Typically, the money I receive is spent on winning my election, sometimes I invest in others who will work for people in Ohio. In this case, I believed the money would best be spent supporting and protecting vulnerable youth. 4/4

People give hard earned money to my campaign because they believe that I will use the money to represent their values β to make decisions that can improve their lives and our state. I believe this is a sacred trust and I take it seriously. 3/4
Although I hadnβt met with Wexner, I wasnβt shocked to get the check. I was running to be his State Senator and represent New Albany. Sometimes when an election outcome is clear, wealthy people in the area send donations. 2/4
In Oct 2024 I recβd a $1000 unsolicited donation from Les Wexner. This past Dec, I donated those funds to a local org meeting the needs of youth impacted by/at risk for human trafficking. Receipts available:Β ohiosos.gov/campaign-finanβ¦ 1/4

Senator @bethliston.bsky.social, a physician, asks the witness if he believes that doctor aren't capable of having these discussions with patients. She also reminds him that the Ohio Department of Health records complication rates, and that his answer blaming Biden is incorrect.
Senator Liston Votes Against Republican State Budget. Quote: βWhat else could we have done with $600 million? So many things. It would have only taken a small fraction of that money, roughly $40 million, to make sure infants and toddlers 0 to 3 kept Medicaid coverage. An estimated 20,000 babies a year would not be dropped from their health insurance for 7% of the money weβre giving for an upgraded sports stadium owned by billionaires.β
This budget takes your hard earned money and hands it to billionaires. I voted no.
The Senate Republicans' version of the state budget fails Ohioans. I voted no, hereβs why: www.ohiosenate.gov/members/beth...
Happy Pride Month from the Ohio Senate Democrats
Happy Pride Month from the Senate Dems! There are Pride events happening all month long throughout Central Ohio, support your local LGBTQ+ organizations by checking out their events
βListon is also fighting to.. allow children under age 3 to stay continuously enrolled in Medicaid without having to reverify their eligibility. She estimated that nearly 20,000 infants and toddlers could lose coverage if that rule is eliminatedβ www.cleveland.com/news/2025/05...
Iβm excited to announce bipartisan legislation to help lower drug costs and protect Ohioans from harmful insurance practices.
National Champions honored in the Senate this week! Go Bucks! β€οΈπ
Firing world experts and destroying millions in equipment as infectious outbreaks grow - Efficiency?! This is what happens when a quack w/no science knowledge is in charge of our HHS. Disease spreads. People die. We go backwards.

Ohio farmers are so important in providing healthy food for all. Last week I competed in the OH Dept of Agβs Supermarket Showdown to highlight Ohio-made products β and we raised almost $6,000 for the Plain City Food Pantry! (No surprise that Brutus Buckeye won for most food collected!)
Which is a better investment, the education and future of Ohioβs children or subsidizing billionaires to build a sports stadium? I know my answer. #publiceducation
I am fighting to make sure Ohioans can get the medications they need.
Indivisible Central Ohio Congressional Town Hall
Empty seats with the names Senator Bernie Moreno and Senator Jon Husted taped on them.
Thank you to everyone who showed up for the @indivcentraloh.bsky.social town hall. We will keep fighting for healthcare, education, seniors, veterans and kids - people in Ohio who are being hurt by leaders who wonβt stand up for them.
This transportation budget invests $11.5 billion into Ohio's roads, bridges, airports, and railways, creating a safer and more connected state for all.

Today people marched for science. I am overwhelmed by a sense of deja vu - my message remains the same. Science saves lives.

We must end this harmful practice and work to protect our communitiesβ most vulnerable. Senate Bill 71 will do just that.

SB 67 ensures that the hard-earned money of low-income families stays with the children who need it the most. Today, I spoke in support of my bipartisan bill in front of the Senate Government Oversight Committee. Read more here: www.legislature.ohio.gov/legislation/...
On Tuesday, we celebrated Toni Morrison Day at the statehouse. Morrison was born and raised in Ohio and was the first Black woman to receive the Nobel Prize in Literature. Her legacy reminds us that the βdanger of losing our humanity must be met with more humanity.β
Thanks
