The @CityofDayton sent us this photograph - made by combining photos from the Dayton community into a larger image depicting a prayer vigil in the Oregon District the day after the shooting. daytonohio.gov/907/Photo-Mosa… 
Fran and I were at this vigil. I can still hear the heartbroken and angry mourners chanting “do something.” They had the right to be mad. They demanded that Ohio do more to stop gun violence. The words certainly moved me, and I vowed to answer that call.
We enhanced safety resources for our schools and invested in mental health and behavioral health services. We offered grants to make churches safer and funding to help law enforcement extradite dangerous criminals.
Also, our Warrant Task Force’s work led to a 903% increase in Ohio arrest warrants entered into the national warrant database since March 2019. This significantly increases the likelihood that if someone w/ a warrant tries to purchase a gun, the sale will be stopped.
And, in October, we also unveiled #STRONGOhio- a reasonable and aggressive package of legislation designed to protect citizens from gun violence while also protecting the rights of Ohio’s law-abiding citizens. Read about it here: bit.ly/STRONGOhio
