Is one debate too much to ask for? CONGRESSIONAL CANDIDATE KEN HARBAUGH.

You know it’s a bad sign when voters can’t remember how long it’s been since they’ve seen their elected representative.

Way back in April, in a rare public appearance, Bob Gibbs was asked if he would participate in a single debate before the general election.

He brushed the question off as “overblown.” He said, “I’ll decide that later.” Eventually.

Eventually? What could possibly be more important than participating in democracy? What is preventing him from being a representative and doing his job?

Well, we found out what’s been keeping him so ‘busy.’ More than 75% of Gibbs’ campaign is funded by corporate and political PACs. When he’s not voting to cut Medicare and strip health care from Ohio families, he’s doing the bidding of PACs and promoting their interests over ours.

America isn’t an aristocracy and it’s not a monarchy. Our elected officials are accountable to the PEOPLE. That’s why I’m calling on Gibbs to agree to an in-person, public debate with me once and for all.

We need as many voices as possible speaking out. Will you join me in calling on Gibbs to participate in a debate by signing your name?

In service,

Ken

Tough women make history. CONGRESSIONAL CANDIDATE MAURA SULLIVAN.

The 19th amendment marked a historic win in the battle for women’s rights in this country. But Maura knows that the fight for equality is far from over - women’s rights are under attack, health care is in jeopardy, and women still earn less than men for equal work. Plus, women make up only 20% of Congress.

Let’s face it - the behavior and actions of Donald Trump and the GOP are an attack on women and should not be tolerated. The 19th amendment was the result of hard work by tough women. Maura has fought for women’s rights in Washington before, and she’ll do it again - by standing up to Donald Trump and the GOP and advocating for what is right. 

The fight for women's rights isn’t over. This is the year to ensure women’s voices are heard in Congress.

Did you catch us on CBS Good Morning? CONGRESSIONAL CANDIDATE KEN HARBAUGH.

Growing up, we talked politics at the dinner table -- but honestly, I never expected to work on a campaign or be out knocking doors in the summer heat.

Watch us on CBS Good Morning here

2016 was a tipping point for me, just like it was for millions of Americans around the country. And now I’m proud to join Ken Harbaugh fighting to flip the OH-7 blue this year.

Team Harbaugh is powered ahead by folks like you and me, not by corporate PACs and special interest groups. Ken and I both know that the only way things will change is if we get to work.

So when I’m not sending emails like this, I’m out knocking doors with Ken and our volunteers so we can listen to what people have to say.

We’ve talked with older Ohioans who are choosing between paying for groceries or paying for prescription medication. We’ve talked to parents who are worried about health care because they have a child with a pre-existing condition.

This is why we’re fighting and why folks who have never been politically involved are volunteering with Team Harbaugh.

We couldn’t do this without you,

Micah
