Three officers were killed earlier Sunday in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, in the latest violence involving police across the country, and the Republican said he learned just before taking the stage Sunday evening of the shooting of a police officer in Milwaukee. We all want our children to do well. He also pointed to Ohio’s efforts to channel state business to minority-owned companies.

He urged the NAACP to take meaningful action this week in the wake of violence, and to keep in mind “what the Lord wants from each of us”.

“What choice did I have?” he said. Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Clinton will be there Monday morning.

“The contrast between the two parties this week could not be more clear”.

Ohio Gov. John Kasich, Ohio Congressman Steve Chabot and other Republicans will be in attendance. GOP presumptive nominee Donald Trump turned down the NAACP’s invitation, with the Republican National Convention starting Monday in Cleveland.

While the Republican National Convention in Cleveland is in the spotlight right now, there’s another convention in OH that is also attracting attention from political leaders. “We’re going to make sure that we do everything we can to give every single human being a sense that they matter, that they count, that they can be hopeful and that justice will be done”. It will feature a number of events and speeches.
