This #laborday and every day, we are proud to stand with working people, including the over 621,000 proud Ohio union members, to create good-paying jobs and an economy that works for everyone. Unions built our middle class. And the working class and middle class built Ohio. Happy Labor Day! #UnionStrong

Hundreds -- and growing -- of educators, parents, community members are outside the statehouse to demand that legislators reject the budget that takes money from public school students and hands it to the wealthy and to billionaire sports franchises.

3 years after the Dobbs ruling and 2 years after Ohioans overwhelmingly voted to enshrine abortion rights in the state constitution, Ohio Republicans are still trying to ban abortion. @ohiogop it's time to listen to the 57% of Ohioans who made it clear— we won't go back.

Ohio Republicans want to ban reproductive rights— outlawing IVF and IUDs and charging women who have abortions with homicide. Ohio voters overwhelmingly approved abortion in 2023 and now dangerous Republicans are openly going against what voters want. news5cleveland.com/news/politics/…

Praying for all of my legislator friends in MN right now. The news of this act of political violence is horrific and devastating. Former Speaker Melissa Hortman was someone I had the pleasure of getting to know over the last several years during our time as legislative leaders, and I am heartbroken for her family and colleagues. Violence is never the answer—in politics or anywhere else.

Today, Senate Democratic Leader Nickie J. Antonio and House Democratic Leader Allison Russo issued statements concerning the politically motivated attack on two Minnesota state lawmakers.

Our statement on the assassination of our Speaker, Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark. “We are shocked and devastated at the shootings of our colleagues, and at the assassination of our Speaker, Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark. This is an unspeakable act of political violence that should never happen in the United States of America. “Melissa was an incredible leader who dedicated her life to public service. She led our caucus with integrity, grace, and with determination to improve people’s lives. We are holding in our hearts Melissa and Mark’s families, their friends, their legislative family, and all who knew and loved them. “Melissa talked a lot about following the Golden Rule, and the value that ‘to whom much is given, much is expected.’ She felt she had the ability and the obligation to serve others. And serve others she did. Minnesota is an immeasurably better state because Melissa Hortman chose to serve. Generations of Minnesotans will be better off thanks to her leadership. She was a dear friend to so many, and this caucus will miss her and Mark greatly. “We are also thinking about Senator John Hoffman and his wife Yvette, and we hope for their speedy recovery. We are grateful to law enforcement and the first responders who responded to these horrific acts, and we thank them for the ongoing work to apprehend the suspect and keep Minnesota’s public servants safe.”

It’s a choice. Our values and the tax structure we use are a statement of our values. It’s a question of values and will. @OhioHouseDems

The Ohio House passed their version of the state budget yesterday. It cuts 770,000+ Medicaid recipients and guts funding for public education & libraries. Not to mention the $600 million it hands to the Brown’s billionaire owners. Ohioans deserve better than this budget.

💪🏽 This General Assemby is the FIRST TIME women make up HALF of the Ohio House Democratic Caucus! Representation matters. 💪🏽 The Ohio Democratic Women's Legislative Caucus convened for the 136th General Assembly - and I’m excited to announce I was elected the Policy Chair!!

Your freshman class Ohio Dem State Reps!

Today’s reported neo-Nazi marches in downtown Columbus have no place in our community or anywhere else. While these cowards march with their faces covered, we will openly stand together and never back down to hate and fear.

Some Election Nights are harder than others, and this one was hard. But, I’ll give you a nugget of positive: @OhioHouseDems successfully fought to hold all of our seats and picked-up two more. It’s an incredibly talented group of public servants, and our work for Ohio continues.

Time has been flying! We are now just 7 hours, 43 minutes away from voting polls being closed
