Congratulations to Shenise Turner-Sloss and Darryl Fairchild for winning the Dayton city commission races. It's great that Daytonians have decided they're no longer going to be told who to vote for by a party only interested in maintaining power.

Looks like the Dayton region has a new congressional candidate. The district has been redrawn to include #Springfield. Think he can give US Rep. Mike Turner a run for his money? Baxter Stapleton youtu.be/x6oeSymMCOE

Here's our solution to the Ohio redistricting crisis: reconstructingdayton.org/2022/02/23/how…

I plan to vote NO on this resolution which I believe reduces transparency, requires us to violate the Open Meetings Act, confuses our legislative process, and opens us to unnecessary litigation. We have important work to accomplish - this resolution does not help. 4/4

Newest commissioners suggest changes would stifle their ability to address the concerns of city residents daytondailynews.com/local/proposed…

The Dayton City Commission is attempting to invalidate the will of the people by requiring at least 3 Commissioners to move legislation forward. They want to nullify the election of Turner-Sloss & Fairchild. Let them know this is unacceptable!

How do you require a majority of commissioners to support legislation before it's introduced in a public meeting, and not violate Ohio open meetings law? daytondailynews.com/local/proposed…

Anti-Gerrymandering rules clearly don't work. We need to be more creative in our approach to election reform and adopt proportional representation. You can't gerrymander when there are no districts. reconstructingdayton.org/2022/02/23/how…

I invite renters and property owners to attend a Community Conversation on Housing Saturday at the SE Metro library in Conf. Room A from 10am - 12pm. Help develop the framework for future legislation regarding a Housing Bill of Rights. Come be a part of the legislative process!

Montgomery Co. Voter Turnout: 2020: 72.69% 2018: 55.21% 2016: 70.3% 2014: 39.9% 2012: 70.4% 2010: 48.10% 2008: 72.0% A lot of people are upset about our political outcomes today. If you don't vote in the midterms and primaries, you don't have the right to be upset.

Montgomery Co. Primary Voter Turnout: 2021: 8.06% 2020: 19.37% 2019: 9.60% 2018: 19.07% 2017: 9.18% 2016: 41.84% 2015: 8.41% Odd years = local Even years = county/state/federal We vote as if Federal > State > Local. Is that really true?

Why do we allow our tax $ to fund D & R primaries? What a thieving sham we put up with like it’s normal, or how it’s always been!

One of the year’s big US senate races is an open seat in Ohio. The Republican primary likely will be won with less than 30% of votes. Marginally fairer than a lottery?

This week in the #PrimaryProblem: Now that 3 states have completed partisan primaries, already 12.6% of the next Congress has been effectively elected in “safe” seats. But only 0.8% of age-eligible American voters have participated in those elections 🧵 primaryproblem.uniteamerica.org

It's time we open up this process. act.represent.us/sign/3-reasons…
