Subject: [Ohio-talk] Day 1 in Columbus

Hello Everyone,

I wanted to take a minute to update you all on our first day in the Ohio
State House. Mike and I made nine appointments to Senator offices  today. We
first focused on the members of both the Judiciary and Rules and Reference
Committees, and of course Senator Obhof's office. We then started on the
rest of the Rules committee. We went to Senator Peterson's office, who is
the Vice Chair of the Rules and Reference Committee. He happened to be
between meetings at the time of our arrival and he gave us four minutes to
pitch our speech. That is all we needed, and we won him over! It was
awesome. After that we went to Senator Kunse, who has OSSB in her district,
and then to Senator Yuko's office. This is where we got the greatest news.
The email had just been sent out by Senator Obhof's office that Wednesday's
session will be held after all!

Tomorrow is another day, and we are not done yet. We plan to visit the rest
of the Rules Committee, and then as many other offices as we can fit into
the day. On Wednesday, we will be at the Rules and Reference Committee
meeting at 11:00 AM and then of course, when the bill gets on the agenda, be
at the Senate session at 1:30 PM.

Mike can fill in anything I forgot, but it has been an extremely productive
day.

Stay tuned for more!

 

Best Regards,

Sheri Albers
