November 2018 - Clutch

This was sent out to members based on their state house district.  We have paired the State House, State Senate, and US Congressional races.  Please find your State House race first.  Use the link in the first paragraph if you need to know what district you are in.

Please check on your voter registration to ensure it is up to date and that you were not taken off the voter lists.  Link

If you are not registered than you have until October 9 to fix it.

Every election is the most important one ever.  November 2018 is no exception.  Whoever controls the top state offices determines the next map of Ohio’s General Assembly Districts.  Even though Ohio’s voters are split pretty evenly between Republican and Democrats the gerrymandering perversion of our state gives absolute control to Republicans.  In general, the ruling party in Ohio does not share our values in education policy, education funding, testing, and a host of important issues.  We are looking for a little bit more balance and need our members to vote.

These recommendations for the election come from AFL-CIO and/or Ohio Federation of Teachers.  Each candidate has filled out a survey and been vetted.  These are our candidates.  Please support them.

We are trying to tailor make the Clutch by your voting precinct, so please let me know if these are not your candidates.

The Clutch is so named because of an old fable that this is the sheet that members clutch while in the voting booth.
