Thank You to Mary Pritzker @GovPritzker for taking a stand to support @amyactonoh given the reprehensible political attack ad. I’m urging OH woman to make our voices known this is despicable campaign behavior & needs to STOP. @SJP @Sebelius @halleberry @taylorswift13 @49s

Older adults’ prescription #drugs often go unused, and end up tossed directly in the garbage, flushed down the drain or sitting around in the medicine chest. Better information and access to safe disposal options are needed. spr.ly/6011s7xLH

The foundation of Trump's campaign, that the economy is down and crime is up, is 100% false. The opposite is true. And add to that "drill, baby, drill"—only under Biden has the US become a net exporter of oil and gas. Under Trump we were still a net importer. Facts matter.
