Chop Wood, Carry OHIOOOOO! 🎈🎈🎈

WOOOOOOOHHHOOOO!

Hi, you phenomenal humans.

I just wanted to say a quick thank you. You’re incredible. Not only did we win in Ohio—we KILLED IT! We had a HUGE win on Issue 1 and—even though we weren’t focussed on it—a huge win on Issue 2, too! It’s an outcome that surpasses our wildest dreams. We also stuck it to Frank La Rose and boosted Sherrod Brown’s chances of holding his seat next year as well! SOOO GOOD!

Of course we also smashed it in Kentucky, Virginia, Pennsylvania, and many other places.

While the press will describe this victory as a sign that abortion rights are still a motivating factor in elections—and they are—there’s more to the story. And that “more” is you—the determined many who worked tirelessly to help us win these elections. You who wrote postcards, knocked doors, gave money, wrote Vote Forward letters, phonebanked, textbanked, and did the critical work of talking to voters about the stakes in these elections. THAT is the secret sauce that made the difference.

Make no mistake. This wild, thrilling victory would *not* have come about without the work that YOU did.

So thank you a million times. We’re going to take a little rest on this list, but if you stay subscribed I’ll be back for the next OH election and hope you’ll join me in winning even bigger next time.

One more small thing: several of you have pledged to pay for this Ohio newsletter if I turn on the paid feature. I’m not going to do that because it’s so irregular, but I did want to offer an alternative: I have a Patreon, and signing up as a monthly Patron at any level is a great way to help me keep the lights on on ALL of these newsletters (I have 12 state-level newsletters now!) and my activism work in general.

Either way thank you for who you are and the patriotism you show every day. I hope to see you over on the main list! And again, I am SO PROUD OF YOU!!!
