26 reasons to support Sherrod
26 is a special number here on Team Sherrod, where our average online contribution is just $26.
So this month, we’ve put together a list of 26 reasons you should support Sherrod in November. Take a look, and be sure to share this with five (or 26!) of your friends.
—
1. Sherrod fights for all Ohioans—not just those at the top.
Last night wasn't "spewing stuff."
It's fighting like hell for Americans who are getting ripped off by this tax bill. -SB https://t.co/n0Pjg5nXFh

2. Even as Republicans try to make it harder for Americans to vote, Sherrod fights to expand that right—and always has.
When I was Secretary of State, we set up voter registration sites in high schools, food banks, in the Bureau of Motor Vehicles. I even asked McDonald's to print voter registration forms on their tray liners.
Bottom line: We should be making it easier—not harder—to vote. pic.twitter.com/tHTUFWuACE

4. Schools, nightclubs, churches, and movie theaters should be places of safety, not violence. Sherrod understands that, and has pushed repeatedly for common-sense gun safety measures. He was proud to participate in the March for Our Lives earlier this year, and will continue speaking out until this issue is addressed.
5. Sherrod doesn’t just talk about making sure Americans have quality healthcare at a reasonable cost. Before the Affordable Care Act became law, Sherrod refused to accept the health insurance plans covering many of his colleagues in Congress, because all Americans, not just the wealthy, or those in elected office, deserve affordable healthcare.
6. He fights against bad trade deals that leave American workers behind. Some have even called trade his “jam.”

7. Sherrod recognizes women’s fundamental right to quality, affordable care, and works hard to make sure women have access to the healthcare they need.
9. He knows that people all over the country should have more to show for the hard work they put in every day, and fights for better protections and fairer wages in the workplace.
10. Sherrod wants to make sure our seniors can retire securely. Whether he’s working to protect Medicare or fighting for solutions to the worsening pension crisis, seniors like Norm and Joyce know Sherrod has their back.
"Sherrod supported us on the job and supports us in retirement, working to make sure that we have access to the care and resources that we earned to lead a healthy, fulfilling life after a life of hard work.” —Norm Wernet, President of the Ohio Alliance for Retired Americans pic.twitter.com/rAimnAxDbl

12. All Americans deserve the same rights—no matter who they are or who they love. Sherrod believes that and always fights for true equality for members of the LGBTQ community.
A reminder that #LoveIsLove, today and every day.
To all those celebrating this weekend: Have a safe and happy Pride!

14. Our servicemembers put themselves in harm’s way to protect our freedoms and our families. Sherrod stands with them, whether he’s working on legislation to support veterans in the workplace or pushing back against this administration’s plans to put corporate profits ahead of those who’ve served.
15. Sherrod stands with Ohioans like Kim, a disability activist whose son has a rare genetic disorder—because he knows individuals with disabilities deserve quality care and support.
"Too often, people with disabilities are overlooked, written off, and defined by what they cannot do. Sherrod listens to the disability community and takes our needs seriously."

18. He recognizes the policies that led to the 2008 financial crisis—which devastated Ohio families—and fights against legislation that would loosen regulations on Wall Street.
Here's my message to Wall Street: We don't work for big banks, we work for the American people. We can't go back to the days when taxpayers are in jeopardy of bailing out Wall Street's risky bets. pic.twitter.com/yIr64c8ALQ

19. Sherrod fights for true equality in the workplace.
20. Just like Al, who works to make his community better, Sherrod works every day to improve our country.
“I get up every day wanting to make my community better. I think Sherrod wakes up every day just like I do—wanting to make our country better.”

21. Sherrod makes sure children, families, and those with pre-existing conditions will have the healthcare they need.
22. He knows Americans deserve a free and open internet.
The internet provides access to unlimited information – and gives Americans the freedom to run their small businesses, share their ideas, and communicate with each other. Repealing #NetNeutrality is an attack on those basic rights.
Retweet if you agree.

23. While this administration stalls on their “plan” to overhaul our country’s infrastructure, Sherrod is taking meaningful, tangential steps to improve our communities.
24. Sherrod loves his dog, Franklin. And who doesn’t love dogs?
25. He understands that dignity, equality, justice, and opportunity are on the ballot this November.
