High property taxes are not inevitable, they are a choice. A choice that elected republicans—who have had total control at the statehouse for over a decade—have made. They decided the State should pay less so you will pay more. This wrong—it must & CAN be fixed👇🏼

The @BeckCenter ‘s commitment to arts edu & therapeutic programming highlights the vital role the arts play in strengthening communities—and why investing in local arts institutions through the capital budget matters. Grateful for the opportunity to connect & support their work!

Great to join @OhioXOrg for an industry leaders roundtable for their GovTech Summit. Building Ohio’s tech economy means investing in people—strong schools, affordable higher ed, & real pathways into STEM careers that keep talent here & attract the next generation of tech leaders

Regional planning is about making sure transit systems actually work for people—connecting workers, businesses & communities so we can continue to grow together. Grateful to @NOACA_MPO for the chance to discuss the progress we’ve made at the Statehouse last budget & work ahead

Making sure programs like Summer EBT & SNAP work the way they’re supposed to is a basic responsibility of your state government. Ohio families deserve programs that are reliable & accountable. My focus is always on making government work better for the people it’s meant to serve

When school cafeterias close in June, Summer EBT helps K-12 students who rely on free school lunch access food. After admin delays last year, system upgrades approved by Controlling Board today will strengthen verification & ensure benefits reach Ohio’s 1.2M eligible kids on time

Ohio’s Blue Economy is about more than recreation—it’s about supporting skilled workers, small businesses, & thriving waterfront communities. Grateful to the Ohio Marine Trades Assoc. for convening our discussion on protecting Ohio’s waterways & strengthening our marine economy⛵️

Great to conversation with advocates from Adoption Network Cleveland @AdoptionNetCLE about adoption, kinship care, & foster care in Ohio. Grateful for the work they do to support families and for the advocacy that continues to improve outcomes for children across our state

Proud to welcome Scott DiMauro @GovTeacherScott as my guest for the State of the State yesterday. From the classroom to his tenure as President of the Ohio Education Association, Scott’s lifelong commitment to students & educators is exactly the leadership our community deserves.

Honored to be back at St. Joseph Academy @sja1890 for the 2026 Women’s Leadership Symposium, speaking alongside fellow alumnae & incredible women leaders. St. Joe’s helped shape my path in public service, and it’s inspiring to see that spirit alive & well in today’s students

Recently had the chance to attend Cuyahoga County Board of Developmental Disabilities’ annual legislative breakfast and hear directly from many powerful self-advocates. Their voices help guide our work at the Statehouse and remind us why strong support services matter. 💙

Great visiting the Spanish American Committee on Cleveland’s westside to learn more about their work with NEO’s Hispanic community. From workforce training & financial literacy to affordable childcare & ESL classes, they are helping families build economic stability & prosperity

Great to meet with @StepFwrdToday’s leadership team during their recent visit to the Ohio Statehouse. As Cuyahoga County’s Community Action Agency, they are on the front lines helping families keep the heat on during the winter while also building pathways to economic stability

#BlackHistoryMonth reminds us that progress is driven by people who refuse to accept injustice as inevitable. From the fight for civil rights to today’s work for fair schools, good jobs, and accessible healthcare, Black Ohioans are building a stronger future for our state

Workforce transit. Affordable childcare. Rising property taxes. Energy costs. If we want to strengthen Ohio’s economy, state policy has to address the barriers holding back Ohio workers & business. Grateful for the invite to join @ywchamber for a conversation about what’s ahead!

Honored to attend my first Iftar—& the 4th Annual Iftar at the Statehouse—hosted by my colleague @muniraforohio the first Muslim woman elected to the Ohio legislature. Grateful for an evening of reflection & connection, celebrating the traditions that make our communities special

Members of the Ohio Legislative Black Caucus will be hosting a #BlackHistoryMonth press conference TOMORROW @ 11:30am. This press conference will highlight the legislative priorities Democrats have put forward to help support and uplift Black communities across Ohio. #bhm #ohio

$14.75M approved to strengthen affordable housing across Ohio—from new housing development to emergency home repairs & services for seniors, this funding helps stabilize families and neighborhoods when costs are rising and too many are already stretched thin

Northeast Ohio is lucky to have organizations like Friendship Circle @FCofCleveland dedicated to supporting individuals with disabilities and building meaningful connections across our community. Grateful for the chance to visit & see their impact up close!

Shoutout to the students from the West Shore Career-Tech MEMS program who participated in the Career-Tech Statehouse Showcase this Feb! So proud of the local talent & students who are already ready to join NEO’s growing tech & manufacturing economy 📰🔗👇🏼 lakewoodobserver.com/articles/commu…

This year, Huck is also teaming up with the Ohio Dept of Tourism @OHHeartofitAll to represent our state nationwide. His helmet says it all—five Buckeye leaf stickers, one for each of his 5️⃣ Ohio State Championship wins!

Proud to recognize one of Ohio’s coolest 11-year-olds, Bay Village’s Huck Kurinsky, on the House floor for winning his 4th BMX National Championship! From landing backflips to partnering with @HuffyBicycles & @OHPediatricians to promote helmet safety, Huck is making Ohio proud
