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)

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

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)

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)

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

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)

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)

Legislation from State Rep. Allison Russo would bar state entities from collecting, recording, or sharing an individual’s info or personal data, including citizenship/immigration status, unless otherwise required by law, strengthening privacy protections for Ohio residents.

Ohio’s need relief-not politicians making the affordability crisis worse. #ohio #housing #ohpol (3/3)

Ohio House Democrats are fighting for the opposite. Instead of subsidizing the richest people in the state, we should be building more housing and making sure families can actually afford to live in their own communities. (2/3)

Life is way too expensive because of failed policies by billionaires who are completely out of touch. That’s why President Trump said he thinks it would be good for housing prices to actually go up for the average buyer. 🧵 (1/3)

Immigration enforcement strategies that trample over basic rights are unconstitutional and unAmerican.

Ohioans deserve safety, dignity, and leaders focused on lowering costs and supporting families- not sowing fear and chaos for personal gain.

We cannot stand by and let the federal government trample on the rights of our citizens.
