Hey,

In case you missed it, an end-of-year report that was recently released shows what we've known all along: Mike DeWine's first year as governor cost Ohio jobs for the first time since 2009, while he passed one extreme bill after the next.

Chip in now and join the team that is fighting back against DeWine's right-wing agenda.

Thanks,

Greg

Hi,

I just looked back at all of the things Mike DeWine did in his first year in office, and despite all you hear about how "moderate" he is -- DeWine's agenda has been a dream come true for right-wing extremists.

Here's just a sampling of DeWine's "accomplishments":

• Signed into law one of the nation's most restrictive abortion bans

• Millions in funding for fake health clinics that shame and lie to women

• Nothing done to stop the epidemic of gun violence and a broken promise to gun safety advocates after Dayton

• Millions of dollars taken out of public schools to fund private school vouchers

• New rules designed to kick Ohioans off their Medicaid health coverage

On top of all that -- Ohio has lost more than 4,000 jobs since DeWine took office in January.

DeWine might have the right-wing special interests on his side, but we have grassroots supporters like you. Every dollar that you chip in helps us fight back against DeWine's agenda -- and with one extreme bill after another this year, we need all hands on deck.

Throughout DeWine's first year in office, Ohioans have been struggling -- but instead of fighting for reforms and investments to lift up our communities, Mike DeWine and the Ohio GOP have spent most of their time doing the bidding of right-wing extremists and special interest groups.

I can only hope that in 2020, Gov. Mike DeWine will spend more energy lifting jobs and wages for everyday Ohioans and far less doing the bidding of right-wing special interests -- but if not, we need to be ready to fight back.
