Ray Warrick was a 2016 Republican candidate for District 62 of the Ohio House of Representatives.[1]

Campaign themes

2016

Warrick's campaign website highlighted the following issues:

Medicaid Expansion: Ray was against the expansion of Medicaid in Ohio from the very beginning. Expansion of an unaffordable, unsustainable government welfare program, accepting federal Obamacare dollars, and adding millions of able-bodied adults to the welfare rolls in our state is a terrible idea.

Common Core: Common Core is a classic case of federal government overreach, with Ohio politicians playing along. Ray believes Ohio should repeal Common Core in our state. Control of our schools should rest in our local school districts without interference from Washington or Columbus.

Spending:

  • The Republicans have held a majority in both the state house and senate, and all state level offices since 2011. The Republican controlled legislature has passed the current Republican administration’s budgets that contain much higher spending than the preceding Democrat administration.
  • Ray believes this is an outrageous trampling of Republican fiscal values. We should be cutting spending and returning the money to the taxpayers. Columbus is not efficient, and they do not know how to spend money better than the people they take it from.

Ohio Term Limits: Ray believes strongly in term limits and is against any move to eliminate them or increase the amount of time state elected officials are currently allowed to serve in office. Ray established the Political Action Committee, Eight is Enough Ohio, to fight current attempts by career politicians to weaken the term limit laws that 68% of Ohio voters passed into law in 1992. Keeping politicians in office longer only serves to strengthen the bond lobbyists use to manipulate the system through monetarily influenced law makers.

Right to Work: Ray strongly believes that Ohio becoming a Right to Work state is the most important issue we face. If we cannot become a Right to Work state, the people will not be able to break the stranglehold the unions have on all that happens in the Ohio. We cannot make real reforms and changes to move our state toward growth and prosperity with union money and manipulations blocking us at every turn.[2]
