Tonight was an important victory for our state, the voters of Ohio and majority rule.
Ohio Dems were proud to play a part in stopping this power grab by out-of-touch politicians – most notably Frank LaRose, who is now officially Ohio’s biggest loser.
Ohio, you're paying $15 million for tomorrow's special election.
For that kind of money, you should at least be able to keep your rights.
Vote NO on Issue One.
Congresswoman
@JoyceBeatty
and the majority of Ohioans are ready to tell extreme politicians WE WON'T GO BACK to a time when women couldn't make their own medical decisions.
Vote YES on Issue 1 on or before November 7th!
The Ohio Democratic Party would like to extend our sincerest thanks to the thousands of volunteers who put in the work to defeat Issue 1. Together we made more than a million calls, knocked hundreds of thousands of doors, and successfully protected majority rule 💙

: "I’m guessing they don’t know any food stamps beneficiaries ... most people who get food stamps in this country already have jobs. They’re making $9 and $10 an hour because employers are not paying them livable wages and they’re eligible for food stamps ...”
BREAKING: Thousands of Ohioans will lose food stamps under change by Trump administration
And many more could lose benefits if additional proposed rules are enacted
Gov. Ted Strickland is voting YES on Issue 1 because he believes medical decisions should be between Ohioans and their doctors.
Stand with him by making your plan to vote Yes on Issue 1 on or before November 7th!
If Issue 1 passes, Ohio will become the only state in the entire country requiring signatures from every single county.
That would mean 1 single county could prevent Ohio’s other 87 from bringing an issue to a vote.
Issue 1 is undemocratic, unjust, and unfair
#VoteNoOnIssue1
Ohio, we did it. Together we successfully defended our rights from yet another attack by corrupt politicians.
But the fight is far from over. Ohio will decide control of Congress, which means we’re the last firewall between out-of-touch politicians and their extreme agendas.
In the next two hours, the future of reproductive rights in Ohio will be decided and every single vote will matter. Polls are open until 7:30.
Get out to vote YES on Issue 1, Ohio!
A 6-week abortion ban is not choice.
A 6-week abortion ban is not healthcare freedom.
A 6-week abortion ban is too extreme for Ohio.
Vote Yes on Issue 1.
There’s a lot of contestants in the race to spread the most misinformation about Issue 1.

The only way to protect Ohioans from dangerous policies like a national abortion ban is to send
@SherrodBrown
back to the Senate.
Without his leadership, Social Security, Medicare, and our fight to make sure hard work pays off for everyone will be under attack.
Our work is far from over. Over the next 90 days we’ll work to protect abortion rights. Together, with the majority of Ohioans who believe in protecting reproductive rights, we’ll tell corrupt politicians trying to strip away our rights: we won’t go back!

@JohnKasich
-- who happened upon the news conference -- said, “Thank you -- keep fighting for it.”
Lots of spooky stuff happening today but there’s nothing scarier than the very real threat of these men trying to take away your rights.
While you have a safe and happy Halloween with your family, don’t forget that we are only a week out from the election. Vote YES on Issue 1!
Frank LaRose is blaming everyone but himself for pushing a $20 million special election on taxpayers and failing.
LaRose is so focused on his own political ambitions, he will throw anyone under the bus, including Ohio voters.
Ohioans have put in months of tireless work fighting for their reproductive rights. Tomorrow, we go the ballot box and make our voices heard once and for all.

and the majority of Ohioans in voting YES on Issue 1.
We want to clear up any confusion about the difference between the August Issue 1 and the November Issue 1.
In August we voted to shut down Republican attempts to end majority rule.
This November, we are voting YES to protect abortion rights in Ohio!
In every part of the state, Ohioans are fighting for their rights this weekend by encouraging their neighbors to vote Yes on Issue 1.
We’re proud to stand with the majority of Ohioans in supporting reproductive freedom.

Today our state Constitution officially includes reproductive rights for Ohio women. Ohioans can breathe a sigh of relief knowing women and families can get access to reproductive care when they need it, without government interference.
The majority of Ohioans stood up to
Ohio is the only state in the country that can flip its Supreme Court.
With Republican efforts to restrict our freedoms, and changing the playbook when they can’t, we need a Court that will serve as a line of defense against extremist attacks on our rights.
That's why today we
Two weeks ago Democratic volunteers knocked on 10,000 doors.
The weekend after that, we knocked 12,600
Last weekend: 12,900 knocked. The most yet this election.
Let’s expand that number again during our upcoming Weekend of Action and ensure we turn out to vote Yes on Issue 1!

A 6-week abortion ban without exceptions for rape and incest is paused by the courts in Ohio. If Issue 1 fails, that extreme ban can resume.
We must vote YES on Issue 1 to protect Ohio women from the effects of that ban.
Today, Ohio Democrats endorsed a ballot initiative that would protect Ohioans' reproductive rights and keep politicians out of the personal, medical decisions of Ohio women. Read Chair
@lizmwalters
statement below:
Ohio, there’s an important election happening right now.
If you want to protect abortion rights by making them part of your state Constitution, vote yes on Issue 1.
Visit and make your plan to vote before November 7th.
Extremist Ohio Republicans like Mike DeWine and JD Vance might think overturning Roe was just the beginning, but a few thousand Ohioans showed up on the steps of the Statehouse to make one thing clear -- We Won’t Go Back
In the 2022 special election, just 8% of Ohioans voted.
In August 2023, with majority rule on the ballot, more than 38% of Ohioans showed up to the polls.
Let's boost that turnout even higher to protect Reproductive Freedom this November. Voting starts next week!

With Ohio's position as the only state in the country that can flip its Supreme Court in 2024, we need all hands on deck to defend our democracy by re-electing Melody Stewart and Michael Donnelly, and electing Lisa Forbes to the bench.
After Roe v. Wade was overturned by SCOTUS, Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost took legal action to activate Ohio’s 6-week abortion ban in mere minutes.
If Issue 1 fails, he’ll act just as quickly to strip your rights yet again.
Voting Yes on Issue 1 is the only way to stop him.
Congresswoman
@EmiliaSykesOH
worked to eliminate sales taxes on feminine hygiene products in Ohio and helped create the Ohio Black Maternal Health Caucus. She’s a champion of women’s rights and reproductive rights.
That’s why she’s voting YES on Issue 1.
Thank you to the volunteers and organizers who fueled our efforts to protect abortion rights. Together we knocked more than 360,000 doors and made more than 650,000 phone calls.
In total, we talked to more than double the number of voters we did in August!
All eyes are on Ohio in 2024 because we can:
👩⚖️ Flip our Supreme Court
🏛️ Flip the majority in the U.S. House
💲 Establish a fair wage
🗳️ End gerrymandering
✅ Re-elect

Ohio has fended off attacks on our rights all year long. In 2024, we must reelect Senator Brown to stop his opponents from overruling Ohioans by passing a national abortion ban.
Stop politicians from inserting themselves into our private, personal medical decisions.
Keep power and freedom in the hands of the people.
Vote Yes on Issue 1.
