BIG MISTAKE!!!

[link removed] [[link removed]] John, Earlier this month, we approved a budget for May that we made based on April's performance. We thought we had enough momentum to keep pushing forward. !! But we made a HUGE mistake. Now, almost NO ONE is donating !! …

Did you see what Emilia’s opponent said about teachers?

[link removed] [[link removed]] John — FIRST: Trump issued an executive order that stripped union protections from more than 1 million federal workers across dozens of federal agencies. THEN: On the morning of National Teachers Day, Emilia’s MAGA-backed opponent told teachers unions to “go to hell…

Lowering our ask...

[link removed] [[link removed]] John, we want to be honest with you, even when it’s news we don’t want to share. Our campaign’s May fundraising has taken a drastic decline and we're pacing behind on our weekly finance deadline. So we’re lowering our ask to $1.50, John. Can you please chip in? [[l…

I’m worried...

[link removed] [[link removed]] John, I hate to share bad news, but it looks like we missed our mid-month deadline. We're still short by $542. Here's why I'm worried: OH-13 is one of the closest House races in the country, and deciding control of the House may come down to our race. Look, J…

I worked for a Republican Governor. Now I’m running to be a Democratic Governor.

Trump attack backfires

I mean every word I’m about to say: Donald Trump is the dumbest president ever to sit at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. His administration is the most corrupt in American history. In the middle of the night, he was more focused on taking cheap shots at me than working to bring down skyrocketing costs.…
