Request your ballot NOW! The midterm elections are coming on November 8. Your vote is crucial to helping Democrats get elected and moving our state and country forward!

Ohio can turn the tides this year if you turn out to vote! Ohio has a US Senate and a Governor’s race where candidates are within points of each other in the polls. It could go either way! We have three strong female candidates running for the Ohio Supreme Court and a chance at having incredible Democratic candidates all the way down the ballot elected into office. This election will change Ohio’s future on gerrymandering, women’s healthcare rights, climate change, education, and so many other issues that affect us no matter where we are in the world.

Here are some pretty cool things about voting and Democratic candidates in Ohio that you might not be aware of. 

1️⃣ Even though we live abroad, we still get a full Ohio ballot and can vote for all Democrats down the ballot! 

• We know from previous experience that person-to-person contact is the best way to get voters to request and vote their ballots! August 17th kicks off our next call campaign! Sign up to help us call other Democrats living abroad to make sure they don’t miss their chance to vote this November! 

Right now, only a third of our members have requested an absentee ballot. We can really make a big difference back home if we all turn out. 🎉 

2️⃣ We have TWO women on the ticket for governor and lieutenant governor, former Dayton Mayor, Nan Whaley and Cuyahoga County Council member Cheryl Stephens!

• Nan Whaley has already stated she will lead the efforts to enshrine abortion rights in the Ohio Constitution if elected.
• Want to meet Nan Whaley and even ask her questions? See our August 21st event below! 

3️⃣ THREE women are running for the Ohio Supreme Court!
