3 years ago today, Mike DeWine signed House Bill 6.

Not only is the law at the center of a massive bribery scandal, it was just awful policy: it gutted renewable energy standards, gutted energy efficiency standards, and bailed out failing power plants. vox.com/energy-and-env…
So why did Gov. DeWine sign this disastrous bill? It could be because of this: daytondailynews.com/local/firstene…
But the bottom line is that DeWine’s administration is entangled in the largest public corruption case in the country and he owes Ohioans answers about why he prioritized his big energy company campaign donors over his constituents. cincinnati.com/story/news/202…

Two years ago today, we learned of the huge bribery scandal engulfing GOP politicians (including Mike DeWine), lobbyists, and a massive utility company – a scandal that led the FBI to refer to Ohio as “in a league of its own” when it comes to corruption. 🧵cincinnati.com/story/news/202…
In the two years since, Ohioans have learned just how intertwined Gov. DeWine’s administration is to the scandal.

Yet DeWine and his administration have refused to provide answers or documentation about their involvement. cleveland.com/open/2020/07/f…
They have refused to explain how and why warnings about Sam Randazzo, DeWine's appointee who FirstEnergy has admitted to bribing, were ignored. cleveland.com/news/2022/04/g…

Cheryl & I are honored to have the support of so many dedicated leaders and organizations.

Ohioans are ready for bold, new leadership that puts their interests first, not the interests of wealthy donors and lobbyists.

That’s the leadership @CherylForOhio and I are committed to.
Today, leaders across the state – from Cleveland City Councilwoman Stephanie Howse to Medina County Auditor Mike Kovack to elected officials in Hamilton County and others – announced their endorsement of the Whaley-Stephens ticket for Governor and Lieutenant Governor.
Importantly, with the addition of Cuyahoga County Councilmembers Meredith Turner, Scott Tuma, and Yvonne Conwell, @CherylForOhio & I have now been endorsed by all of the Democrats on the Cuyahoga County Council, which represents the county with the most Democratic primary voters.
