This “kid from Cleveland” sponsored a new law that significantly updated our Ohio Revised Code, modifying terms rooted in historical trauma, resulting in unnecessary harm for people with disabilities, their families, and advocacy organizations.

It's been an honor of a lifetime working for the beautiful people of central Ohio. And we're just getting started.

When I think about the history of Memorial Day, I go back to May 1865, shortly after the end of the Civil War, when Black people in Charleston, South Carolina, held the first Memorial Day, originally known as Decoration Day. (1/4)

It’s the most extensive language update we’ve made to the Ohio Revised Code in the history of the Ohio Revised Code. We did it.

I’m proud to welcome the first Somali restaurant to Easton Town Center, Fay’s Crepes. This is a big deal. We only have a few minority-owned businesses at Easton, so their success is dependent on our collective investment. That said, I hope #allofus visit their restaurant.
