This is a big issue & Toledo residents deserve answers: an "error" led to the release of a toxic chemical, glycidyl methacrylate, across much of Toledo. 1,000 people were evacuated, some still aren't back home. Dozens of Ohioans have been hospitalized. Schools and factories are closed. The long-term effects of exposure to this likely carcinogen are still largely unknown. It’s beyond disappointing that another part of Ohio is now vulnerable to long-term health consequences, just a few years after the chemical spill in East Palestine. We need a leader who can get to the root cause of these spills, hold negligent actors accountable, and adopt reforms to prevent future incidents. I’m making the same promise to the people of Toledo that I made to the residents of East Palestine during my visit earlier this year: transparency, accountability, and solutions.
