Ohio Open Letters
From a constituent in Solon, OHDo you support the tariffs that Trump enacted? Are you ok with stocks tumbling? With jobs being lost? With our allies being treated like enemies? With your constituents fearing they won’t be able to afford things (oh but they voted for the Republicans because of the price of eggs)? What will it take
From a verified voter in Dayton, OHPrioritize Funding for Ohio Public Schools Over Private Projects
The proposed budget by Ohio House Republicans that significantly cuts public school funding is deeply concerning and threatens the future of education in our state. Slashing over $400 million from what is needed to fully fund schools based on the Fair School Funding Plan will have devastating conseq
From a verified voter in Dayton, OHThe Smithsonian Institution plays a vital role in preserving and sharing our nation's history, cultural heritage, and scientific knowledge. President Trump's executive order to censor and manipulate the historical narratives presented by the Smithsonian is an alarming affront to academic freedom, hi
From a verified voter in Cincinnati, OHPreserve funding for public libraries and community enrichment.
Protecting the funding for our public libraries is crucial for ensuring access to educational resources and enrichment opportunities for all members of our community. The proposed budget cuts would severely undermine the ability of the Cincinnati & Hamilton County Public Library to provide essential
From a verified voter in Columbus, OHSupport Ohioans, stop the tariffs
These tariffs will have severe economic consequences for American families and businesses. Raising prices on imported goods will drive up costs for consumers and disrupt global supply chains, likely prompting retaliatory actions from trading partners. This protectionist approach risks sparking a tra
From a constituent in Reynoldsburg, OHThe US is barreling toward a recession for no good reason, and dragging the world—and a few thousand penguins on remote Antarctic islands—down with it. What power does Congress have to reign in this recklessness? Protect the American people!
From a constituent in Portsmouth, OHVote no on the Save act and voter suppression.
The Save Act is voter suppression at its finest and will effectively cripple the female vote by requiring voters to provide two forms of ID with one proving citizenship and both having matching last names. Many people will have to use passports that are extremely expensive and will also disenfranchi
From a constituent in Cincinnati, OHMaintain funding for Ohio libraries, pillars of democracy
Libraries play a vital role in providing access to knowledge, resources, and educational opportunities for all citizens, regardless of socioeconomic status.

From a verified voter in Cuyahoga Falls, OHProtect and fully fund our libraries!

I urge you to oppose any cuts to public library funding, as these institutions are essential to education, personal growth, and the ove
From a verified voter in Brunswick, OHReject the substitute House budget
I need you to make sure you vote against the substitute House Budget. The school funding measures are inadequate. Restore the PLF! I do not want the library to depend on the whims of the legislature. The attempted restrictions on library collections are an archaic attack on the First Amendment. Fur
From a verified voter in Clyde, OHOppose the proposed Ohio budget proposal!
I am writing to express my strong opposition to the proposed 2025 Ohio state budget, which includes harmful cuts to public libraries and discriminatory measures targeting LGBTQ+ books and identities. Public libraries serve as essential community resources, providing education, access to informatio
From a constituent in Concord Township, OHHelp DC by voting YES on S. 1077
Please vote YES on S.1077, the 2025 District of Columbia Local Funds Act. This bill simply allows the DC mayor to spend local tax revenue that has already been collected—it does not use federal tax dollars. If Congress fails to approve this, the DC Council and mayor will be forced to make devastati
From a constituent in Reynoldsburg, OHThere are situations in which tariffs are a useful tool to address a trade deficit, or to protect key sectors of a country’s economy. Then there are situations where you accuse a bunch of penguins on an uninhabited island of currency manipulation. Guess which one we’re living in? This is the takeaw
From a verified voter in Columbus, OHRepeal Trump's tariffs
I urge you in the strongest possible terms to vote with Democrats to overturn these ridiculous tariffs on our trading partner countries. They will do nothing but hurt already struggling Americans. You work for the American people and Congress is one of the checks on the Presidency. We urgently ne
From a constituent in Mason, OHPut partisanship aside and protect our economy!
Yesterday, President Trump imposed tariffs on nearly every country in the world. He seems to be driven by his inaccurate idea that these countries have taken advantage of the United States, and is enamored by the thought that these tariffs will generate large revenues for the country. But the realit
From a constituent in Reynoldsburg, OHUniversal tariffs ranging from 10-50% run the risk of causing major harm to American manufacturers, workers, families and exporters. Damage to the US economy will increase the longer the tariffs are in place and may be exacerbated by retaliatory measures. More tariffs equal more anxiety and uncert
From a verified voter in Dayton, OHReject SAVE Act, protect voting rights for all citizens
The SAVE Act poses a serious threat to the voting rights of millions of Americans, especially married women and other groups who may face challenges obtaining documentation that matches their current legal name. This unnecessary legislation is built on false premises about non-citizen voting and wou
From a constituent in Youngstown, OHHalt unconstitutional overreach, restore democratic norms
This administration's consolidation of power and disregard for democratic norms is fueling an increasingly-angry nation. While leaders like FDR rebuilt America during crises, this presidency punishes critics, violates rights, and reverses progress to cater to the elite's whims. Congress must urgentl
From a constituent in Massillon, OHRevoke Trump's Declaration of National Emergency
You have have taken an oath to the constitution and are now ignoring it. You've allowed the president to run rough shod over it and consolidate power into the executive branch that is not constitutional. Currently you have the power to stop his executive over reach by rescinding his Declaration Of
From a constituent in Cincinnati, OHDo Not Cut Library Funding
Do NOT cut funding for public libraries in Ohio. About 50% of funding for the Cincinnati Hamilton County Public Library system comes from that fund. We have some of the best libraries in the world. Defunding them will NOT make Ohio great again.
From a verified voter in Cincinnati, OHPlease do not cut our libraries!
Please do not cut our libraries! Libraries provide not only free education but critical services to citizens, especially those who are elderly and/or low income. I was a library kid and I still actively use the library. I'd be lost without their services and we must fight to keep them.

From a verified voter in Cincinnati, OHReject harmful cuts to Ohio libraries' funding, operations
This budget proposal represents a damaging attack on public libraries in Ohio. Slashing over $100 million in funding and changing the funding model would devastate library services, particularly in rural areas that rely heavily on the Public Library Fund. Libraries are vital community hubs that prom
From a verified voter in Columbus, OHLibraries
Our public library in Columbus is considered one of the best in the country. Do not defund or censor public libraries. The current GOP budget bill is punch in the throat of libraries. It’s a budget bill that oversteps its role in funding state services and institutions by leaning into right-wing, u
