With SB215, the Republican supermajority is making it clear that they value the approval of the gun lobby more than the lives of Ohioans & the police officers who protect our communities every day. This is another extreme, dangerous bill brought to us by gerrymandered districts.

Exactly how many more dead children need to be analyzed & debated? People have lost faith in government because politicians continue to pander to extremism & gun industry profits over common-sense (and constitutional) reforms supported by the vast majority of Americans.

This is why people are losing faith in government to solve any of our problems. How about we analyze the problem, find logical solutions, and improve them with civil debate? Instead: @POTUS dictates unconstitutional, cynical, feel-good “solutions”. And the cycle repeats.

This is a sad day for democracy. The federal court’s ruling rewarded lawlessness, partisanship, and unchecked power. Corruption and extremism will continue in Ohio until politicians in power put the voices of voters ahead of politics.

Put simply, a few extremists on the State School Board want to risk federal funding used to feed hungry Ohio children, encourage schools to openly discriminate against a small group of kids, & legalize internal genital inspections for student athletes. Vote them out in November.

It’s been one week since 19kids+2teachers were killed with an AR-15 style rifle and 375 rounds of ammunition. The solution from Ohio Republicans is to put guns in the classroom with less training than what is required to be a summer lifeguard.

Is it civil to sign a bill forcing a 13yo rape survivor to carry her pregnancy to term? Because that’s what this Governor did in 2019 with the 6-week abortion ban, and that bill just became law. This sounds like cruelty, not civility.
