You may have noticed that The Ohio Scoop took a little break last week. That’s because we were busy preparing for our second annual Family Reunion! Thank you to those of you who came out for the day. We hope you had as much fun as we did.
If you did attend the Family Reunion, please take a moment to fill out this Google Form with your feedback on the event. We hope you will all join us next year for an even bigger and better day!
Takin’ Care of Business
We are 18 days away from the August 8th election when Ohioans will send a clear message to the GOP: We Won’t Go Back.
Ohio Democrats and our volunteers across the state are still working around the clock to secure reproductive rights and protect constitutional rights. Our volunteer base has knocked over 100,000 doors and made over 300,000 calls!
Ohioans have already begun early voting, but we still need to make sure folks make a plan and vote NO on or before August 8th.
Want to get in on the fun? Join us for a canvass or a phone bank!
Stay in the Loop
To say there’s a lot going on right now would be an understatement. Between the special election, reproductive rights ballot, and summer activities, Ohio Democrats have been juggling quite a few things!
To keep everyone up to date on what we’re doing, we will be hosting weekly briefings on the special election. Join Chairwoman Liz Walters for real-time updates over Zoom.

Frank LaRose Messy Hour
On Monday, Fraudulent Frank LaRose followed through on what he has been teasing for months when he officially entered the GOP Senate Primary.
LaRose joins millionaires Matt Dolan and Bernie Moreno in what might be the messiest GOP primary…since last year.
His announcement comes in the midst of and his inability to run the sham August 8th primary election correctly (which is kind of his whole job as Secretary of State)…
and his relentless campaigning around the state in favor of Issue 1. LaRose has thrown his support behind Issue 1 arguing that it is what is best for Ohioans, despite admitting that it is “100%” about abortion in a room of close GOP allies.
Honestly, I don’t know when LaRose will find the time to run for senate. He’s so busy with all of his favorite pastimes: failing to do his job correctly, wasting taxpayer dollars, and towing the line on ethics! Those are definitely qualities Ohioans want in their Senator. NOT!
