Received this e-mail today from U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren (D. MA) in support of Richard Cordray (D. OH) and Betty Sutton’s (D. OH) campaign for Governor and Lt. Governor:
We talk a lot about stakes these days, and we don’t always explain what they mean—so I wanted to talk a little bit about what’s happening in Ohio right now.
If Rich and Betty win the race for governor and lieutenant governor this year,over 700,000 people could have their access to health care secured—and women in Ohio will no longer have their reproductive rights attacked by their own state leadership.
Rich and Betty have vowed to prioritize treatment and increase resources to the thousands of families affected by the spiraling opioid epidemic and finally find a solution to this devastating crisis.
In his time at the CFPB, Rich fought to adopt payday loan regulations that protect hard-working Americans—and as governor,he'll close the loophole that has allowed interest rates in Ohio to skyrocket to nearly 600%, ruining the lives of workers who were just looking for a loan.
I’m proud to stand with Rich and Betty in their campaign because I believe in their vision for Ohio. And it is critical that we win this fight.
National Republicans and their special interest friends are watching closely to see if kicking people off health care, abortion bans, and letting payday lenders run wild is a winning platform in the battleground state of Ohio. We absolutely have to show them that fairness and progress will win out over divisiveness in the end.
