This week Rep. Abdullahi and I testified on HB 489, to repeal Ohio’s anti-boycott law that chills free speech on campuses and beyond. No one should be forced to take a political stance to work with the state.

Honored to receive @CAIROhio Champion of Justice Award with Rep. Abdullahi. Civil Rights leader Fannie Lou Hamer said it best: “Ain’t nobody free until everybody’s free.” Justice means standing up for everyone, & against genocide and oppression everywhere. #freepalesti̇ne 🇵🇸

NEW: Illinois Gov. Pritzker announced President Trump intends to federalize 300 state National Guard troops “in the coming hours" over objections from state and city leaders.
We resolutely condemn this potential escalation. It's a power grab meant to intimidate and torment Chicago's communities.

I’m trying to repeal Ohio’s Israel Boycott ban. We shouldn’t have to swear alliance to any foreign nation to do business with the state.

Everyone deserves healthcare, everyone! We can’t fall for inhumane lies that deny care based on immigration, work status, or income. We have the resources, no one should be excluded. Healthcare is a human right. Refuse to let them strip people of their humanity.

Extortion is his MO. Trump’s $100,000 fee on every H-1B visa isn’t about fairness or jobs… it’s a shakedown. It tells the world’s best and brightest: pay up or stay out. That’s how you weaken America, not strengthen it.

Alongside Rep. Sean Brennan, I introduced legislation to finally ban radioactive oil and gas brine from being spread on Ohio roads. These so-called “de-icers” are loaded with radium and heavy metals, putting our health, our waterways, and our communities at risk.

Sales taxes are regressive, so I’m happy we can get a little break from these taxes, even just briefly — makes life a little more affordable.

Just introduced a bill to ban fracking under Lake Erie & state parks. Our water & lands aren’t a cash register for oil & gas. Making Ohio more reliant on dirty fossil fuel money is not the way forward. Public lands = public good, not private profit.

Dem lawmakers want drilling banned under Ohio state lands, Lake Erie
Two Democrats want to change Ohio law and ban any drilling for oil and gas, although the bill is unlikely to secure backing from the majority caucus.
