On this #July4, I’m walking in my hometown parade, celebrating a team championship with our community, attending neighborhood gatherings, and remembering exactly why I fight so hard to stand up for the people and communities I serve. I will never give up hope that America’s…
Independence Day is a reminder that America is not the project of any one person. The single most powerful word in our democracy is the word ‘We.’ ‘We The People.’ ‘We Shall Overcome.’ ‘Yes We Can.’ America is owned by no one. It belongs to all citizens. And at this moment in…
Congress voted to pass the largest job-killing bill in history. Congress voted to take away health care from 17 million people to pay for tax breaks for billionaires. Congress voted to take away food assistance from 3 million people. Congress voted to betray working people.
When Ohioans can’t get healthcare because they’ve lost insurance, providers have closed their doors, and nursing homes can’t take our seniors, remember that @JonHusted @berniemoreno @MikeCareyOH15 @MikeTurnerOH @MaxMillerOH voted to cut $37B in federal Medicaid spending…
Ohio’s rural hospitals have never been more at risk of closing and reducing their critical services due to Medicaid cuts in Trump’s BBB and Ohio’s state budget. This is a matter of life & death for women, babies, and families in many communities. Hold members of Congress & state…
Ohio: thank you for standing with your libraries ❤️

The state of healthcare in rural Ohio hasn’t been this precarious since before the ACA, and Republican state and federal budget decisions will make this situation significantly worse for Ohioans in these communities.
NEW @KFF: House reconciliation bill could reduce Medicaid spending in rural areas by $119B over 10 yrs. Over half of the reductions would be in 12 states with large rural populations and expanded Medicaid: KY, NC, OH, IL, VA, MI, NY, WA, PA, OK, LA and AR. kff.org/policy-watch/h…

Stopped by the OGT studio this morning to join @karenkasler for this week’s episode of “The State of Ohio”. We’re talking about why this state budget is bad for Ohio, our @OHHouseDems leadership transition, and the future. You can watch on your local PBS station.

For the first time in history, a flag commemorating #Juneteenth flies at the Ohio State Capitol. Today, we celebrate the end of slavery in the United States, reflect on the progress that has been made, and recommit to the continued work to ensure equality and justice for all.…
