On the campaign trail, Sen. Sherrod Brown (D.) pitches himself as a populist who shares Ohio's blue-collar values. But inside a "Women for Sherrod Brown" fundraiser in March, Brown's wife and a left-wing writer cast a more progressive image, slamming "heteronormal men" and saying Donald Trump will become a dictator if reelected.

LIMA Senior housing centers and councils on aging throughout Ohio, including Van Wert County, will distribute kits and information to promote safe disposal of unused prescription drugs.
Through a partnership with Recovery Ohio, the Association of Area Agencies on Aging (AAA), and the Rx Abuse Leadership Initiative of Ohio (RALI Ohio), disposal bags will be provided to senior citizens with guidance on the safe disposal of drugs, especially opioid medicines, that are no longer used or are outdated. RALI Ohio is providing supplies of disposal bags to each AAA region at no cost.
“Safe storage of currently used medications and disposal of unwanted drugs can reduce substance misuse in our communities,” said Alisha Nelson, director of Recovery Ohio. “Recovery experts say that for some people, addiction started at home, when drugs prescribed for someone else were taken from a medicine cabinet and misused.”
