Trump finally admits it: He’s weakening the postal service to sway elections. It should disgust every American that a U.S. president — to tip the scales toward his own re-election — would openly work to destroy elements enshrined in the Constitution: the promise of honest elections.

My name is Alaina Shearer and I am running for Congress in Ohio's 12th District.

I'm not very fond of being told what to do. In fact, I've always been a bit of a rule breaker.

When I was a reporter. I was told - you can't win that award. Until I did.

When I was a single mom - I was told - you'll never get out of this, you're done. Until I did.

When I started my own business in the middle of the Great Recession they told me - you can't make it. Until I did.

When I decided to run for Congress - they told me - there's no way you'll flip the 12th.

Now, we've outraised my far right Republican opponent 3 to 1 and seen 20x the individual contributions. This is a grassroots movement in Ohio to flip a Congressional District for the first time in 37 years.

Some call me a "wild one."

Hey, I'll take it. That's who I am because this is where I'm from. Ohio is my heart and my soul. And today I'm fighting for affordable healthcare, a proper COVID response, and expanded childcare benefits for working families.
