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.

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)

We cannot stand by and let the federal government trample on the rights of our citizens. Ohio House Democrats have unveiled legislation to protect Ohio communities, ensure accountability, & uphold fair, ethical treatment for everyone who calls our state home. 🧵 (1/2)

The Ohio House Democratic Caucus will hold a press conference Tuesday, February 3rd at 1:30 pm in the Senate Harding Press Briefing Room at the Statehouse to discuss a legislative package to protect communities and ensure accountability amid ICE activity.

📣 Know your rights when you use your voice. Peaceful protest and civic engagement are fundamental freedoms, and understanding what you can and cannot be required to do helps keep everyone safe. Stay informed, stay calm, & look out for one another. #minnesota #ohio

So many people are wondering what they can do in this moment, and feeling powerless to help. But there is so much that can be done by individuals to be a force for good in our communities and our country. 🧵 (1/3)

Ohio House Democrats Statement on ICE Activity in Minneapolis.

Senator Husted thinks Ohioans are trapped in poverty because they don’t work hard enough. He couldn’t be more wrong. (1/3)

House Democrats are still working for you! Here’s what we got up to this week ⬇️ January 12th, 2026 - January 16th, 2026 #newyear #ohpol #peoplefirst

Ohio Republicans undermine voters and block a citizen-led ballot effort. Democracy, apparently, only counts when it’s convenient.

We hear a lot about Washington, but the decisions that affect your everyday life are being made right here at the state & local level. ➡️Want to understand what’s shaping your community and where your voice matters most? 🔒Lock in on state issues & get to know your state rep!

Kicking off 2026 strong! Here’s what House Democrats accomplished in the first week of the year. 💙💪 January 5th, 2026 - January 9th, 2026 #newyear #legislature #ohpol

As the United States approaches 250 years, Ohio House Democrats are focused on what comes next: lowering costs, making life more affordable, & building a stronger future for all Ohioans. 🇺🇸💙 #america250ohio #ohio #peoplefirst

Our goals for 2026: lower costs, real relief, & stronger support for Ohio families. #ohio #relief #peoplefirst

Our promise for 2026: Staying laser focused on the issues that matter the most for most people. Healthcare, childcare, and housing that people can actually afford. Safe neighborhoods and good schools. (1/2) 🧵

Welcome to the final year of the 136th General Assembly! House Democrats remain committed to showing up, doing the work, & delivering for Ohioans. 💙 Let’s get to work. #ohleg #ohiohouse #ohpol #peoplefirst

2025 wasn’t easy-but House Dems delivered real wins for Ohioans. From passing by partisan legislation and fighting rising costs, to securing budget protections and showing up in communities across the state, we kept pushing for people we serve. And we’re just getting started. 💙

We can continue to work together on smart energy policy that delivers real savings for families & businesses, while also being responsible to future generations by investing in sustainable energy like wind and solar. Ohioans expect practical solutions-and this is one of them. #energy #utility

If helping Ohioans was our top priority, we’d be asking what $600 million could do for healthcare, childcare, and lowering everyday costs-not handing it to billionaires. That’s the conversation legislators should be having. #ohpol #peoplefirst

Ohioans need property tax relief & long term solutions to bring down their property tax burden, but it shouldn’t come at the cost of our public schools. If the state paid its fair share we could do both: lower property taxes & improve the school system. That has to be our goal.

The constitution applies to all of us, including federal law enforcement. Masked men yanking people off the street is not what law and order looks like. In a country of immigrants, our immigrant communities deserve better than the ICE activity in central Ohio this weekend.

SB 293 adds unnecessary hurdles to voting and especially absentee ballots, making it harder for seniors, students, & working families to make their voices heard. Ohioans deserve better. Contact Gov. DeWine & ask him to veto SB 293: ☎️(614) 466-3555 📧Governor.ohio.gov/contact #veto #ohpol #stobsb293

SB 56 undercuts the will of the voters and moves our state backward at a moment when the rest of the country is moving forward. Ohioans deserve a government that honors their vote- not one that rewrites it. #ohpol #ohio #cannabis

🚨BREAKING: House Democrats urge Gov. DeWine to veto anti-voter bill, Senate Bill 293. Contact Gov. DeWine and ask him to veto SB 293: ☎️(614) 466-3555 📧Governor.ohio.gov/contact (1/2)

➡️ Here's what House Dems were up to this week! December 1, 2025 - December 5, 2025

House Dems made the most of lame duck & fought for Ohioans - even with some seriously quacked-up bills on the floor this past Wednesday 🦆

The message is clear: SB 56 rolls back the will of Ohio voters and pushes our state in the wrong direction on adult use cannabis. The cost? Recriminalization, burdened craft beer industries, & more limited legal use for adults.

While Ohioans are focused on the issues that actually matter-jobs, healthcare, public safety-Republicans are using lame duck to jam through bills nobody asked for. It’s clear they’re out of touch with what our communities need. #lameduck

No one likes a lame duck. And yet, here we are again. When lawmakers rush bills, Ohioans pay the price. Stay informed & follow along in our stories tomorrow so you don’t miss what happens next. #lameduck

From rural communities to urban neighborhoods, SB 293 creates barriers that make it harder for people to participate in our democracy. SB 293 does NOT protect voting rights, it restricts them. Every Ohioan deserves a fair, accessible, & transparent voting system. 🗳️🇺🇸

In the richest country in the world it is ridiculous that a single person is going hungry because we are not funding SNAP benefits. 1.4M Ohioans are unnecessarily having to make difficult choices between medicine, utilities, & food. Ohioans need help now. #SNAP

People are losing healthcare. Families are losing SNAP. The stakes couldn’t be higher-and we refused to let Republicans silence Ohio voters. The map we negotiated wasn’t perfect, but it keeps us in the fight for people who need it most. #redistricting @ricksmithshow.bsky.social

Last night sent a clear message: Voters are fed up with high costs and broken promises from Republicans in power, and are ready to vote for a new direction. Democrats are laser focused on making life more affordable for more people, because that’s what our communities deserve.

Today is #electionday! 🇺🇸Voting is one of the most fundamental rights that we have. Make your voice heard and have a plan to vote today. Polls are open 6:30am-7:30pm. 🗳️

Today was a hard vote. Rs steamrolled Dems in Texas, Missouri, and North Carolina and we could not let that happen in Ohio. It’s not perfect. But this was the best possible deal for the people of Cincinnati, Toledo, Akron, & all over Ohio Full statement here: www.instagram.com/reel/DQeo1OL...

We have a simple question: how many people are we willing to let go hungry before we take action? 1.4M Ohioans are at risk of losing their SNAP benefits this Saturday. The time for the governor to act is now. #savesnap

More than 1.4M Ohioans, nearly half of them children, rely on SNAP to put food on the table. A federal shutdown threatens this vital lifeline. No family should go hungry because of political gridlock in Washington or budget shortfalls in Columbus. #shutdown #saveSNAP

It got loud. The Ohio Redistricting Commission met for less than an hour, and people let them know exactly how they felt. Ohioans are tired of being ignored. They deserve a fair map. #fairmapsoh #redistricting #fyp

Voters should pick their elected officials, not the other way around. Here’s how you can join the national fight of redistricting ⬆️ Leader @daniisaacsohn joined @siriusxm Mornings with Zerlina’s podcast to talk more about #redistricting this week. #ohioredistricting #fairmapsoh

Today is the deadline to register to #vote in the November 4th election. 🗳️🇺🇸 It’s not too late, go to voteohio.gov to check your #registration status or get registered! #ohio

Ohioans deserve a map that mirrors the will of the voters. Thank you Pati Saberty, the former state budget director, for coming out & making your voice heard! #ohioredistricting #fairmapsoh

What does a government shutdown mean? It doesn’t just affect Washington-it’s impacting Ohioans too ⬇️

Ohio Democrats & allies testified in front of the second, & final, Joint Committee on Congressional Redistricting. Ohio GOP has still failed to introduce their map. Where's the map? Ohioans deserve better. #ohioredistricting #fairmapsoh

We want to be clear about the map we have proposed. This is the most constitutionally compliant and fair map introduced in recent memory. There is one more district within a county than the current map and is more compact on every metric. (1/2)

‼️Make your voice heard! Together, we can end gerrymandering & have maps that represent ALL Ohioans . The Joint Redistricting Commission has scheduled its second hearing this upcoming Tuesday. Submit your testimony today. #OhioRedistricting #fairmapsoh #redistricting

Even after Governor DeWine’s line-item veto, this Republican budget continues to choose wealthy tax cuts & stadium subsidies over Ohio families. Ohio families will pay the price.
