True Liberal American, individual's rights, global cooperation, environment, but also support gun rights. I oppose further welfare or free college. I believe in a less centralized government than Democrats, and that the GOP is a terrorist organization.

How about that? A girl grows up in a small town, becomes a public servant, takes on a billionaire and wins a state. Congratulations, Justice-elect Crawford. Keep going, everyone!

Spent the afternoon with a big group of our neighbors in Lucas County—so many thoughtful conversations, kind faces, and a sense of shared purpose. I was lucky to meet everyone in the room... and even luckier to enjoy some amazing homemade cookies (thank you, Dorothy!). 💛🍪

Our leaders should be solving problems, not creating them. Families are already stretched thin—and now this. We need a real strategy to lower costs and give people a little breathing room. This isn’t it.

Nothing brings our communities together more than Ohio's wonderful system of public libraries. Truly a crown jewel of our state. As governor, I will defend Ohio's libraries against those who attack their funding and vitality. ohiocapitaljournal.com/2025/04/04/o...

Great to meet with the nearly 200 Democratic leaders and advocates who came together in Dayton on Saturday! Great enthusiasm around working for policies that make life better for all Ohioans.

The legislature’s proposal to slash Ohio's amazing system of public libraries is unconscionable, and will harm children, families and communities across the state. As Governor, I will fight against efforts to take away our right to enjoy them and the vital services they provide.

Whether you’re a teacher, tradesperson, nurse, or small business owner—you deserve a governor who has your back. I’m running to build an economy that rewards work, not just wealth.

Our leaders should solve problems, not create them. Ohioans shouldn’t have to pay the price for reckless trade wars. We need a real plan to lower costs and raise wages—one that starts with listening to local communities, not picking fights to look tough.

Packed house in Mahoning County last night! Grateful for the warm welcome—and thank you, Mayor Tito Brown, for the kind introduction and for your leadership.

Still holding on to this note from an 11-year-old who I met last week: “Kindness isn’t weakness. Kindness is a verb.” Sometimes the youngest among us say it best.

Ohioans don’t want handouts—we want opportunity. That means strong unions, fair wages, and an economy that works in every zip code. I’ll fight for the kind of prosperity that lifts everyone up.

Musk needs to ceasefire with the vandals and let them keep the dealerships.

No wonder Republicans hated Biden, they want to destroy this country.

IMPEACHMENT VOTE NOW!

Ohio’s best days are ahead of us. But we need leaders who believe in our people, our communities, and our future. That’s why I’m running—to bring us together and move Ohio forward.

Ohioans are ready for change—our leaders should solve problems, not create them. I’m running to bring people together and put Ohio families over special interests. Thank you, Curtis, for the thoughtful conversation.

On International Women’s Day, I celebrate the trailblazers, the caretakers, the change-makers—the women who lift their communities every day. Let’s keep breaking barriers, lifting each other up, and building a future where every woman can thrive.

Ohio’s economy should work for everyone—not just the wealthy and well-connected. That means investing in workers, small businesses, and the industries of the future. As Governor, I’ll make sure Ohio families come first, not corporate special interests.

Our leaders should be focused on solving problems, not creating them. After a lifetime of hard work, our seniors have earned dignity in retirement—not uncertainty so billionaires like Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy can have another tax cut.

What an incredible time in Medina! So many people ready for change, filled with hope and determination. This is what makes Ohio strong.

When Ohioans fall on hard times, they deserve leaders who lift them up, not politicians who want to make our lives harder and more expensive. As Governor, I’ll fight to expand economic opportunity, protect healthcare, and ensure no family is left behind.

Columbus, you inspire me. 💙 From heartfelt conversations to shared hopes for the future, meeting everyone has been a reminder of the power we have when we come together. Thank you for your energy, your stories, and your belief in what’s possible. Let’s keep going!

Ohio should be a place where every worker is treated with dignity and respect. That means standing up against wage theft, protecting collective bargaining rights, and holding corporations accountable. As Governor, I’ll put workers first.

Trump and Musk's cuts to the VA are a betrayal of those who served. Slashing 83,000 jobs means fewer doctors, longer wait times, and a crisis in Veteran care. The suicide hotline is losing staff. Critical research is at risk. Our Veterans deserve better.

This is going to drive business away from our state + even worse drive young people to build their lives outside of Ohio. Our biggest export is young people and we must reverse this trend. As Governor, I would veto this bill + I hope Gov DeWine does the right thing. www.dispatch.com/story/opinio...

Public education made me who I am—it opened doors and gave me opportunities I never imagined. But efforts to dismantle the Department of Education and restrict learning in Ohio will drive young people out, weakening our workforce and economy. We must invest in education to secure our future.

Packed house in Springfield with the Democratic Women’s Issues Network + Coalition of Clark County Women last night! Big thanks to Crystal Gnau + the organizing team — great to share the stage with State Rep Meredith Lawson Rowe + Kellie Copeland, executive director of @abortionforward.bsky.social.

Another busy weekend on the road. Thank you for the warm welcomes in Columbus, Canton and Akron.

Every Ohioan deserves the dignity of a good-paying job, affordable healthcare, and a government that works for them. I’m running for Governor to make sure no one is left behind. Join our movement today: bit.ly/4kZxkoD

My favorite part of this race? Meeting Ohioans face-to-face, hearing your stories, and sharing our vision for a better future—together. Grateful for the packed house in Cleveland today.

This is what people-powered looks like: ✅ $600K raised ✅ 10,200+ donations ✅ All 88 counties ✅ Avg gift: $23.23 We’ve raised more at this point than any Democrat for Governor in Ohio history. Thank you. Let’s keep going. t.co/G4vNMz2hn3

Our movement is everywhere—$600K raised, 10K+ donations, all 88 counties. More than any Democrat at this point in Ohio’s history. 💛 bit.ly/4kZxkoD

Reminder. Pass it on.

Found in London.

OMG! Mike Johnson has “TrumpFace” painted on.
