WATCH: Ohio Senate candidate uses Lia Thomas controversy in campaign ad

Republican Ohio Senate candidate Jane Timken invoked the current transgender sports controversy, specifically transgender University of Pennsylvania swimmer Lia Thomas, in her most recent campaign ad.

“As a mom and former college athlete, I know how important women’s sports are. They teach our girls to be winners,” she said. “But the Biden Democrats want to force our daughters to compete against men in the pool and on the court. It’s outrageous.”
