Chair's Corner - March 4, 2026

When everything else is going wrong, Republicans always have a reason to start a war in the Middle East. But don’t worry, if you and your wife are mentioned nearly 38,000 times in the Epstein files, manufacturing jobs are plummeting because of your economic policies, and health care costs, shit costs for most everything, are skyrocketing, you just need to attack Iran. Even though you told us last year that you’d obliterated their nuclear program.

Conservative policies don’t work, that’s why the last three Democratic presidents have inherited and fixed, economic catastrophes.

Republicans have no new ideas for the world we live in. We need more houses in America, more high-paying jobs in Cleveland, and fewer Republicans running Ohio. 30 years of backwards Republican policies in our state now have Ohio ranked 43rd in population growth.

Get rid of Republicans by joining with us in Cuyahoga County and signing up on our website at the Voter Engagement Project to help get to more voters in any way you can.
