Last night’s State of the Union tried to sell an economy that feels very different from what Ohio families are experiencing. Costs are still high and paychecks are not stretching far enough. (1/2)

We are heartbroken by the tragic crash that took the lives of several service members. Their dedication and sacrifice will not be forgotten. Our thoughts are with their families, loved ones, and all who are grieving. 🇺🇸

High drug prices are hurting Ohio families.

Yesterday, Trump visited Cincinnati promoting ‘Trumprx,’ but a new name won’t lower costs.

House Democrats are introducing an affordability package in the coming weeks to deliver real solutions and make medicine truly affordable.

Happy Women’s History month from me and the ladies of @OHHouseDems

[Ohio House Dems @OHHouseDems]

We need policies grounded in reality and focused on lowering costs, not political theatre meant to further divide us. 🇺🇸💙

Ohio’s government has to stop choosing to help multi millionaires instead of the communities we represent.

Yesterday on the floor, an amendment to help Gold Star widows, provide tax breaks for baby supplies, and end SNAP fraud was blocked.

Instead of making life more affordable for families, the GOP prioritized tax cuts for Wall Street. 🧵 (1/2)

[Ohio House Dems @OHHouseDems]

Welcome to a new year, new session 💪💙 let's get to work!

[Ohio House Dems @OHHouseDems]

We have the ability to make childcare accessible for more families and unlock our full economic potential, but it means making very different choices in Columbus.

#ohio #ohpol #childcare (2/2)

[Ohio House Dems @OHHouseDems]

Our families need support to deal with rising costs, especially childcare. Instead of solving the problem, single party rule in Columbus has led to policies that make the issue worse. 🧵(1/2)

[Ohio House Dems @OHHouseDems]

We should be lowering costs, building housing, raising wages, & investing in schools, so families can stay and thrive here in Ohio.

[Ohio House Dems @OHHouseDems]

We need to turn the U-Haul’s around. 🚚📦

After decades of one party control at the state house, costs are rising while opportunities shrink. Housing, childcare, and basic expenses keep going up, but wages are not keeping pace. 🧵 (1/3)

[Ohio House Dems @OHHouseDems]

Now Ohio’s migration ranking has dropped from 14 ➡️ 43, one of the steepest declines in the country. That is a result of years of failed leadership that has not put working people first. (2/3)

[Ohio House Dems @OHHouseDems]

In addition, the bill re-affirms the rights of detainees to a reasonable wage for all labor a detainee renders, and reasonable access to communicate with family, friends, and the detainees legal representative.

Reps. Ashley Bryant Bailey (D-Cincinnati) and Veronica Sims (D-Akron) are sponsoring legislation establishing minimum standards for immigration detention facilities, including adequate meals, medical care, and weather-appropriate clothing. 🧵 (1/2)

It would also allow the Ohio Attorney General and Dept. of Public Safety have access to evidence and investigative materials needed to independently examine law enforcement misconduct.

#ohio #ohpol #legislation #minnesota (2/2)

[Ohio House Dems @OHHouseDems]

To ensure accountability, Reps. Mark Sigrist (D-Grove City) and Beryl Brown Piccolantonio (D-Gahanna) are advancing a resolution reaffirming local law enforcement can investigate crimes that occur in their jurisdiction. 🧵 (1/2)

[Ohio House Dems @OHHouseDems]

Reps. Ismail Mohamed & Eric Synenberg have introduced legislation restricting immigration enforcement actions in sensitive locations such as schools, hospitals, courthouses, places of worship, and organizations serving children, crime victims, & individuals with disabilities.
