Republican Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine has faced a series of conflicts of interests on key issues in his state, including with the ongoing Haitian migrant crisis affecting Springfield.
DeWine recently pledged support to Springfield to assist with the influx in Haitian migrants, according to Spectrum News. Over a period of years, DeWine and his wife have developed extensive ties to a charity in Haiti.
The charity was established in honor of Becky DeWine, their daughter who died in a car accident. The DeWine Family Foundation Inc. gave a $400,000 grant to the group “Hands Together” to fund a school in Haiti, according to the foundation’s 990 form that was filed in 2023.
Hands Together established the Becky DeWine school and dedicated it to the governor’s late daughter in 1999, according to its website. DeWine’s family held fundraisers for years on behalf of the charity in Ohio.
