Mike Turner On Votes For Reckless War With Iran That Is Sky-Rocketing Ohioans' Gas Prices: No Comment

June 9, 2026

COLUMBUS, OH - Republican Congressman Mike Turner has a simple message for Ohioans as he continues to vote for the reckless war with Iran that is raising Ohioans' gas prices: "No comment." While Turner doubles down on his support for the war with Iran, and gas prices in Ohio have reached $5.00 a gallon in recent weeks, Kristina Knickerbocker and Ohioans in Ohio's 10th congressional district are calling him out for it.

"It's simple why Mike Turner is refusing to comment on his support for the reckless war with Iran that is sky-rocketing Ohioans' gas prices - he can't defend his out-of-touch votes," said Ohio Democratic Party Communications Director Marisa Nahem. "While Turner clearly doesn't think he's accountable to Ohio families and doesn't seem to care that with every vote he is further raising Ohioans' costs, Ohioans are rallying behind Kristina Knickerbocker who will oppose this reckless war with Iran and actually lower costs for families in Ohio's 10th congressional district."

• "Mike Turner continues to vote for this war, which means it's a vote for the Miami people to work harder, to suffer more and to not get their basic needs met," Knickerbocker said.
