@FallsMom I agree, #ohio Reps Marcy Kaptir & Emilia Sykes are terrific legislators. And obviously by those staggering town hall numbers you mentioned in your post, Ohio voters have no appetite for the corruption, #votersuppression #gerrymandering —the overall dirty dealings which have long been on display by the #gop in #ohiopol .

Also I FINALLY got my hands on Repeal SB1 Petitions. Considering they have to get 250K signatures by June 25th I’m not feeling super optimistic about our chances of getting on the ballot, but we’ll give it our all! #OhioPol #Ohio

Why are Republicans so committed to dismantling #liberties and #freedoms? It seems to be the focus of their legislation in Ohio. #UsPol #OhioPol #Politics #liberty #justice #equality #LGBTQ

Dave Joyce (OH-14) could have the deciding vote for whether to release the Gaetz report. If he's your rep, I'd encourage you to contact his office. https://joyce.house.gov/contact

“As it sought a massive, corrupt bailout in Ohio, Akron-based FirstEnergy also spent lavishly on Trump-aligned dark money groups & at hotels & golf courses owned by [him]….”

The “deep dive” report shows “otherwise-secret records” from prosecutions & litigation around “one of the biggest bribery scandals in Ohio history.” FirstEnergy “funneled $61m” in order to pass a “$1.3B ratepayer bailout” through Ohio’s gerrymandered legislature.
