cop, far left groups.”

Scott Pullins Calls for Ohio General Assembly to Remove Husted from Office - Taking Paid Corporate Board Seats is a Slap in the Face to Republican Voters

​Mount Vernon, OH – Yesterday, longtime conservative Republican leader Scott Pullins of Knox County called upon GOP Lt. Governor Jon Husted to either resign as Lt. Governor or resign from two paid corporate boards that he has joined.  Pullins is a GOP candidate for State Representative in what will likely be the 98th Ohio House district.  Today, Pullins said that the Ohio General Assembly should begin proceedings to remove Husted from office if he fails to resign from the boards or from office.
 
“Jon Husted is the highest paid elected statewide official and makes over $176,000 per year, even more than the Governor,” said Pullins.  “Taking this corporate gig is simply a slap in the face to Republican voters who barely renominated him a few weeks ago.”
 
“Ohio’s statewide elected officials, especially ones that were deeply involved in other scandals, need to avoid actual conflicts, but also the appearance of conflicts and impropriety,” continued Pullins. “Taking two paid corporate board seats while serving as the full time Lt. Governor stinks and Ohioans know it,” said Pullins.  “If Husted doesn’t resign, then the Ohio General Assembly should begin proceedings to remove him from office and the Ohio Republican Party should replace him on the ballot.”

Scott Pullins Calls for Lt. Governor Jon Husted to Resign

Mount Vernon, OH – Longtime conservative Republican leader Scott Pullins of Knox County today called upon GOP Lt. Governor Jon Husted to either resign as Lt. Governor or resign from two paid corporate boards that he has joined.  Pullins is a GOP candidate for State Representative in what will likely be the 98th Ohio House district.
 
“Ohio law is clear and our current Lt. Governor should know better,” said Scott Pullins.  “Because he serves in more than one state position, Ohio’s current Lt. Governor is already one of the highest paid state employees.”
 
“Lt. Governor Jon Husted must either resign immediately as a state official or resign from these two corporate boards,” continued Pullins.  “He simply cannot do all of these jobs and Ohio law, in my opinion, expressly prohibits it.”
