Today It Begins
A friend on FB posted this to help us make sense of the 2018 midterm elections. Thanks.
The good. 
☑️ We flipped the House of Representatives.
☑️ Won 7 governor seats
☑️ Took super majority in 3 states & broke up a few R super majorities.
☑️ We flipped over 350 state rep/senate races.
☑️ 3 state Supreme Court seats flipped
☑️ 3 red states expanded Medicaid
☑️ 2 states raised the minimum wage
☑️ Won the popular vote by about 9% again
☑️ Restored the voting rights to 1.5 million Americans in Florida
☑️ Ethics reform passed in NM, MO, & ND, & FL
☑️ Money in politics reform passed in MO, Balt, NYC, Denver, Phx, & MA
☑️ Redistricting reform passed in MI, CO, MO, & UT
☑️ Voting rights passed in FL, MD, MI, & NV
☑️ Added Accountability to Trump's legislative agenda for the next two years. 
The Truth. 
☑️ In Ohio, especially in the Mahoning Valley, we need to start from scratch. I am pledging to do my part to bring new life to the party. I am pledging to stand up and fight for everyone. I am pledging to give a voice for those who cannot speak for themselves. I am pledging never accept mediocrity especially within my own party. Today it begins.
