We need to fill you in on everything that happened this week, so let’s jump right in.
VOTERS ARE VOTING
It’s official, y’all! Early voting has begun and voters are at the polls and in the ballot box voting YES on Issue 1. We urge you to make a plan to vote early.

Volunteer With Us!
Ohio Democrats and our volunteers across the state have been working hard to get the word out about voting YES on Issue 1 by November 7.
We hope you can join us for a shift to get out the word about the upcoming election and make sure everyone has a plan to vote YES on Issue 1 by November 7th. You can sign up for a canvassing shift using our canvass calendar below.
Can’t join us on the doors? Sign up to make some calls! Ohio Democrats have pledged to make one million phone calls to voters about the November election. View our phonebank calendar and pick a few times to get on the dialer!
Senate Slugfest Showdown
The first Ohio Senate primary debate is TOMORROW. Bernie Moreno, Frank LaRose, and Matt Dolan will meet behind closed doors at a country club for their first field-wide primary debate.
The three Republican candidates can’t seem to stop picking on each other when they’re not together, so we can only imagine what it will be like with them in the same room.

I think that Millionaire Moreno and Loser LaRose will spar on everything from Trump’s endorsement to their radical views on abortion…and Millionaire Matt Dolan will also be there.Â
Events Corner
Ohio Democrats have some exciting events coming up. Keep reading below to see if any of them are happening in your area.
