Every Ohioan can be proud tonight - Issue 1 was rejected by a huge majority - by Democrats, Independents, and a lot of Republicans too. Issue 1 was an undemocratic power grab and a huge waste of taxpayer money and time. But Ohio stood up and said no.

For months, Republican leaders in Ohio have refused to draw fair state legislative maps. Last night, the Ohio Supreme Court rejected those maps for the 3rd (!!!) time, delaying the May primary. Gov. DeWine, Sec. LaRose, & others won’t stop rigging the process. It’s shameful.

Honored to meet with @GovMikeDeWine today in Columbus to discuss safety, education, and more. Partnering with our state government is critical to Akron’s future.

I just want to take a moment to recognize the work of @MyNrhindi @AbbeyMarshall @hcomeriato and @rozmurph for @akrondevilstrip - I’ve directly witnessed them report on urgent community issues during a pandemic & racial justice uprising. That work will be part of Akron’s history.

This morning, I got in my mom’s Honda Accord (which just hit 200k), drove down to the BOE, and voted a ballot with my name on it. Over the last year of this campaign, I’ve tried to practice gratitude and find joy in the process. Thanks so much folks (and please get out and vote)!

Had lunch today with Billy Soule, who served for 13 years in city government, managing community engagement and the Akron Peacemakers youth program. Billy is an amazing public servant.
