Nina grew up in Northeast Ohio, the oldest of seven children to working-class parents. She took her first job at age 14 to help make ends meet. After working her way through community college and graduate school, she started a career dedicated to keeping Ohio's poor, working poor and struggling middle class families afloat, too.

Nina made history in 2005 as the first African American woman to represent Ward 1 on the Cleveland City Council, and again in 2008 as the first woman to serve as a State Senator in Ohio’s 25th District.

In the Ohio state legislature, Turner repeatedly defended attacks on women’s health care freedom, partnered with organized labor to protect collective bargaining rights, and led the effort to create Ohio’s first task force on police and community relations to end racial profiling and police brutality.

In 2020, as national co-chair of Sen. Bernie Sanders’ presidential campaign, Nina consolidated nationwide support for progressive policies like a Green New Deal, $15 living wage, and Medicare for All.

Nina is running for Congress because Cleveland deserves a representative who knows that poverty is a policy choice — and it’s time to choose a new path.

Nina has a long history with Brand New Congress; she mentored our first group of candidates (including AOC) in 2017, and held rallies for Rep. Cori Bush’s elections in 2018 and 2020. That’s why we are proud to stand with Nina now.

John, we can’t let this opportunity slip us by again. Will you rush a split donation between Nina’s campaign and Brand New Congress so we can send Nina to Congress?

Nina’s experience as a mother, state and local leader and progressive powerhouse makes her THE best candidate for the job at a time when people are demanding truth, equity and justice from our elected leaders. She is the problem solver and master legislator America so desperately needs.

This is our moment. Your contribution today will help us scale up our team to bring this home for Nina – and for all of us.

Let’s win this.

Adrienne Bell
Executive Director
Brand New Congress

Since 2016 BNC has led the way in advancing popular policies like Medicare for All, the Green New Deal, and Abolishing ICE. In 2018 we recruited and elected AOC. In 2020, we elected Cori Bush and Jamaal Bowman, and we helped Rashida Tlaib win a tough re-election fight.

We are building yet another strong slate of progressives for 2022. Pitch in today and join us as we take over Congress and return power to the people.
