[Oh, Republicans! @OH_Republicans]

The Ohio GOP is out of control.

Should you run for office? Which office? When should you run? I tackle these questions in a new post on my Substack: https://t.co/vUXNdgyELY

I can relate to much of this as a parent of children with disabilities who grew up conservative Christian and has spent decades in the evangelical church. I have so much respect for women like Anna. Thank you for how you've advocated (and still do) for those outside the "norm"!

I'm writing on @substack about running for local office. My latest post is up and discusses the unique challenges of at-large elections for municipalities.

[Vouchers Hurt Ohio @VouchersHurtUs]

Vouchers go on trial in 2023. We’re challenging the constitutionality of private school vouchers. Spoiler: they’re unconstitutional and it’s time we end the harm they are causing our schools and our communities.

"The most corrupt state government in the country"

My husband gives people the thumbs down instead of flicking them off from the car. He reports that the thumbs down makes people even more mad.

@CincyBuckeye @cincyhustle513 They sure do! I’m an example. 😁 I’ll love my kid no matter what, and I’m determined to find a way to respectfully discuss and disagree.

[Joy Bennett, ‘22 Democratic candidate—Ohio House @joyforohio]

My 15-year-old just now: if I get a job at age 16, will I have to pay taxes?

Me: yes, on what you make after you earn $600.

Him: But I can’t vote until I’m 18. Isn’t that taxation without representation?! Didn’t we fight a whole big war over this?!

Me: excellent point…

[Joy Bennett, ‘22 Democratic candidate—Ohio House @joyforohio]

@tallGOPgamerguy I mean... what he's seeing (at age 15) is taxes automatically taken from a paycheck. Adults know it's more complicated than this. I like that he's observing, thinking, and asking questions. Your point is also a good one.

[Joy Bennett, ‘22 Democratic candidate—Ohio House @joyforohio]

@keltrott Right! It's much more complicated than just working and paying taxes, of course. I really like that he's thinking and asking questions.

[Joy Bennett, ‘22 Democratic candidate—Ohio House @joyforohio]

@CincyBuckeye Hah! Yeah, I know it's way more complicated than this. I do love that he's thinking and asking good questions though.

[Suzanne, not State Media🟧🟦 @LoveLaughShowUp]

Listen to the Warren County Dems. They know this stuff won’t keep people in the state.
