We’ve been launched!! A huge HUGE thank you to every single person who came to my campaign launch!! More than a 100 people showed up and I’m so grateful to all of yall!! Want to stay in the loop? Go check out the link in my bio or AcharyaForOhio.com #ohio #campaignlaunch #politics #acharyaforohio

Our campaign is about protecting free speech & dignity for EVERY hardworking Ohioan. That means access to healthcare, stopping reckless data centers - and yes even counter protests to our movement. But we won't back down because we deserve BETTER. #cincinnati #ohio #davidhogg #democrat

All they have is lies! I want to keep our money local by making sure our schools are fully funded by the State Government rather than crazy local taxes. It’s my opponent who keeps voting to send $600M to the Cleveland Browns #publicschools #local #money #cincinnati #clevelandbrowns

Our state legislature could hold data centers accountable, fully funding our schools to reduce local taxes and make healthcare more transparent. They’re just *choosing* not to. We deserve better #ohio #cincinnati #stateleg

My opponent has yet to condemn Vivek Ramaswamy’s horrific ad about child abuse. If folks claim to be pro-family and pro-child but refuse to stand up to this? What does that even mean? #ohio #cincinnati #politics #vivek #amyacton

It has been such a privilege over the past year to win the trust and support of organizations across Ohio and our incredible country. From unions to education advocacy, folks are agreeing that we need change here in Ohio - and a government for ALL working people. #ohio #electionday #cincinnati

It was a one sided forum since my opponent chose to not show up after rescheduling twice! We deserve transparency, regular town halls and access to the people who’s salaries our taxes pay for. 13 days yall! #ohio #townhalls #transparency #cincinnati #politics

Ohio’s school voucher program is basically taxpayer dollars going to private schools with no accountability. And that means the folks who need it the most can’t get it #vouchers #edchoice #publicschools #ohio

Gas tax relief is one tiny step. How about the state legislature also hold data centers accountable for our electricity bills? Or the health insurance companies that are bankrupting us? That is TOTALLY under their control #ohio #healthcare #corruption #gastax

People have lost trust in their elected leaders because everybody seems to be bought by corporate interests. It's why my campaign is refusing to take ANY corporate money - because if we want to clean house we have to do it the right way. #ohio #corporateinterests #healthcare #corruption

My parents immigrated to Ohio several decades ago with nothing but their American Dream. And yesterday, my dad voted for his daughter on the ballot for the Nov 3 election. America is better off bcz of the people that make this country great. Polls are open this entire week Ohio! #ohio #vote

Corporations aren’t giving a politician money just for fun! They have a reason and that’s partly why we have so much corruption in politics. We haven’t taken a dime of corporate $$ and we never will #ohio #campaignfinance #corporate #cincinnati

Gas tax relief right before an election feels like a political move rather than one meant to support all Ohioans. It’s a good step forward but they also could’ve done more while they were in session. We deserve better yall and we can start voting for it on Oct 6! #gastax #ohio #cincinnati

We already pay taxes to the state government for public services like libraries and schools!! Let’s make sure that money actually goes to where we need it so our local taxes go down #ohio #school #library #publicschools

Data centers are popping up without people knowing what is happening. It’s all because of NDAs and backroom deals that we have to stop. The state legislature can stop this right now #nda #datacenter #transparency #sunshinelaw

Your state legislature might not be able to control gas prices but they can do things about your electric bills, your property taxes and healthcare. We deserve better so vote Nov 3 #election #ohio #cincinnati #gasprices #datacenter

We need to make sure no election fraud happens but let’s also make sure hardworking Ohioans can always vote. Both can be true at the same time by extending early voting hours and introducing same day voter registration. #vote #ohio #cincinnati #electionday #voting

A bit different than my normal videos but I don’t take a single conversation or vote for granted. Every bit of support is so important to me especially in this final lead up to Election Day! #healthcare #ohio #publicschools #electionday #voting

I had the privilege of spending a lot of time in nyc for both undergrad and grad school. Every year on 9/11, the vibes of the city changed. Manhattan went somber and I made it a habit to go to the memorial to see the lights and honor all of the lives lost on that tragic day.

Today marks 25 years since Sept 11 because #neveragain must mean that always. Spending today remembering the heroes of that horrible day - those who ran into a burning building, those who took control of flight 93 to make sure more lives weren’t lost, and every other person. ❤️🤍💙

You deserve to know how much you’ll be paying for routine procedures and appointments. Health insurance companies already have that data - let’s make sure that they share it! #healthcare #healthinsurance #ohio #medical

Ohio is one of the most over-levied states in the country. But why? We already pay taxes to the State government to help fund things like our roads and schools - but our state legislature is wasting that money on other things. So we have to spend our time on raising money locally which sucks!!

people care about effort especially during a time when it feels like our politicians are bought out by big $$. Knocking on doors, making calls and more - all of that makes a difference. 70 days until election days and link in bio to get involved ;) #cincinnati #ohio #political #doorknocking

Ohio’s always had strong laws to make sure that dangerous criminals don’t just get to regain access to guns without the proper precautions. I’m pro second amendment through & through and protecting our access to guns has to happen this way. #gunviolence #ohio #cincinnati #dv

I’m not part of a union in my day job - but the work of unions has still been incredibly important to me having healthcare coverage, overtime, breaks, and more! That’s the power of the choice to unionize is a person wants to #unions #ohio #cincinnati #workingclass

About 1 in 10 men struggle with their mental health. Most never get the support that they need. One of my priorities in the State Legislature would be to support ALL people struggling with their mental health from veterans, young men and much more #mentalhealth #june #veteran #ohio #statelegislature

Audits have to be required for any and all things where taxpayer dollars are involved. If a private schools take is taking public funds, we have the right to know how that money is being spent #publicschools #vouchers #affordability #cincinnati #ohio

I support country fairs while my opponent wants to strip away their protections. There’s a way to do this transparently and responsibly (especially with our finances). But backroom dealing is definitely not the way to go about it. #ohio #fairgrounds #warrencounty #farms #cincinnati

The State Legislature is supposed help fund many of our needs from schools to EMS. But they keep pushing funding to data centers or football stadiums instead. That’s a CHOICE and we have to do better #ohio #propertytaxes #affordability #gas

We can think of no better way to spend our money than on those who have served our country and put their lives on the line. Here’s how I’d suooort our service members & veterans in the State House #cincinnati #affordability #veterans #memorialday

HB126 has already passed through the Ohio State House and would basically give data centers immunity. We have to stop these from destroying the beauty of Ohio - CALL your State Reps & Senators TODAY!! #cincinnati #datacenters #energy #affordability

Here are my big 5 policies: fully fund our schools, we can’t be recklessly building data centers, create healthcare transparency, end gerrymandering and end corruption. That’s it full stop yall. #cincinnati #datacenters #affordability #healthcare #ohio

With primary day tomorrow, let’s talk about levies. Ohio’s taxes keep going up because our state legislature is CHOOSING to send our funding to other places. That burden is taxing people out of their lives and it has to stop #ohio #cincinnati #affordability

Ohio’s state legislature controls billions of dollars in funding - how they spend it is a choice. We need to focus in on the every day things that EVERY Ohioan focuses on & needs #ohio #affordability #datacenters #stadium

This is exactly the kind of pro-family bill that I would love to support in the state house - giving every employee paid maternity leave! Now let’s put pressure on our current state legislature to get this bill passed #ohio #elections #corporate #workingfamily

I fully intend to keep working if I am lucky enough to be elected. Not only is it important for my future but also to keep me grounded in reality. We should legislate this requirement for ALL state legislators in Ohio #elections #ohio #primary #corporate #workingfamily

I LOVE citizen led initiatives because they are the most direct form of democracy. But when that’s the only way to pass most bipartisan (and useful!) legislation in a supermajority state legislature - we have to ask what we’re even paying our electeds for #elections #ohio #propertytaxes #datacenters

Our campaign finance laws are a MESS so here’s the breakdown. The summary is that Corporate PACs aren’t giving you money for the fun of it - they want something in return. And that dependency from our politicians is dangerous for us all. #cincinnati #ohio #healthcare #corporate #darkmoney
