Rep. Ashford at the NW Ohio Area on Aging’s annual educational and legislative breakfast. This year’s focus was on “How the Opioid Crisis Impacts Older Adults”

[Lucas County Commissioners @LucasCountyOhio]

House Bill 123 would close a loophole in Ohio pay day lending and reform the industry. Lucas County Commissioners support legislation to reform short-term small loan and mortgage loan laws in Ohio.

Today @city_of_toledo, @ColumbiaGasOhio and @MudHens announced their “Break a Bat, Plant a Tree” initiative. Every bat broken by a Toledo Mud Hens player at a home game, Columbia Gas will plant a tree at a Toledo Park. Very exciting! #ArborDay

By a committee vote of 9-1, HB 123, (legislation which will reform the predatory loan industry) will now head to the house floor.

[Michael Ashford @RepMikeAshford]

Our fight is not over. I’m committed to reforming a predatory industry that takes advantage of Ohio’s working class and working poor! https://t.co/HzykCadnJ5

I enjoyed meeting with @ToledoLibrary for their legislative advocacy day. Great conversation on the important role public libraries play in moving our communities forward through information, technology and education. #LibrariesLead

50 years gone by...We remember. We rise. We resist injustice, apathy, inhumanity. And we choose nonviolence: as a posture, as a philosophy, and as a path to systemic change, heart change and the Beloved Community. The dream lives and the revolution is here. #MLK #MLK50Forward

[Michael Ashford @RepMikeAshford]

Today, we unveiled the memorial highway markers honoring Toledo Firefighters James Dickman and Stephen Machcinski for their ultimate sacrifice. Renaming a portion of I-75 after these fallen heroes will forever show the unwavering support for the families and the Toledo community.

Yesterday, State Rep @brigidekelly and several @OHHouseDems colleagues introduced legislation (#HB576) to raise Ohio's minimum wage to $15 by 2025. 👏👏👏

A reminder: 17 yr old Ohioans who will be 18 by Nov 6 can register/vote in the May 8 primary - must register by April 9. And those who don't vote for candidates (as a journalist, I don't) can still vote in the primary for local issues and Issue 1 on Congressional redistricting.
