Last night, something really cool happened across the state of Ohio.
Black progressives, newcomers to the political scene, absolutely dominated and out performed expectations.
1/4
In Cleveland, @BibbForCLE won the mayoral race, beating the sitting city council president.
In Lima, Ohio, @sharettaforlima became the city’s first Black mayor and its first woman mayor — in a city that Trump carried!
2/4
Cleveland Heights, a suburb of Cleveland, elected @kahlilseren to become their first mayor, beating his more moderate opponent.
In Dayton, Our Revolution and Working Families Party-backed candidate @turnersloss won her race to become city commissioner.
3/4
I want to congratulate each and every one of these candidates on their historic victories. They each ran outstanding campaigns and will serve their communities well.
From our cities, to suburbs, to rural towns, Black progressives are the future of Ohio Democratic politics.
4/4
