We crowdfund for underfunded #Ohio Democratic Statehouse nominees — lifting up those who have the least. Run for office. We've got your back. BlueOhio.org Blue Ohio is a project of Every State Blue

Over two hours, these four women – dubbed the "Southern Ohio Supremes" by Lisa Parker of the Jackson County Democratic Party (aka Mamaw), talked about their campaigns and answered questions from voters. As one photo caption said, they "stayed for hours to ensure that all voices were heard."

We think our Blue Ohio supported nominees are pretty darn special. We're not alone! Over two dozen other organizations and groups have endorsed these amazing folks – like Run for Something, the DLCC, OH Working Families Party, OH Fed of Teachers, Matriots, Planned Parenthood of Ohio, and more. 💙

We're forever talking about how amazing our Blue Ohio-supported nominees are. And we're not the only ones who think so! We've been wanting to share a list of endorsing org and groups...but every time we get ready to post, we learn about another endorsement!💙 Honestly, it's a good problem to have.

That's right! A full 1/3 of Ohio's Democratic nominees for state leg have already gotten *direct* funding from our grassroots community. Why does that matter? Because we fund those with the least first – typically folks who are running in the reddest parts of the state.

We couldn't agree more. Campaigns are expensive, and that's meant that folks with either a lot of money or a lot of connections have the upper hand when it comes time to run for office. That's one of the reasons we're so revolutionary. We crowdfund for the nominees that have the least.

Friends, what a great opportunity to meet not one, not two, not three, but FOUR amazing Blue Ohio-supported nominees! Amy Wright, Sarah Senff, Jessica Harper, and Wenda Sheard will be speaking at a Meet the Candidates event on July 27 (Mon) from 5-7pm at the Think for Yourself Clubhouse in Jackson!

“I am in Birmingham because injustice is here…..Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly.” - MLK, Letter from Birmingham Jail

Ahem. We've been saying this for a while, guys. And it's totally true. But you can't compete if you don't run! That's why we're here. That's why we crowdfund for folks running in some of the reddest places – because we *can* make progress and compete. But only if we try. 💙 We make that easier.

The frame and the choice before Ohioans could not be more clear. Inspiring, people-centered change VS. the same broken down disfunction, corruption, and self dealing that the Ohio GOP has been mired in for decades now. We think it's time for a very refreshing Dr./Pepper.

Pepper: I’ve spent years exposing the corruption of statehouses and how they’re destroying outcomes for everyday people. Vivek Ramaswamy selected the guy who leads one of the two institutions of that broken legislature—the Senate president.
