Is there anything I can say?

John, Is there anything I can say to convince you to split a donation to my Senate campaign and Shontel Brown today? [link removed] What if I told you that a recent poll shows me 1 point down in this race? What if I told you that experts at The Cook Political Report just moved Ohio to a …

The MAGA trap

John, The field in Ohio is officially set. Shontel fended off our primary opponents earlier this month, and now we need all hands on deck to defeat our Republican opponent this November and secure her re-election. There is too much at stake for anyone to sit on the sidelines. Trump is trying t…

In honor of Memorial Day

Happy Memorial Day, John! On this day, we honor those who bravely served and gave their lives for our country. It’s a sacrifice that can never be repaid. It is not lost on me how critical today is for every American’s freedom. Whether it's securing freedom abroad or fighting for the rights of …

Ohioans deserve answers.

John, Recently, I joined Ohio’s Democratic members of Congress in sending a letter to Ohio’s Secretary of State demanding answers about his decision to turn over sensitive voter information of nearly 8 million Ohioans to the Trump administration. Most states have declined these demands to prot…

A billion dollars a day

John, House Democrats have been working to force a vote to constrain Trump’s ability to wage his war in Iran every day until it passes or US operations cease in the region. I was proud to have recently introduced the Congressional Progressive Caucus’s War Powers Resolution. The American people…

In the news: Shontel secures $1.1 million to develop Cleveland Metroparks

John, In case you missed it, Shontel Brown has secured federal aid to convert 106 acres of shoreline near the St. Clair-Superior and Glenville neighborhoods in Cleveland into publicly accessible green space. It took more than a year to secure the money, but it’s an essential step toward addressin…

On to the general →

John, We are nearing our first mid-month fundraising goal ahead of the general election, and we must remain on track to defend this seat against Shontel’s Republican opponent. As Trump has encouraged the gerrymandering of red states across the nation and worked to strip away voting rights in o…

I want you to hear it from me: I’m the Democratic nominee for Senate in Ohio.

John: I’m officially facing off against Jon Husted for Ohio’s Senate seat. So much hard work has brought us to this point, and I’m beyond grateful to everyone who has devoted their time, energy, and dollars to support my campaign so far. Because of you, Ohio is in play and we have a serious shot …

Happy Mother’s Day!

Happy Mother’s Day, John! Just under a week after winning our primary election, I am reminded that I would not be in this position, serving as the Congresswoman for Ohio’s 11th District, without my mother. By instilling in me the importance of education and perseverance, she has helped mold me…

Help Marcy and Shontel defend one of the toughest battleground districts in the nation

John, it's Marcy Kaptur HQ. Shontel Brown wanted us to let you know: Marcy — who's running to defend one of the toughest battleground districts in the nation — officially has an opponent. He's a hard-right MAGA candidate who came within a fraction of a percentage point of defeating Marcy in 2024.…

The clock is ticking

We had to reach out, John. Shontel Brown is hours away from the final end-of-month fundraising deadline before her primary election next week, and we need to ensure we have the resources needed to reach voters and turn them out to the polls. Republicans are out of control. From supporting Trum…

We can’t miss this goal

John, We are days away from the final end-of-month fundraising deadline ahead of our primary election on May 5th, and we’re still falling short of where we need to be to reach as many voters as possible. This is a critical election year, with control of the House hanging in the balance and Dem…

It’s immoral

John, As we near the primary election for our re-election campaign, we are reminded just how much is at stake. Trump and his cronies in Congress want more war. They want to consolidate more power. And they want to strip away our fundamental freedoms, from healthcare to food security. Meanwhile…

Banning stock trading

John, As Trump continues to manipulate markets, it’s clear that members of Congress, the Vice President, and their families should not be trading stocks. That’s why I am working with House Democrats to bring legislation banning stock trading to the floor. This shouldn’t be controversial – a…

Trump is unfit for office.

John, Trump is unhinged and unwell. He has wrecked our economy, and his war of choice is costing taxpayers over a billion dollars a day. Enough is enough. That’s why I am proud to have joined Congressman Jamie Raskin’s new bill to create a commission on Presidential Capacity, designed to ensur…

Affordability is not just a “buzzword.”

Ohio handed over voter information to Trump

Gas prices are going ⬆️

John, One of the impacts of Trump’s actions in the Middle East is that costs have and will continue to rise. In fact, Ohio is now number 2nd in the United States for the largest rise in gas prices over the last week, at 66 cents per gallon. That’s going to raise costs for not only regular driv…
