While Vivek Ramaswamy is busy spewing garbage and lies, I'm focused on lowering costs and making life better for Ohioans. Watch our new ad now.
Huge crowd of over 300 people turn out in Brown County to support @amyactonoh . Lots of energy and excitement to elect her as Ohio’s next Governor. @OFTunion
This attitude that teachers are babysitters is part of what is driving good people out of and away from the profession. It’s an outrage that he is even an endorsed nominee for Gov. “I've Never Seen Something Like this Before": Ramaswamy's Latest Meltdown davidpepper.substack.com/p/i…
For over a year, @DrAmyActon has been meeting with Ohioans to hear and understand their issues. Her commitment to the people of Ohio is beyond compare! oft-aft.org/press/oft-poll-o…
This is what happens when politicians recklessly pass laws to advance their own anti-public education agenda. Longstanding local working relationships are destroyed. Educators and students suffer the harm. matternews.org/voices/the-wo…
Please read this story! Sen. Cirino’s comments would be comical if they were not so blatantly tone deaf! Was he not listening when over 1,000 people testified about the negative impacts of SB1? Or did he just not care?!
An out-of-state university is exploiting state Senate Bill 1 to lure Ohio students to its campus: cleveland.com/open/2025/07/t…
Take action today!
This budget is a disaster for children, families, and communities, with numerous bad faith attacks on public education, public libraries, educators, and unions.
Take action today and tell Governor DeWine to veto the worst parts of this bill.

OFT President @mcropper1 in The @limanews:
"The worst effects [of private school vouchers] would be felt in Ohio’s rural communities because rural districts are more dependent on state funding & don’t have the density to support competing school systems."

2.5 million Americans were once denied Social Security benefits. A new law changes that - cleveland.com. Thank you @AFTunion, other unions, and activists for your tireless efforts. And thank you @SenSherrodBrown! cleveland.com/news/2025/01/p…

Breaking news! Welcome SEIU. With SEIU back in the AFL-CIO, we’re stronger together. This is great news for our movement and for everyone who wants to form a union to make the goal of a better life and a better America a reality.
2M SEIU Members 🤝 13M AFL-CIO Members
SEIU just joined America’s biggest federation of labor unions, the @AFLCIO. Together, we’re taking on corporate union busters and changing the rules so every worker who wants a union can have one. Let’s do this!
Melissa Cropper retweeted
We’re thrilled to welcome the 2 million service and care workers of @SEIU into the AFL-CIO. This is a historic day for the labor movement and for workers all across the country. There is power in unity!
