There’s a lot at stake this November. The Ohio GOP, spurred on by out-of-state billionaires and special interests, already have a super-restrictive six-week abortion ban — with no exceptions for rape or incest — on the books, and they’re already talking about outlawing all abortions and even contraception. They think government — not a woman and her doctor — should decide what you’re allowed to do with your body. It’s time for those of us who still believe in American freedoms to stand up for our rights.

We also have lots of great local candidates running to return sanity to our local government. Republicans want to pack our school boards, city councils, and township boards with more far-right extremists. We deserve common-sense Democratic candidates who will put the people first — not a far-right ideological agenda.

Early voting is available for the November 2023 special election from October 11 – November 5. Lock in your vote early so you don’t have to worry about it later on. Any registered Warren County voter can vote early at the Board of Elections, regardless of your polling place on Election Day.

Remember that you need a current photo ID to cast a ballot in-person at early voting or on Election Day.
