Yesterday, Ohioans spoke loud and clear at the ballot box, rejecting Issue One.
I couldn't be more thankful to everyone who volunteered, worked the phones, knocked on doors, and fought against this horrendous measure.
Issue One was nothing more than a political power grab by Republican extremists. To stop a citizen-led initiative to restore reproductive freedom, they tried to change the rules and silence the voices of Ohio voters.
Our fight against the GOP's extreme agenda is not over yet. Now, we have more work ahead, to repair democracy in our state and solidify reproductive freedoms all across Ohio this November.
As a Cuyahoga County Council member and Chairwoman of the Cuyahoga County Democratic Party, Shontel Brown has spent the last decade serving the people of Ohio and building coalitions. Now, as the Congresswoman for Ohio’s 11th District, she will fight for affordable quality health care, jobs that pay fair wages, a strong public education system, and equity and justice for all. Will you join her and be the change we need?
