Matt Dolan, Ohio Secretary of State Frank Larose, and Bernie Moreno, Feb. 19, 2024, in the TLB Auditorium at the University of Findlay in Findlay, Ohio. A fractious three-way Republican primary for the chance to unseat Democratic U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown this November is culminating in Ohio, where candidates are divided more over their pasts than their policy positions. Moreno, LaRose and Dolan all favor some level of federal abortion restriction and tough treatment of immigrants lacking permanent legal status, among similar stances. It’s whether voters can trust them at their words that the three and their deep-pocketed allies are disputing ahead of Ohio’s March 19 primary. (Jeremy Wadsworth/The Blade via AP, file)
