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👇🏼

Is it not convenient that our Secretary waited until it was “too late” to make a decision on drop boxes? After voting rights groups and Dem lawmakers have been asking for months. Why did he even ask AG Yost (then not even wait for an answer)...to stall? THIS IS VOTER SUPPRESSION.

Secretary of State Frank LaRose said he is banning county boards of elections from offering more than one drop box for completed absentee ballots, saying it’s grown too late to make changes to how Ohio will administer this year’s presidential election.

10 years ago this week, Ohioans rejected Senate Bill 5 and upheld collective bargaining rights for public sector workers–from teachers and firefighters to police and corrections officers. A historic victory for the middle class, it inspires us to keep fighting for working people.

SOS LaRose says he has spent all CARES money he got from the federal govt. That's his most recent excuse as to why he can't prepay postage. He refuses to show us his budget. I did some digging.... The CARES money was put into a fund that shows $16 million in it. What's the truth?

Ohio's constitutional deadline for its first attempt at a new Congressional map is only a week from today. Ohioans deserve public hearings and fair maps that reflect voter preferences. We cannot repeat the last process which delayed until the last minute and ignored voters.

The Ohio GOP’s proposed maps are an egregious partisan gerrymander, violating the spirit and the letter of redistricting reforms approved by 75%+ of voters. It’s deeply unfortunate that all 5 GOP commissioners chose their party over our state by voting for these maps.

How I really feel about the gaslighting and political hit job we witnessed at today’s Ohio Ballot Board Meeting by SOS LaRose and his adopted ballot language for Issue 1, which is grossly misleading and deceptive. Ohio’s voters will not be fooled.

SoS LaRose has repeatedly refused to ensure Ohio voters who are ELIGIBLE to vote are not included in his haphazard, last-minute voter purges. We know that mistakes have been made in the past—If LaRose got it wrong then, why are we supposed to trust that he’s got it right now?

Reminder that this is a CHOICE. The State has the means to fund childcare and increase eligibility but instead the Majoriy party would rather play politics and pass meaningless laws that don't actually help people. This should be unacceptable.

Prove it. Have your IT department match each voter you purged against the current voter database and tell us which voters were purged for being duplicates. It shouldn’t be hard. You have their first name, last name, birthdate... 3/

We remove inactive registrations after we’ve learned a voter has moved & not been active at that address for more than FOUR YEARS. That’s been federal law for three decades, and it’s essential to keeping our rolls honest by eliminating duplicate registrations.

This choice comes amid reports of staff turnover in LaRose’s office. Rather than be a neutral referee, LaRose has used the SOS’s office as a partisan platform — even using taxpayer $ to move his office into the same building as his failing Senate campaign.
