CLEVELAND, OH - At a rally in her hometown of Cleveland, Democratic State Senator Kayley Brennan announced her campaign to be the next Governor of Ohio. Senator Brennan vowed to fight for justice, equity, climate action, fair taxation, and a more engaged government effort to improve the lives of everyday Ohioans. 
 

“Right now, our state government isn’t working for the people,” Senator Brennan said in a statement issued to the press. “Under Republicans, Ohio has failed to invest in the working class and marginalized communities. We have failed to protect the equal rights of Ohioans who are people of color and a part of the LGBT community. Business as usual hasn’t worked for Ohio; it’s time for change.” 
 

Senator Brennan has built a career fighting for everyday Ohioans and marginalized communities. As a longtime activist for equity and women’s rights, she has direct experience working in the ground with people who are left behind by our system. 
 

“We need a government that is more responsive to giving everyday Ohioans who are struggling a hand up. We need a government that is interested in fairness and justice for all, no matter your race, skin color, or sexual orientation,” she continued in her statement. 
 

Senator Brennan is promising to raise taxes on super wealthy corporations and individuals to pay for more social services, increased access to healthcare, and anti-poverty programs. As Governor, she will work to protect reproductive rights and expand access to family planning services, and she will enact policies that reform our prison and justice system to be more equitable for BIPOC communities. 
 

Brennan declared in her statement: “Republicans are holding Ohio back from the American Dream. Not only will I stop holding us back, I’ll give us a boost forward.”
