Republicans are still trying to ignore the will of Ohioans and make care harder to access. Ohio Democrats will keep holding anti choice politicians accountable and will elect leaders who always fight for a woman’s right to choose.

But Ohio Democrats fought back. We built a coalition of Democrats, Independents, and Republicans who agreed that people, not politicians, should make decisions about their own bodies. Ohio voters enshrined abortion rights in our state constitution.

53 years ago, Roe v. Wade recognized reproductive freedom as a constitutional right. Its overturning four years ago was a devastating blow to women in Ohio and across the country.

Time after time, Jon Husted has blocked every effort to address the crisis he helped create and stop health care costs from rising further for Ohio families.

Absolutely insane.

Vivek Ramaswamy is offering anything but direct help for Ohio families. How out of touch can you be?

Dem group plans $12M investment in rural areas, with an eye toward 2028 The investment comes as Democrats for years have struggled in rural swaths of the country.

Ohio GOP lawmakers move to ban telehealth, mail-order abortion pills • Ohio Capital Journal Despite Ohioans overwhelmingly protecting access to abortion, Republican lawmakers are moving to restrict the procedure by ending telehealth prescriptions and mail-order pills.

Once again. Ohioans voted on this. They want access to a safe abortion & reproductive healthcare.

But Republicans are trying to ignore the people and do what they want anyway.

'What happens is people don't get care.' Ohio has 24 counties without an OB-GYN, according to KFF • Ohio Capital Journal Ohio has 24 counties without an OB-GYN, according to KFF. The data they used was from 2021.

Ohio now has 28 counties without a single OB-GYN. That's unacceptable and dangerous. People need access to basic prenatal and reproductive care for their health and safe childbirth.

As @anitamd.bsky.social asked: What happens is people don’t get care?

Prices are up across your entire thanksgiving table and Jon Husted is a big reason why.

Higher food costs. Higher travel costs. More flight delays. Ohio families are paying more while Husted keeps siding with his donors and corporations.

Ohio health insurance to get much more costly without action to renew federal credits • Ohio Capital Journal The federal government shutdown has ended, but Ohioans are still looking down the barrel of significant increases in health care costs starting in 2026.

Healthcare costs in Ohio are set to skyrocket if Ohio Republicans let federal healthcare credits expire. Over half a million Ohioans will see premiums double while GOP leaders like Sen. Jon Husted do nothing but say "NO" to every solution we offer.

A MAGA Senator Promised Hope for a Dying Ohio Mill. Then Reality Set In.

GOP senators move to eliminate mail-in ballot grace period before 2026 Ohio Senate Bill 293 would require all mail-in ballots to arrive by Election Day, ending the state's four-day grace period.

Ohio Republicans don't want to count eligible ballots if it arrives after Election Day, even if postmarked prior to deadline. This will make it harder for seniors, rural voters, & service members to vote.

GOP strategy in a nutshell. If you can't win, rig the rules.

Ohioans' health insurance was expensive this year. It will cost even more in 2026 It's the fourth year in a row health insurance costs will rise in the U.S.

Health insurance costs in Ohio are set to spike up to 9% next year because Ohio Republicans are insisting on blocking ACA funding and sabotaging affordable care.

Inflation is up and wages are lagging behind. Republican political games are bankrupting Ohio families.
