Happy Mother’s Day to the moms who are still holding our hands here on Earth… and the ones still holding our hearts from Heaven. 💗

Today we celebrate the love, strength, memories, sacrifices, and quiet moments that shaped us into who we are. Some hugs we can still hold onto, and some we carry in spirit every single day.

Thinking of everyone missing their mom, celebrating their mom, becoming a mom, or loving someone else’s children like their own today. 🌸✨

We are at the 15th Annual Ohio Land Bank Conference at the Glass City Center in Toledo!

Rita Darrow had the opportunity to connect with leaders across the state, including Shorter Griffith, President of Barberton City Council.

Always inspiring to see collaboration focused on strengthening our communities and driving meaningful change.

Looking forward to bringing new ideas and momentum back home!

If the Trump admin cancels TPS for Haitians, it would amount to firing hundreds of thousands of experienced, tax-paying workers who are essential to our economy

Congress should reject this anti-immigrant, anti-worker agenda and vote to extend Haiti TPS. https://aflcio.org/press/releases/afl-cio-calls-members-congress-vote-defend-haiti-tps-and-immigrant-workers

I apologize for the long post, but Please read. Thank you, yard signs are available.

Why I support Molly Schneider for State Representative District 35.

I looked hard at both candidates, after meeting Molly, her family and reaching out to residents in District 35, which encounters parts of Summit, Aurora, Geauga, and Portage Counties, I immediately realized why I needed to support Molly Schneider.

We need to be successful in the other critical Counties besides my area of Summit County.

Molly was born in a family of longtime service to communities.

Grandfather, Grandmothers, Fathers, Mothers, Educators, School Board, Council, Mayors, in-laws (husbands Grandfather, long time Judge in Cuyahoga County), including herself, School Board member, Educator, and her wonderful Husband Matt Schneider, a Military Veteran, fireman, and now Fire Chief.

I thank them all for their life long service to their Communities and Country.

Molly and her family truly love and serve Community.

I want to also mention, Molly Schneider, a Military wife and Mom,
Whom was raised in a family of service to others, but has built her own path of continued success and service to others.

I hope you reach out as I did and meet Molly Schneider, candidate for State Representative District 35.

We Need your help and support to ensure Molly Schneider has your Vote in May 2026 Primary. Early Voting begins next week, in person, absentee or on Election Day.

I’m proud to publicly support Judge Kelly McLaughlin, an incumbent Democratic judge who has consistently demonstrated integrity, fairness, and a deep commitment to justice.

I’ve had the privilege of knowing Kelly long before she ever ran for the bench. She is not only a dedicated public servant, but also a valued member of the Federated Democratic Women of Summit County—an organization I’ve been actively involved with since 2015.

From her first successful election to her continued service on the bench, I have remained a loyal supporter because I’ve seen firsthand her honesty, her work ethic, and her unwavering respect for the rule of law.

Judge Kelly McLaughlin brings integrity to the courtroom every single day, and I am honored to stand with her.
