Congrats to ☘️State Representative Sean Patrick Brennan☘️ for getting this bill, which improves life for Ohioans with disabilities, to the governor’s desk

Congratulations to all the legislators and advocates who have worked for years to get this done (especially Jessica E. Miranda)! Unfortunate that it took so long to fix this archaic loophole in state law, but we will celebrate this important victory for survivors of sexual assault!

➡️ rising property taxes
➡️ food insecurity
➡️ gun violence

Instead, bills are telling adults what bathrooms they can use.

Such a fun morning celebrating Metro Early College High School senior Fatima A., who was surprised with a $40,000 @Amazon Future Engineer Scholarship. Fatima’s classmates, family, and teachers helped celebrate her award, which will be used to attend Ohio State beginning next fall.

Tune in this morning (Sunday) at 11:30AM to 10TV Face the State as I discuss the Real State of the State with Doug Petcash.

A bittersweet moment for those of us who get to serve alongside Rep. Jessica E. Miranda in the Ohio House. She will be terribly missed, but I know Jessica will continue doing great things as Hamilton County Auditor. Congratulations, my friend!

The Delaware County Dems hosted a fantastic event last night celebrating the work they’re doing in Delaware Co to get great candidates (like Dr. Rachael Morocco for Ohio) elected up & down the ballot, defend democracy, protect reproductive freedoms, & send Sherrod Brown back to the U.S. Senate!💪💙

I won’t stop talking about how important Ohio’s Supreme Court races will be this year to protect the reproductive rights we won in 2023! Electing Judge Lisa Forbes for Justice this November will be key to this fight. Support Judge Lisa Forbes here:

Incredible work! $230million in medical debt relieved in Lucas County, with more to come, thanks to innovative policy passed by local leaders. Rep. State Rep. Michele Grim 💯 has worked tirelessly to replicate this at the state level, and we’ll keep pushing for support to get it done!

Look, I think Gov. DeWine does actually believe we need common-sense gun safety laws, but his lack of courage in standing up to extremism and repeatedly signing these pro-crime, anti-cop gun bills sent by Rs in the legislature has made this problem much worse under his tenure.

🎯The realities of nearly 13 years of unchecked one-party rule in this state—where a culture of extremism and corruption flourish—have never been more apparent. We can definitely do better, Ohio.

Ohio House Democrats have introduced a bill that would use the state's Rainy Day Fund in the event that a federal government shutdown causes gaps in food assistance programs.
