 John, I want to take a moment to thank you for letting me introduce myself and my campaign to you! We’re building something special here in Northeast Ohio, and I couldn’t be more grateful to have you by my side as we fight to bring real change to this community. During my time as State Representative for Akron and Ohio's State House Minority Leader, I stood up against politicians who simply didn’t care about the day-to-day lives of Ohioans. Despite serving in the minority, during my first year as leader the percentage of bipartisan bills passed was nearly double each of the previous two legislative sessions. Since launching my campaign, I’m proud to have earned the support of EMILY’s List, been placed on the highly competitive DCCC Red to Blue program, as well as gained the support of numerous local leaders and organizations. But I’m going to need this grassroots team by my side every step of the way to get the job done. WIll you join me by chipping in $5 to help us win this race?
John, as a child growing up in Akron, Ohio, I saw first-hand that Northeast Ohio families work hard every day but too often aren’t given the opportunity that many others enjoy. My parents taught me the values of hard work, never to give up, and that public service means standing up for others because it’s the right thing to do, not because it serves your political career. And that means picking fights on behalf of the people against the powerful. I'm running for Congress because Northeast Ohio needs a fighter who isn’t afraid to stand up for them when the powerful tell me to sit down and embrace the status quo. I'm ready to stand up for our jobs, for affordable healthcare and education, and for bipartisan cooperation to actually get things done. This race is shaping up to be one of the most competitive in the entire country. I'm ready to get to work but I’ll need your help to win. Please consider a contribution of $5 or $10 today.
