Two of the top 5 U.S. cities with the highest #burglary rates are in #Ohio. Yet, Gov. #DeWine is sending troops to #D.C., which ranks 128th for burglary.
D.C. ranks 33rd in violent #crime and 38th in property crime... Three cities in Ohio have higher crime rates than D.C.
This isn't about crime.

Meet the #Teacher is special day. Most Middle School students DREAD returning to #school. This afternoon, over 90% of my #students showed up to reconnect with friends and adults. Hugs, laughter, and excitement flowed. I love my school and the #energy we're bringing. Here’s to year #28 in #education!
