I’m calling for the release of The Epstein Files and Vivek Ramaswamy needs to do the same. Transparency is essential to keeping people safe.

As a victim of abuse and a mom, I know how serious this is. Ohio needs a Governor with zero tolerance for predatory behavior.

This is extraordinary. Against the odds, with limited time, though out-spent, the people of Douglas County won. Decisively.

We chose people over politics. Community over corruption. This win is local but it has a resounding impact for Colorado, the country, and future elections. LET’S GO!!!

“Things are tough.” Workers across America told us that the economy is getting worse - rising costs and corporate greed are leaving them behind. Read more about what they say needs to change:
Diverse focus groups surface pervasive economic pessimism
Former Sen. Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio, said he hopes the research from his new pro-worker group spurs policymakers to push back more on corporations.

Toledo Blade: Vivek Ramaswamy’s “insane…crazy talk,” attempts to “bend reality” while refusing to admit the “embarrassing truth that shows little understanding of fiscal reality.” The property tax gaffe reveals “the content of his character” t.co/qOUWGoz6wS

🚨 🚨

Beating Vivek and Stopping Ohio’s DOGE

A 🧵

It looks like Vivek has taken over the Ohio GOP in his run for Governor.

On the one hand, his candidacy is a risk to Ohio’s future, as he makes one reckless proposal after the next—doubling down on policies already

As Ohioans struggle, my policies will come from local communities not Elon Musk. I’ll fight to fully fund our public schools instead of your plan to defund them. And yes, transparency matters. Ohioans deserve to know why a candidate for Gov moved his business from OH to TX.

This is what people-powered looks like:

✅ $600K raised
✅ 10,200+ donations
✅ All 88 counties
✅ Avg gift: $23.23

We’ve raised more at this point than any Democrat for Governor in Ohio history.

Thank you. Let’s keep going. t.co/G4vNMz2hn3

All work has dignity. Americans are working harder than ever, with less to show for it.

Sherrod Brown is launching the Dignity of Work Institute to create an economy where work is valued, workers benefit from the wealth they create, and everyone can afford a decent living.

Our leaders should be focused on solving problems, not creating them. After a lifetime of hard work, our seniors have earned dignity in retirement—not uncertainty so billionaires like Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy can have another tax cut.

Vivek Ramaswamy promises to do to Ohio what Musk is doing to America.

While Congress is poised to slash Medicaid, which covers 800,000 Ohioans, to give tax cuts to billionaires.

Ohio needs a Governor who rejects the billionaire agenda and puts the health and well-being of everyday Ohioans first.

It’s clear Vivek Ramaswamy doesn’t know the same Ohioans I do. He calls Ohioans lazy. But I know Ohioans are resilient and hardworking. Our campaign is about bringing people together to build a future that works for everyone. Chip in today to help us fight back: secure.actblue.com/donate/loc_a...
