AG Yost discusses nitrogen hypoxia as a remedy to carry out Ohio's death penalty.
Attorney General Dave Yost joined Representatives Brian Stewart and Phil Plummer in a recent press conference announcing legislation that would include nitrogen hypoxia as a method to carry out Ohio's death penalty. In recent years, Ohio, along with other states who have a death penalty for certain capital crime, i.e. murder, has been stymied by the drug industry that will not provide the state with the drugs to be used in lethal injection. In February, Alabama carried out a successful execution using nitrogen hypoxia. The Attorney General of Alabama declared it a success and stated that he would be available for other states' attorneys to contact his office for details.

Attorney General Dave Yost joined Representatives Brian Stewart and Phil Plummer in a recent press conference announcing legislation that would include nitrogen hypoxia as a method to carry out Ohio's death penalty. In recent years, Ohio, along with other states who have a death penalty for certain capital crime, i.e. murder, has been stymied by the drug industry that will not provide the state with the drugs to be used in lethal injection. In February, Alabama carried out a successful execution using nitrogen hypoxia. The Attorney General of Alabama declared it a success and stated that he would be available for other states' attorneys to contact his office for details.
The following are statements from AG Yost and State Rep. Phil Plummer. “There must be accountability for offenders convicted of the most heinous crimes and prisoners who continue to flout the law behind bars,” Yost said. “The pursuit of justice is a journey, and closure remains elusive for victims’ families until a sentence is fully executed. Ensuring that the consequences align with the severity of an offense is essential to providing solace to grieving relatives.” “Capital punishment has been recognized by the state of Ohio since 1803. It is now time for the authorization of other methods for carrying out capital punishment in addition to lethal injections,” Plummer stated. “By using nitrogen hypoxia, we are giving the system an additional resource for holding accountable those who have committed heinous crimes. Claims of a lack of access to lethal injections by Ohio’s executive branch will no longer be the case. It is time that we stop postponing executions and give the families of victims the closure that they deserve.”

- Tell us why you’re running for congress in the 13th
- What is your position on the southern border?
- What should congress do about the 34 trillion dollars in national debt?
- Due to the federal government’s lack of response to the crisis on the southern border, Gov. Abbot of Texas has deployed the Texas National Guard to put up barriers and razor wire to stop the flow of illegals crossing our southern border. Do you support Gov. Abbot's efforts and what more in your opinion needs to happen to the nearly 9 million illegals that have entered the U.S. illegally in the last 3 years?

The Life Movement and the Way Forward with Peter Range of Ohio Right to Life
In the aftermath of the effort to defeat the passage of Issue 1, the abortion rights amendment, the pro-life movement is re-engaging to educate a younger voter and to start the discussion to advance a pro-life culture among 18-35 year-olds. Exit polls indicated that the pro-life community fared poorly with this age demographic. We must change that trajectory if we are going to build a culture of life with the current generation. Peter shares that he attended the March for Life for many years and participated with the marchers. But this year, he wanted to watch them walk by and witness who had come from across the country to make a stand for life. He was moved to tears watching the tens of thousands of young people who had come to march for life in our nation's capitol. We discuss some strategies of how we will continue to advocate for life through education and public policy. Tune in and tell a friend.
