This year's midterm elections offer an unprecedented opportunity for Ohio voters to make history by launching the first Democratic African American woman into the state's Executive Branch. Ohio State Senator Nina Turner, the Democratic nominee for Ohio Secretary of State, is running neck and neck in the polls against Republican incumbent John Husted, despite the GOP dominated State Legislature's efforts to roll back history by imposing a host of voter restrictions intended to create barriers and disrupt the ease of voting access for wide segments of the population.. . .
As State Senator, Turner has focused on expanding educational opportunities, women's health issues, and a fairer tax code. As a candidate for secretary of state, her steadfast commitment is to create business opportunities and avenues for advancement for Ohioans at the ballot box and in life. . . .

In support of Turner, former President Bill Clinton says:"Elections matter, and that's why it matters to all of us who administers our elections. With Nina as Secretary of State, we can count on her to expand and protect the franchise and restore integrity and fairness to the electoral process in Ohio."
Here's how you can help. If you know someone who lives in Ohio, call them and tell them to vote for Nina Turner as Secretary of State on November 4th or before Election Day during early voting in-person or by mail. Together we can carve a clear path for victory for a candidate who will move Ohio forward to fulfill its potential for all citizens rather than rewind it to a past that served a privileged few.


GOTV, GOTV, GOTV!
