Husted and Sam Randazzo

8 Upvotes

Not enough is being said in this campaign about John Husted's involvement in the $60M bribery scandal.

  • He was a key supporter of HB6, which gave FirstEnergy a billion dollars in exchange for the $60M.
  • He was a key supporter of Sam Randazzo's appointment as PUCO chair. The federal indictment of Randazzo says that he got $4M from First Energy in exchange for doing explicit favors as PUCO chair. He hanged himself before he could be brought to trial. (Hmm, Epstein "hanged himself" too)
  • Husted had meetings with Sam and with the two FirstEnergy execs that were also indicted (CEO Chuck Jones and Senior Vice President Michael Dowling) right before the introduction of HB6. Randazzo helped write the bill.

But he had no idea that anything illegal was going on. Either he is clueless or he is a liar.

One made themselves a billionaire by defrauding dementia patients and their families.

She’s in federal prison and he wants to be Ohio’s governor.

First ever policitcal donation in my life as a Ohioan

As a decent ohioan, I made my first ever political donation to the campaigns of Amy Acton and Sherrod Brown.

I DO NOT believe a billionair riding a private jet will care about the gas price and grocery price!

I DO NOT believe a man who voted against releasing the Epstein files will protect my children!

U.S. Sen. Jon Husted responded to the beating of a woman demanding the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files at President Donald Trump’s Youngstown rally by warning that people who interrupt political events face “consequences,” directing attention to the protester’s conduct rather than condemning the Trump supporters who punched her, pulled her hair and left her injured.

apartment searching

0 Upvotes

i’m moving to toledo ohio from florida and i’ve been apartment hunting for the past few months now but i’m still not sure if the ones i’m seeing are the best that’s out there, the pics and videos all look good AND the prices are amazing but it’s the mixed reviews that get me.. i wanna be in a safe area, i’m looking for a studio ($900 MAX!), onsite laundry and it would be nice to find somewhere with all utilities included but if rent isn’t pricey idc. i’m superrrr nervous about the move and i hate that i’m not over there yet to tour in person. i won’t actually be in ohio until a month before i plan on being in an apartment bc i’ll be staying with a family member until i find one. i also don’t know how it’ll work with proof of income and stuff.. i have great credit , no evictions, and i have good income but i wouldn’t have a job over there yet. i might have to extend my stay with my family just to be able to get a job offer at least but this is all new to me i’ve never rented and scared it’ll be hard to get a decent paying job in toledo. is it possible to get hired at a job before moving there yet..??

From Acton’s Instagram post:

“I sat down with educators and superintendents in Ashtabula for a discussion about how the lack of public school funding and billions being diverted to the voucher program is affecting our students’ ability to learn and thrive.

As governor, one of my top priorities will be ensuring every child has access to a great public education and the opportunity to reach their full potential, no matter their ZIP code or their family’s income. Every child in Ohio deserves the opportunity to succeed.”

Strategic voting is good, actually, and Democrats should practice it. Elections matter and we should maximize our goals

1 Upvotes

I saw a recent Facebook post from a prominent Ohio Democratic activist calling on Greg Levy to drop out because he’ll get Husted elected. The problem is that Ohio Democrats are running doomed candidates in Republican districts where centrist Independents could actually win. The hypocrisy makes me more hostile to Democrats. Why does lesser-evil voting only count when it benefits them!?

I believe in strategic voting. I wish Democrats would drop out and support Independent Tracey Tackett against Jim Jordan and Independent Craig Swartz in deep-red House District 87. Instead, they’re helping keep Republicans in those seats. If an Independent is even slightly closer to your views than the Republican and is the most viable alternative, vote Independent! The same logic applies to Democrats and Republicans.

Elections matter. Two more years of Trump have made that abundantly clear. Whatever your anger with Democrats, you can’t seriously argue that a Democratic president would have started a war in Iran, been so supportive of Netanyahu, or been so blatantly corrupt.

Your vote should advance your goals based on likely outcomes. Maybe that's damage mitigation, maybe it's accelerationism. I’m a lifelong Independent. I’ll probably vote Libertarian for governor because 3% preserves their party status, and ballot access is a concrete outcome I support. (And Dems enjoy their rat****ing in the opposite direction).

I’ll probably vote for Brown despite hating his pro-tariff views, because the Libertarian can’t win, and I want a check on Trump in the Senate and to punish Republicans for Iran and their authoritarian tendencies. I’ll vote for Tackett against Jordan because she can win, the Democrat can’t, I dislike his slopulism, and Jordan is bad for our democracy.

Those are my goals and votes to advance them. Yours don’t have to prioritize electoral victory. But if a campaign is about sending a message rather than winning, candidates should say “I can’t win. I’m campaigning to promote my values, as is my right and responsibility to my supporters. But vote strategically, and vote for me only if you can’t support anyone else.” I’d love to hear Levy or Josh (running against Jordan) say that. And their message wouldn't be drowned out with "spoiler" charges either.

We should have more honest and clear-eyed elections , all I'm saying. I don't like spoilers, but people should vote how they want. And also Democrats shouldn't be total hypocrites (because my goal next year will be to punish them for it).

Do you see more signs in people's ads supporting Democratic candidates than you usually do?

11 Upvotes

I live in Westlake. Before Trump entered the picture, I generally saw more yard signs telling us to vote for Republican candidates. In 2012, more pro-Romney signs existed than pro-Obama signs. By 2020, 60% of signs in Westlake were pro-Democratic. The same was also true in 2024. This election, 80% of signs I see in Westlake are supporting Sherrod Brown or Amy Acton.

Are rural counties any different?
