Akron, OH – In case you missed it, the Akron Beacon Journal endorsed Emilia Sykes for the 13th Congressional District.
"Sykes has been accessible and spoken about issues that matter to the 13th District, which includes all of Summit County, northwestern Stark County and a sliver of Portage County.” writes the Akron Beacon Journal Editorial Board. "If elected, Sykes said she is determined to build relationships with Republicans — even if she were to find herself in the minority — so that she can make government work for her constituents."
The editorial goes on to contrast Sykes' long history of listening to constituents and working across the aisle to fight for health care access, public safety and to protect our democracy with Madison Gesiotto Gilbert’s extremism and refusal to speak directly to voters:
"[I]n this case, we really must call out Gesiotto Gilbert. She is a Trump extremist who is eager to disparage Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi, but has nothing specific to say about the 13th District...Gesiotto Gilbert has been largely absent from the campaign trail, rarely allowed herself to be interviewed by journalists and never took part in a true public forum with media coverage."

This comes on the heels of an endorsement from Cleveland.com/The Plain Dealer editorial board, as well. “Voters in Ohio’s 13th Congressional District should send Emilia Sykes to Congress. Early voting in the Nov. 8 election has begun,” writes the editorial board.
