Ohio Republicans want a state database of every fetus and every woman who gets an abortion or miscarries. In other words, government tracking of women's pregnancies, a policy Trump said he'd support in 2024.
Imagine if you couldn't replace the battery in your watch or garage door opener without a special screwdriver you can't even buy. That's becoming the reality for so many products we use every single day, but it doesn't have to be. #righttorepair
Most ppl remain ignorant of this important bit of history.
The War on Drugs didn't happen because drugs were "bad". It happened because the government wanted to shut down the political and social power of minorities that threatened the status quo.
Repackaged animus as policy - a Repub specialty.
It's 4/20! Let me remind you why marijuana was criminalized to begin with: "We knew we couldn't make it illegal to be either against the war or blacks, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders, raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did.” - John Erlichman, senior advisor to Nixon
Happy 4/20 to those who celebrate!
Everyone who still remained at the end of our campaign party
Thank you Ann and Chris for hosting our first house party of the cycle! It was great seeing so many new faces and knowing we all agree Congress can and must do better.
Open House, Sunday April 19 at 476 Bellfrey Drive in Westerville.
Let's talk! I'll be in Westerville tomorrow from 5:30-7:30. Stop by for a quick hello or come hangout with us for the whole event.
Your #grassroots candidates everywhere need your donations. @jerradchristian.bsky.social is the #Democrat for #OH12. It's worth $5 or $10 bucks to flip that seat. #Resist #BlueCrew #BlueWave

We need an immediate moratorium on data centers in Ohio and across the country, and American workers shouldn't have their bills increase to pay for these harmful, under-studied sores on their communities.
And for what it's worth, we do not use AI on this campaign.
You can catch me at Kenyon College tonight! Come learn about mutual aid, decentralized tech, and self-sustainable agriculture.
Guess we all better give up then. Cynicism ftw! /s
Good people! We are full tilt now for Single Payer Universal Healthcare! We are full throttle coast-to-coast. @jerradchristian.bsky.social is running for the US House of Reps in Ohio's 12th district. He just publicly committed to the Patients Over Profits Pledge. HR 3609 is next. All oars in now.
This might come as a shock, but there are candidates who have no interest in becoming wealthy. I know because I'm one of them. All I want is a nation that uses its wealth to provide better for all of us.
I'm running for Congress, and I promise to reject campaign contributions from executives, lobbyists, and PACs affiliated with the corporate, for-profit health care industry. No company or CEO should get to decide who deserves treatment or where they can get it. @nationalnurses.bsky.social
I'd be thrilled to debate Rep. Balderson, but he won't show up. He's afraid of his voters hearing me, and he can't answer for everything he's done since he entered Congress, all to scratch the backs of his billionaire donors.
Showing off my I Voted sticker
I early voted! Get out and vote Jerrad Christian in the Democratic primary, on or before May 5th 🇺🇸 #OH12 #PeopleFirst
Thank you, and thank you for coming!
So great to meet @jerradchristian.bsky.social tonight in Buckeye Lake! He’s the candidate we need in Ohio’s 12th Congressional District!! Vote for him May 5th & again Nov 3rd!

I am proud to run next to these amazing people, and I look forward to a better Ohio and a better nation after our victory in November.
Thank you @amyactonoh.bsky.social and @davidpepperoh.bsky.social for spending real time in a region that many before you ignored.
We need the un-redacted Epstein files and justice for the victims, but this isn't just a billionaire cabal.
There are kids being molested right now, as you're reading this. From a family member. A neighbor. A pastor. It's happening. We need to talk about that, too.
Had a lot of fun today on LEAD Ohio's Campaign Survival Panel with State Rep. Meredith Lawson-Rowe and Spencer Derrig. Let's do it again some time!
It was great to see Jerrad. He's been in Fairfield County a lot spreading his message and talking with people. I've really enjoyed the times I've gotten to share some events with him like yesterday's Chocolate Walk.
HA!
Photos of Jerrad with voters on the sidewalks of Lancaster, OH
Thank you to the Fairfield County Democratic Party for letting me know about the Lancaster Chocolate Walk! It's safe to say everyone I talked to today wants to get billionaires' lapdogs out of Congress this year.
Meet and Greet with Dr. Amy Acton at the Tecumseh Theater, Sunday at 1pm
Got plans this weekend? You do now! I'll be at the Tecumseh Theater on Sunday with @amyactonoh.bsky.social, and I want to meet you there. Everyone's welcome and it's free to attend.
I've spoken in a lot of rooms with a lot of different people. Democrats AND Republicans. I haven't met a single person who thinks our bombs should be dropped on kids. In Gaza, Iran, or anywhere else. #EndGenocide
No sign of Balderson. Not that we'd expect any different. But such a great day to meet folks who are ready for a Rep who listens!
For those who couldn't make it and the amazing people supporting me from outside the district, here's a clip from the protest at Troy Balderson's office today.
TL;DR - Stop bombing kids. Stop voting to harm Americans. Start giving a shit, or get out of office. Full video on my other socials.
I just got back from protesting outside of Troy Balderson's office. Of course he didn't show since he knew we were coming. To the organizers of today’s event and everyone who showed up, you deserve a huge thank you. Let's keep this energy going and FLIP THE 12TH!
Thank you for coming!
