Desiree Tims Could Win Longtime Republican Seat!

Desiree Tims is gaining traction. She could beat Rep. Mike Turner (R-OH). She is calling to question Turner's failure to save Dayton from the brink of collapse.

The Republican lawmaker who represents Ohio's 10th Congressional District which encompasses Dayton, Xenia, Beavercreek and Washington Court House is trying to tag a political newcomer to the Washington, DC establishment.

Rep. Mike Turner (R-OH) is taking this contender seriously. He is facing against a woman of color who is gaining traction in a district that voted for Donald J. Trump by five points. Turner, who has been in Congress since 2003 hasn't really made Dayton great again. All he's done is talk about how he's better than the Democratic opponent and is resorting to calling her a corrupt candidate.

Desiree Tims is the Democratic nominee. Tims seems like she's a viable contender in a district that normally favors Republicans. Given that Trump's handling of the coronavirus has impacted Ohio and the scandal involving former State House Speaker Larry Householder, Republicans see the state becoming a swing once again.

Turner who rallies on the suburban voters and rural voters is trying to taint Tims as a "DC lobbyist" and claims she's trying to "buy a seat in Congress."

DC, in my opinion is coded.

DC means the District of Columbia. But if you put it in code, Turner is calling her a "Uppity Dark Color" candidate who is trying to steal an election.
Longtime Republican lawmaker Mike Turner is trying to taint his opponent as a part of the DC Swamp. He is one to talk.
According to her website, Tims was born and raised in Dayton, Ohio. She is a graduate of Dunbar High School, Xavier University and Georgetown University of Law. She had volunteered for Barack Obama's presidential campaign. She also had served in the White House during Obama's first term as  President of the United States. She has worked for Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) and Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY).

She is running on making sure that Ohioans are getting fair living wage, the reauthorization of the farm bill, affordable child care, healthcare and a focus on climate change.

Turner will run on his record of bringing jobs to the Miami Valley through the Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, one of the state's largest employers and one of nation's most strategic military installations.

Turner will ignore the concerns of constituents who live in Dayton, Trotwood and Riverside.

The inner suburbs of Dayton were hit hard by the Memorial Day tornadoes. The city of Trotwood lost retail, grocery stores and is considered a "ghost town" by most residents.

The city also had a mass shooting months later. Turner has no indication of voting to stop gun violence in the United States. He won't commit to aiding Ohioans who were affected by gun violence.

Dayton lost Good Samaritan Hospital, one of the oldest medical facility on the northwest corner of the city. The city has been affected by the coronavirus. Over 1,400 residents in Montgomery County have died from the coronavirus. The hospital would have been beneficial to residents. The corporate Premier Health Partners decided to close the hospital after 86 years and demolish it. The residents have filed a federal lawsuit saying that it disadvantage people of color.

Cox Media, NCR, Teradata, Elder-Beerman and other entities have left or went out of business in Dayton.

Ohio has over 45,000 residents die from the coronavirus.

Turner doesn't support the extension of the CARES Act. He is fully on board with the reelection of Donald J. Trump and Mike Pence. He will play upon the fears of a Democrat to win.

He will brag about how he saved "Wright-Patt" from base closure and complain about how Daytonians are satisfied with his job as a congressman.
In 2019, Good Samaritan Hospital is being torn down. The hospital closed in 2018 and it put a huge hole in the Dayton area.
Let's get this straight, Mike Turner is ignoring his constituents. The city of Dayton has fallen on hard times and residents should never reward him for his ineptness.

I have the race as LIKELY REPUBLICAN. I had considered the race as SAFE REPUBLICAN because of Turner's name recognition. Given that Trump's dipping job approval and Republicans failure to pass legislation, it's possible that Tims could pull an upset.

Turner along with 15 Republican and 8 Democratic lawmakers are in the vulnerable category.



So for those who live in the Dayton metro area, please donate to Desiree Tims. Help her win this seat and send Turner home.

Let Turner find his next mistress outside of DC.
