Ohio elected officials need to begin working NOW on a convenient vote by mail option for November.
In Colorado, every voter gets a mail-in ballot, and we're one of the top states for voter turnout. Making it easier for people to have their voices heard in our democracy is the right thing to do — regardless of party.

We suggest you meet with the parents of Walnut Hills students and explain why 6 ft. distancing advised by CDC should not apply to their children.
We have finished vaccinations in Cincinnati Public Schools, but we learned this week that Walnut Hills High School will remain remote the entire year. That simply is not acceptable.

Please explain why it's NOT safe for the public to watch a Reds game in person, but it is safe to cram 25 kids, a teacher and 1 or 2 other aides into a classroom. we want schools open ASAP, but it has to be done safely.

DeWine caused the 2020 spike in crime with his disastrous shutdown. You're entitled to your own opinion but not your own facts. The facts are that during my tenure as mayor, violent crime is down by over 23% in Cincinnati and homicides are down 21% YTD.

Fact check: Our 2500 members are in school buildings this week, exposed to more danger than necessary, because talk radio blowhards have called COVID a hoax and told their listeners that "freedom" means not wearing a mask to keep all of us healthy.
Just passed a Nursing Home with a sign in front that says.. Heroes Work Here.. A similar sign cannot be placed in front of Schools where Teachers refuse to teach .. Are Teachers part of an Essential enterprise or not. Many Teachers say NO.. I say YES..Do your Job. We need you.🇺🇸
