We WON!!! Thank you so much to the voters of Ohio House District 6 who put their trust in me. I am proud to be your Democratic nominee and I promise to always fight for you, lead with empathy, and advocate for our most vulnerable neighbors. Onward to the general!
I’m so proud that our campaign was again featured on
@TheLastWord
with
@Lawrence
last night! The last few days have left me completely in awe of what this team has accomplished. I could not be more grateful.
Good morning ☀️ I’m excited to announce that I'm running for State Representative in Ohio House District 6!
It's time for a new generation of leaders to fight for progressive values in the Statehouse and to advocate for the West Side.
Learn more at .
Today is the day! I have to say it's pretty surreal to vote for myself, but I'm proud of this campaign and I'm excited to bring this race home! Make sure you make a plan to vote today before 7:30pm and bring a valid form of ID. 🗳️
So happy to be out supporting
@SherrodBrown
with special guest
@CoryBooker
. Ohio is the most important state in holding our Senate majority. I’m committed to ensuring District 6 shows OUT for Senator Brown in November.
Transit development is long overdue on the West Side. The need for fast, clean, and consistent public transit, especially along a re-imagined West Broad will be a huge game changer.
I’m excited to partner with
@SecretaryPete
and other stakeholders to see this project through.
Columbus has experienced rapid growth, with three million residents predicted by 2050. With the city facing multiple transit deserts, we're awarding funding to build a new rapid bus corridor, which will connect communities with new transit options.

Hear what I had to say last night on
@TheLastWord
about why the West Side deserves a representative who leads with empathy and fights for the most vulnerable among us. Thanks again
@Lawrence
for the opportunity to speak to your audience!
I'm excited to announce our last fundraiser before the primary will be on March 16th at 5:30pm w/ young leaders across Central Ohio and special guest
@davidhogg111
! Join us for conversations about why the West Side deserves someone who leads with empathy.
Excited to announce that I just filed my petitions at the Franklin County Board of Elections for Ohio House District 6! Proud to say I submitted nearly triple the required amount. I am looking forward to being on ballot next year 🗳️
A few of my priorities in the Statehouse will be:
✅ Working for clean, safe and affordable neighborhoods
✅ Protecting abortion access and LGBTQIA+ rights in Ohio
✅ Investing in high quality public education
✅ Keeping our communities safe from gun violence
Let's get to work!
Last night, I had the pleasure to meet with the Statehouse Jewish Caucus. Next year, I intend to join this growing group of legislators, who bring a unique perspective to the work they do for all Ohioans!
Thank you
@RepWeinstein
@BerylBrownPic
&
@Isaacsohn
for your mentorship!
As we commemorate this Trans Day of Visibility, I'm sending love to our trans community across Ohio.
Together let's celebrate Trans joy and recommit ourselves to defending human rights for all.
We had BIG campaign finance filing numbers yesterday! We raised $59,505.24 thanks to volunteers, community leaders, and a strong presence talking to voters. And we are just getting started!
I'm honored to receive the endorsement of
@Leaderswedeserv
. As a young candidate for office, I understand how crucial it is that we elect fresh, new leadership — on all levels — to bring much needed change for the future, today.
Coming to a screen near you! 📲💻
I’m so proud to say our campaign has launched our first digital ad! Take a quick look to see my plan to support working families and bring empathetic leadership to the West Side.
Then chip in a few bucks to keep our ad online! 💪
I’m honored to earn the endorsement of
@runforsomething
. Their work is valuable in building up progressive candidates across the nation, and I’m excited to work with them as we strive to win this election.
I feel so humbled and inspired by the outpouring of support from so many friends, neighbors, and supporters today! I know we can win this race and build a better Ohio together. 💪
I’m closing in on my campaign launch fundraising goal. Chip in here:
A dark day for Ohio. Trans rights are human rights and extremists in the Ohio legislature should not be targeting trans youth, who already face entirely too much stigma and discrimination.
I urge everyone to call the Governor and ask him to veto this disgusting legislation.
Today, the Ohio General Assembly passed:
-Trans sports ban
-Trans healthcare ban
-$67 mil natural gas subsidy for economic development
And the House (not yet Senate) voted to override a veto that would have the effect of expanding tobacco access in Ohio.
....All today.
Republicans’ extreme agenda to control our bodies and medical decisions has, predictably, led us here. Now they want to ban IVF treatments.
Ohioans spoke loud and clear last year: Extremist politicians should stay OUT of our Reproductive decisions.
I've been getting a few calls from the press today regarding the Supreme Court Decision in Alabama that acknowledged that embryos are children. Of course, they are! 💯
While we are traveling 293 million miles and are spending $2.9 billion to discover life on Mars 🚀 we are…
The override of Governor DeWine’s veto is an unconscionable attack on some of the most vulnerable Ohioans. I stand with the trans community in Ohio, and will continue to fight against this and any further attacks on the trans community.
Ohio Senate votes to override
@GovMikeDeWine
veto of HB68, which bans gender-affirming health care for minors & restricts transgender girls from participating in school sports.
House already did. So the bill becomes law in 90 days.
I’m not a typical politician. I’m 27 years old & would be one of the youngest members of the Ohio House.
A donation of just $5, $10 or $25 can have a huge impact in this race. Will you chip in right now to become a founding donor to my campaign?
I am so honored to receive my first labor endorsement from
@bletohio
.
I believe in the power of organized labor, and I’m excited about the expansion of freight and passenger rail in Ohio. I look forward to representing their members and working with them in the Statehouse.
I'm honored to receive the endorsement of Vote Pro-Choice. As a champion for reproductive rights, including abortion rights, I'll fight to protect what Ohioans passed last November and work to stop further attacks by Republicans at the Statehouse.

Gun Sense Candidate distinction. I'm proud to stand for common sense gun reform which will make our communities safer.
I’m running because this District means so much to me. It’s my home, and it deserves a representative who will lead with empathy.
Will you chip in to become a founding donor to my campaign & help bring West Side values to the Statehouse?
I’m so grateful to have such dedicated volunteers. While I’m participating in a Leadership program and I couldn’t be on the doors, this team canvassed in the cold. I tried to be there in spirit/Photoshop, though!
We knocked 1000 doors in under two weeks. Thank you, volunteers!
Our state parks are one of our most valuable resources. Leasing public land for fracking is abhorrent and reprehensible.
It’s wrong for our climate. It’s wrong for our health. It’s wrong for Ohio. 🏞️
The Commission’s decision to lease Salt Fork State Park for fracking drags Ohio backward on climate change.
The Commission's decision puts the health of Ohioans at risk.
Both are deeply concerning.
5 years ago today, I got to do
@SherrodBrown
’s first Instagram takeover! My experiences in Sherrod’s office, on the campaign trail and through constituent services, have shaped the person I am today. Honored I had the opportunity to work for someone who embodies public service!

And thank you to the State legislators who continue to advocate for our LGBTQ+ community.
BREAKING NEWS: Ohio Republican

Good
@Amtrak
service shouldn’t be a privilege just for those on the coasts.
New routes proposed today would help grow businesses, create jobs, and connect communities in Ohio & across the Midwest. I’ll keep fighting to make sure Ohio's at the center of Amtrak's expansion plans.
It is an honor to receive the Matriots’ endorsements because I know that the only way we accomplish our goals and move forward is by working together. I am proud to work with the Hive towards a future where women have equal power and influence.
This week, the sign in our yard went missing. I shrugged it off and put a new one up. Turns out, the first sign just found a better home!
Dave has been a friend and neighbor for years. This March, he has a plan to vote for the first time ever. I’m honored to have his support.
A great day for canvassing! I’m incredibly grateful to have so many amazing volunteers. Sign up to help out next weekend— the last weekend before the primary.

@NLC_Columbus
family for hosting. We're full steam ahead 🚂 going into the last stretch of this campaign. I'm honored to have so much support around me.
Last night I kicked off my campaign in HD-6. I want to highlight a few neighbors that helped make this kickoff a success.
Thank you to Josie’s Pizza, Thunderwing Brewing, the host committee, & everyone in between. I couldn’t do this without you.
I'm devastated to hear about the destruction and loss of life from last night's tornado outbreak across Central Ohio. My thoughts are with all those affected.
When Issue 1 first appeared on the Ballot in August, these two were unwavering in their stance, morals, and values. Thank you
@MillieVaughanOH
and
@wenzelvania

DeWine wants to create a program that focuses on well care for kids on Medicaid. He said it will help kids with prevention/management of diseases like asthma or Sickle Cell Anemia. He says within 3 years, Ohio can lead the nation in the treatment of Sickle Cell disease.
Thankful to spend this Thanksgiving with my family and new, twin niece and nephew. Wishing all a relaxing and bountiful Thanksgiving with friends, family, and loved ones. 🦃
My nephew was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes at age 3. Ever since we have been participating in JDRF’s One Walk. Please consider donating to our team in honor of John!

It was an honor to drive in the First Lady’s motorcade when she came to Columbus this Summer! Still in awe that I was one of two civilians chosen to welcome the First Lady to Columbus. 10/10 recommend driving an SUV or minivan on an airport tarmac (with permission, of course).
Ohio Gov. DeWine signed an executive order that bans hospitals from performing gender transition surgeries on minors. No Ohio children’s hospital performs gender-affirming surgery on patients under 18 currently.

Had a great day today knocking doors with volunteers across District 6. Also, my day wouldn't be complete without finishing it off with a burger from Johnnie's Tavern! 🍔
Please be mindful of the weather today. Ohio is forecasted to have some of the worst weather in the US, including risks of severe storms and tornadoes. Make sure you have a plan to keep you and your family safe.
Central Ohio's growth must be built by organized labor.
I stand with these workers in their demands for fair wages and a full agreement to hire local union workers to build the expansion at John Glenn Columbus International Airport.
Signs are going up all over the district! 🪧👀 These purple signs are more than a decoration— they show the strength of a people-powered campaign. If you live in HD-6 and would like one, let us know:

A reminder that trans rights are human rights!
Ohio needs legislation that supports and protects our trans community— trans rights are human rights.

Today marks 51 years since Roe V. Wade. While this decision was overturned with Dobbs, we as Ohioans succeed in codifying abortion rights into our state constitution this past November. I continue to be proudly pro-choice and will continue to fight for reproductive freedom.

HB 68 passed out of the Statehouse yesterday.
If signed, this bill would ban gender-affirming care for trans youth as well as ban trans women and girls from participating in school sports.
Send Gov. DeWine an email demanding a VETO on HB 68:
We’re out hitting doors in Hilliard on this snowy day ❄️❄️ Grateful to everyone who came out to talk to voters and can’t wait to hit the doors again tomorrow!
It may be cold outside but this election is really heating up! 🔥
There are SIX other candidates in the race which means I need to raise even more than I planned to get my message out to voters.
With just 2 months to go: Will you chip in right now? ⬇️
Columbus Urban League’s Empowerment Day 2023 was informative and inspiring.
It was such a joy celebrating community leaders that advocate for and advance racial equity and social justice.
This morning’s coffee and encouragement from
@MatriotsOhio
. Each morning the endorsed candidates recieve an email. One week until the primary election and I am grateful for their continued support.
So grateful for everyone who came out to knock doors with me on this winter day! I appreciate all the support and I’m looking forward to talking to more neighbors tomorrow. If you’d like to sign up to help out, join our mailing list at !
Ohioans made their voices heard loud and clear last week when they overwhelmingly passed Issue 1.
Abortion care is healthcare, and legislators should repeal any laws that restrict access and violate the new Ohio Constitutional language.
When you’re on the right side of history you keep going. We introduced the Reproductive Care Act to improve access. Thank you
