My thoughts are with the Jewish community this week in the wake of the horrific attack in Bondi Beach this weekend. I want to make it clear that hate has no home here in Ohio.

Join us next Saturday, December 20th for our joint Worthington Town Hall! We’ll be discussing everything going on at the Statehouse and answering any questions you may have. #townhall #worthington #ohiopolitics

SB 293 and SB 56 are two bad bills on the Governor’s desk. Contact Gov. DeWine and tell him to veto these anti-democracy bills! #veto #ohiopolitics #legislature

Today, we remember the December 7, 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor, honor the more than 2,400 service members and civilians we lost on that “date which will live in infamy,” and recommit ourselves to caring for our veterans and their families.

SB 293 adds unnecessary hurdles to voting and especially absentee ballots, making it harder for seniors, students, and working families to make their voices heard. The right to vote is a cornerstone of our democracy, and this bill threatens that fundamental right. We must protect our democracy.

Today is the 70th anniversary of the founding of the AFL-CIO, which is the largest federation of unions in the world. The American Federation of Labor and the Congress of Industrial Organizations decided to merge together on this day in 1955 to make their collective power even stronger.

I’m so grateful to have completed another year of serving the people of District 8! I’m looking forward to another year of fighting for common sense and evidenced based policy at the Statehouse. #spotifywrapped #statehouse #ohiopolitics #funfactfriday

An MP in Zimbabwe has called for the repeal of the country's "backwards" 1977 abortion law. He argued that safe abortion should be available to a wider range of Zimbabwean women, as it is currently restricted to a privileged few. Each year, 60,000 women die due to unsafe abortion.

Happy Thanksgiving! For a holiday gift, I’m posting my #funfactfriday one day early. Hopefully these thanksgiving fun facts make for good dinner conversation today! #thanksgiving #holiday

Wednesday’s session was a manufactured lame duck as House Republicans tried to push through as many bad bills as possible in the middle of the night. There’s still time for us to fight back! Call your Senators and Gov. DeWine and let them know that this bills will hurt Ohioans.

The best part of being a legislator is meeting with students like the OSU Physical Therapy senior class. Rep. White and I learned about the different specialty areas within physical therapy.

Ensuring that everyone has the right to vote is the cornerstone of a functioning democracy. These dangerous bills will chip away at this fundamental right. Call your reps and tell them that if they believe in democracy, that they should vote no on these bills! #vote #democracy #votersuppression

Happy Veterans Day! I am grateful to all Ohioans who have served our state and nation. Thank you for your commitment to defending our rights and freedoms. #veteransday

Ohioans voted overwhelmingly to enshrine reproductive rights in our state constitution in 2023. Fighting to protect these rights is not only the constitutional thing to do, but it also the best thing to do to protect women’s health in Ohio.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 94th day out of the last 106. 12 days of work in 106 days. With full pay and benefits. The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown. It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

Friendly reminder: the folks taking food away from 42 million Americans are the same ones who illegally shutdown USAID and lit 1 million pounds of food on fire instead of feeding it to the world's hungriest people. Weaponizing hunger is deplorable. The GOP owns this.

Happy Election Day! Polls are open from 6:30am-7:30pm. Make sure you make a plan to get to the polls today. Our democracy only works if everyone participates! #vote #electionday #democracy

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 91st day out of the last 103. 12 days of work in 103 days. With full pay and benefits. The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown. It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

Thanks to the Affordable Care Act, Ohioans can get signed up for coverage through the healthcare marketplace. The Open Enrollment Period on HealthCare.gov runs from Nov. 1, 2025, to Jan. 15, 2026. It’s important to get covered, get started at healthcare.gov! #aca #healthcare

Happy Halloween! #nokings

Two federal judges who care said the Trump administration MUST fund SNAP through the duration of the federal government shutdown. They understand that SNAP is a lifeline for millions of Americans. It could take a week or two for recipients to receive their benefits.

Thank you to my wonderful colleagues at the American College of OB/GYNs for coming down to the Statehouse on Wednesday to advocate for their patients. ACOG is how I started my journey in state-level advocacy, so it’s always a special opportunity to get to speak with them!

This week the House voted on two pieces of property tax-related legislation. I voted no on both bills because instead of the state paying its fair share for schools and local governments, these bills force these entities to cut down their already stretched budgets.

When Tish James walks into a courthouse tomorrow — the target of a political prosecution demanded by a President obsessed with revenge — she does not walk in alone. New York has her back. Grateful to Governor Hochul for bringing us together tonight.

Come join us at the Marysville Public Library next Wednesday at 6pm! We’ll be updating you on everything going on at the Statehouse from redistricting to property taxes. #townhall #redistricting

Been wrong before but demolishing part of the White House while prices rise, the government is shut down, and health premiums are about to go through the roof? Might break through

Heads up: We will be calling for a National Economic Blackout on Black Friday (11/28). Please join us as we suspend all economic activity on the most important shopping day of the year. Spread the word about Black(out) Friday.

October is #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth, so as an OB/GYN, I wanted to share some facts about it. Did you know that scientists are developing breast cancer vaccines? Or that regular mammograms vastly increase your chance of survival?

We should be regulating intoxicating hemp products like we do other intoxicating substances, which means products need to be clearly marked so that consumers understand the ingredients in them. They also shouldn’t be available to those under the age of 21.

Happy Indigenous Peoples’ Day! I am proud to celebrate and honor the contributions, cultures, and communities of all Native American Ohioans. I will continue to ensure that everyone is welcomed and supported here in Ohio.

Every year on October 11, the global community comes together to celebrate International Day of the Girl. Today recognizes the commitment towards creating opportunities for girls to have their voices heard on the global stage.

On #WorldMentalHealthDay, I wanted to shed some light on the state of mental health in our state and our country. We need to invest more money into improving access to mental health care, especially in marginalized communities.

You’ve probably heard that the federal government is shut down. Trump is trying to blame Democrats for this, but the reality is, Republicans have refused to do their jobs. This #funfactfriday, I’m breaking down why this is happening, and what to expect in the coming weeks. #shutdown #aca #healthcare

Thank you to all those who came out to Sen. Liston’s and my town hall last night! I always enjoy being able to talk to constituents about the issues most important to them. #townhall #redistricting #statebudget

I was so grateful to receive the Honored Luminary award at the 2025 Infant Vitality Advocacy Day. Ohio can and should do more to address the infant and maternal mortality crisis in our state. I will continue to fight at the Statehouse for more funding to support our mothers and babies.

Today is the start of Yom Kippur, a day observed by many as a time for personal reflection and renewal. Wishing a peaceful day and meaningful fast to all those who celebrate!

Today, I had the opportunity to speak to the Columbus Urban League Young Professionals on their Statehouse advocacy day. It was so great to get to talk to young people who are interested in advocacy about how they have the power to make a change!

Pritzker: "In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists & protesters when unprovoked what would we call it? If officials marched down streets harassing civilians & demanding their papers, what would we say? I don't think we'd have trouble calling it what it is: authoritarianism"

In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists when unprovoked — what would we call it? If federal agents marched down streets demanding papers — what would we say? Authoritarianism — let’s not pretend it’s something else when it happens in our American cities.

Come down to the Statehouse next week and share your thoughts on fair maps! The Joint Committee on Redistricting has announced another public hearing Tuesday, September 30th at 9am in the House Finance Hearing Room (Room 313).

HB347 and HB324 are designed to hurt women because they are based on misinformation and propaganda. They also ignore the will of Ohioans who overwhelmingly support reproductive rights. #reprorights #abortion #prochoice

Rising property taxes are putting undue pressure on hard-working Ohioans. Unfortunately, for nearly 20 years, the Ohio GOP have cut taxes for the wealthiest while forcing working families to pay more. These policies are failing Ohioans.

Join us on Facebook Live tonight! We’ll be talking about public health. #publichealth #facebooklive

Wishing a Happy Rosh Hashanah to everyone who celebrates! I hope this new year brings happiness and blessings to all.
