Speaking to reporters in front of the Toledo VA Outpatient Clinic in South Toledo, Ms. Zimmann, a Democrat, said she would better serve veterans than Mr. Latta.
"My opponent in this race has a net worth of $2.3 million, and he seems indifferent to the needs of District 5 veterans," she said. "In fact, we can show how Bob Latta was part of an effort to cut housing assistance for 10,000 homeless veterans, leaving them on the street, while giving more tax breaks to multimillionaires like himself. The voting records of Congress also indicate that in October, 2009, [he] voted to eliminate school lunch funding for children whose parents were fighting overseas."
