By David DeWitt, PolitickerOH.com Reporter

The campaign of U.S. Rep. Jean Schmidt (R-Loveland) responded to an ad being run by opponent Dr. Victoria Wulsin (D-Indian Hill) that hits Schmidt on Ohio's gas tax by calling Wulsin a "hypocrite."

Wulsin's ad hits Schmidt for her vote in support of Ohio's 2003 transportation bill, which raised the state gas tax by six cents over three years from 22 cents to 28 cents.

Wulsin goes after Schmidt on 2003 gas tax increase in OH-2

By David DeWitt, PolitickerOH.com Reporter

In a new television ad, the campaign of Dr. Victoria Wulsin (D-Indian Hill) is going after U.S. Rep. Jean Schmidt (R-Loveland) for her vote on Ohio's 2003 transportation budget, which raised the state gas tax by 6 cents per gallon over the course of three years.

Wulsin communications director Kevin Franck criticized Schmidt for supporting the "27 percent" increase in Ohio's gas tax because he said it "hurt middle class families across the district who are struggling to keep up with the rising cost of a gallon of gas."
