I'm a Democratic candidate for State Representative - Ohio House District 5. I'm eager to foster positive change for my community and Ohio.

Only one week until the Primary Election! I am running for office because I believe that my purpose in life is to be a public servant and give back to my community. I have over a decade of experience and I am ready to be the champion Ohio House District 5 needs at the Statehouse.

The March 19th Primary Election is just around the corner. I spent the weekend talking to voters. We knocked on over 450 doors! And I got to break in my new canvassing shoes.

Early voting in Ohio started today! I voted this morning. It was incredibly humbling to see my name on the ballot for the first time. Election Day is just around the corner. Will you make a contribution to support my campaign? You can donate here: https://t.co/NTQIdE2Weg

I had a great time speaking with voters and answering their questions at a candidate forum last night. Thank you to the Reynoldsburg Area Democrats for hosting this event!

Endorsement Alert! I’m proud to be endorsed by Reynoldsburg City Councilman Bhuwan Pyakurel! In 2019 he became the first Bhutanese American to be elected to public office in the US. Bhuwan and I share a passion for ensuring marginalized communities are represented in government.

We hosted an environmental leaders fundraiser in support of my campaign. Protecting the environment is a top priority for me, and I’m honored to have the support of friends and leaders in the environmental movement.

Endorsement Alert! I’m happy to announce that I’ve been edorsed by the Ohio Chamber of Commerce. If elected, I plan to focus on economic development and creating more jobs for hardworking Ohioans, particularly in House District 5.

It’s understandable that the union workers are frustrated. This is their livelihood and it’s disappointing to see some government officials and business executives downplaying the delays as routine. Hardworking Ohioans and their families are depending on these jobs.

An Ohio union leader and his members are feeling frustrated following the announcement that Intel is delaying its production timeline on a $20 billion semiconductor manufacturing facility.

What a busy weekend on the campaign trail! We knocked on over 500 doors and received a lot of positive responses. Just a little over six weeks until Election Day!

[Leo Almeida @LeoforOhio]

Another weekend spent out in the district and talking to voters in Reynoldsburg and Canal Winchester. The rain wasn’t ideal, but at least it wasn’t too cold.

[Leo Almeida @LeoforOhio]

Last night, I had my campaign kickoff and was joined by a group of friends and supporters. I’m incredibly grateful to those who were able to attend. My supporters understand the importance of having more diverse representation and a new generation of leadership at the Statehouse!

[Leo Almeida @LeoforOhio]

Another cold weekend for knocking on doors, but plenty of warm conversations with voters! #voteleoforohio #ohiodems #franklincountydems

[Leo Almeida @LeoforOhio]

Snow & rain can’t stop me from canvassing! I had lots of great conversations with voters over the past few days. People are excited to meet a young first-time candidate who can bring a new generation of leadership to House District 5. #VoteLeoforOhio #ohiodems #franklincountydems

In November, a reporter wrote an article about how the Ohio Legislature is on track to have its least productive year since 1955. Now they want to hurry back to override the Governor's veto on HB68. Medical decisions should be left up to families and their doctors, not the state.

[ACLU of Ohio @acluohio]

🚨The Ohio House plans to override @GovMikeDeWine's veto of HB 68, the bill banning gender-affirming care for trans youth.

⏰There is an emergency session scheduled for next Wednesday.

I've been certified as a candidate for State Representative. As a Latino and naturalized citizen, I know diversity at the Statehouse is crucial. I have always been passionate about public service, and since I became a citizen, I have known that I would one day run for office.

Happy New Year! 2024 will be an exciting and busy year. Wishing you and yours a happy and healthy year ahead.
