OK. BlueSky ... I still can't upload my ICYMI Statehouse Edition weekly updates. To my viewers here, we will keep trying but you can get the updates on my Ohio Senate web page and on all my other social media like Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, Twitter, Threads and YouTube.

Zohran and Mamdani (formerly known as Concrete and Asphalt) Action Shot!

Dear @bsky.app why are my videos not loading any more? I post them every Saturday morning and this is the third week in a row they have not been able to post. I thought we were BFFs.

Update ... It didn't work.

So BlueSky has not been allowing me to upload the last two ICYMI Statehouse Editions. .... So, I am going to try something else. ... Stay tuned BSky pals.

Tonight I was able to talk to the Shaker Heights Democratic Club at their endorsement meeting. My Democratic opponent was a No-Show.

This aged well. Note the author.

Today, myself and several of my Ohio Senate and House Democratic colleagues were given the Friend of Public Education award by the Ohio Federation of Teachers. As a bonus, I got to hear from my pal Clara from the Ohio Students Association and Randi Weingarten, Prez of the American Fed. of Teachers.

Yesterday, I led a delegation of physicians, labor leaders, and community activists as we delivered 8,000 petition signatures to the University Hospital leadership asking that they not silence medical professionals who speak up for patient care. We were denied entry to the building.

Two dangerous things are happening in DC: 1. Trump is trying to discredit the 2026 midterms and 2. Congressional Republicans are trying to pass voter suppression legislation that could threaten the voting rights of 70 million married American women. We explain both in this week's ICYMI.

Trump's latest racist attack on the Obamas was despicable, but should surprise nobody. Reasonable Americans need to say that his views will not be tolerated. But we should recognize that it was intentional, meant to distract us from his unpopular and destructive policies. We discuss it all here.

It was great to see my friend Cara Jacob yesterday in Columbus. She is going to be a great addition to the Ohio Senate.

Big News from this past weekend. I have been endorsed for reelection to the Ohio State Senate by the Cuyahoga County Democratic Party. #SendKentBackToColumbus

Data Centers have exploded across Ohio because of a giant GOP tax cut being given to billion dollar corporations. As a result, our utility bills are higher and our electric grid is less stable. We discuss it and what me and my fellow Ohio Senate Democrats are doing about it in this week's ICYMI.

I have been officially endorsed by the Cuyahoga County Democratic Party for my 2026 Ohio State Senate reelection campaign. Thank you Democrats. #SendKentBackToColumbus

Ohio Statehouse Action Shot! Tuesday night. Doing the work.

As Trump's war on basic liberties continues in Minnesota, I remind us that he wanted to do this in his first term too. I also share the two groups of people who can stop what's going on. All in this week's ICYMI Statehouse Edition.

Great evening tonight at the Golden Tavern and I was very proud to be introduced by my friend, and Senate District 21 voter, Dr. Lauren Beene.

If you are tired of being inside due to the cold AND you want to help send me back to Columbus, I got just the thing for you. Thursday night come to our campaign kickoff fundraiser or you can contribute online through Kent Smith dot org. Thanks for everyone's support.

With all the insanity coming out of the White House, you may have missed a significant interview with Vivek Ramaswamy. The likely GOP nominee for Ohio Governor said Medicaid was a mistake. Really? Over 3 million Ohioans depend on Medicaid, so getting rid of it would be terrible. We explain it here.

Workers, Obamacare enrollees and Medicare beneficiaries are all contending with steeper-than-usual hikes in their health insurance premiums for 2026 – yet another stressor in the nation’s affordability crisis.

Attention Friends! In 2026, I am running for reelection to the Ohio State Senate. Please join our campaign. Share this video, contribute if you can, but also say good things about the work we do in the Capitol. Help send me back to Columbus. Together we can change Ohio.
