Those who support Issue 1 say that, if it fails, all sorts of horrible things are going to happen in Ohio. If that is the case, ask yourself, “Why haven’t they happened in the 111 years of majority rule in Ohio?”

Vote NO
In the wake of Ohio’s biggest public corruption trial, I am proud to introduce HB 120 alongside
@RepWeinstein
. Ohioans are paying the price for this corrupt legislation, and it is time we put Ohio’s consumers first and repeal HB 6.
#OHCostofcorruption
About to vote NO on SJR 2 - This resolution supports minority rule in Ohio - diluting your vote - giving 40%+1 of Ohioans an inordinate amount of power. Stay tuned.
What an honor it was to host Senators

We had an engaging conversation about the importance of supporting Ukraine for our national security, protecting democracy, and securing world peace. 🇺🇦
My heart breaks that the City of Parma Police Department lost one of its finest officers Kandice Straub. My prayers are with her family, friends, and co-workers.

In my wheelhouse today. Met with fellow reps, educators(!), and others, including the State of Ohio Superintendant of Instruction to talk about how to improve student achievement. We must include educators in the conversation. They are the experts.
I am very blessed to have so many caring friends. Please know how much I love & care for you all. You give me the strength, stamina & determination to do this hard work. I am honored by your undying support!
Thanks for marching with me in the Parma Polish Constitution Day parade.
My communication to Governor DeWine yesterday:
Good morning Governor. My district (Parma, Parma Heights, and Cleveland’s West Side) was hit very hard by a tornado yesterday.

I am very pleased that Ohioans have spoken in a bipartisan fashion that they revere direct democracy in Ohio.
I have always felt that it is one of those things that makes us special!
As a public school teacher for three decades, I am proud to co-sponsor H.B. 411 to increase the base salary Ohio’s teachers!

We need relief NOW from inflation!
Working with my colleagues on the Public Utilities Committee to push back on E-Check. 93% (approx. 800,000) of vehicles pass each year - that’s a lot of pollution created just going to get the check. Big vehicles are exempt. Cost Ohio taxpayers $11 million per year!

Can I share? This week I spoke to a group of students & shared my story about my dad abandoning us. My message was to stay strong & that only you have control over your happiness. A little girl raised her hand & share that her parents are divorcing. I’ve prayed for her since.🙏
