Democracy for America Celebrates 'No on 2' Victory in Ohio
Gets 50,000+ Out to Vote Nov. 8, Voters Reject Gov. Kasich Extremist Attack on Working Families
Burlington, VT –Democracy for America staff and their
40,000 members in Ohio celebrated last night, when voters turned out to
the polls and rejected Gov. Kasich’s deeply unpopular anti-labor law,
Senate Bill 5. DFA has been actively pushing the ‘No on 2’ campaign in
Ohio for the past five weeks--talking to voters at more than 50,000
homes about Gov. Kasich’s attack on hard-working Ohioans.
“The victory in Ohio should send a clear message to extremist
politicians like Gov. Kasich: policies that protect the wealthiest 1% at
the expense of the 99% of hard-working Americans are hugely unpopular
and will be rejected at the polls,” said Jim Dean, Chair of DFA. “DFA
and our 40,000 members in Ohio worked hard to get out the vote and
defeat the job killing Issue 2 and we will continue to fight back
against extremist right wing attacks on hard-working Americans.”
The results in Ohio are clear. ‘No on 2’ won by a clear margin with a healthy voter turnout.
More than one million Ohio voters signed a petition to bring Issue 2 to
the ballot because the bill passed by the state legislature, SB 5,
unfairly limited the bargaining rights of public workers in the state.
