2026 Annual Fundraiser: Boots, BBQ & Blue - June 27
"We can't shop our way out of this.
We can't coupon our way out of this.
We can't discount our way out of this.
The answer to affordability is better wages, better jobs, and an economy built to serve the people who do the work."
— Brian Griffin, Cincinnati AFL-CIO Labor Council Executive Secretary-Treasurer
At our annual fundraiser, Representative Allison Russo, candidate for Secretary of State, spoke on election laws, gerrymandering, and the unchecked balance of power at the State House, remarks that resonated with everyone in the room.
Councilman Seth Walsh, candidate for State Treasurer, brought the energy at our annual fundraiser, laying out how a State Treasurer should work for us: putting money back into working people's pockets and rebuilding our communities instead of selling out to billionaires.
Allison Russo, February 8, 2026
A strong crowd of engaged voters from Brown and Adams Counties gathered for a timely discussion on the importance of Ohio’s Secretary of State and the growing concerns around voting rights and election access. Representative Russo emphasized why the next Secretary of State must be ready to lead on day one, especially in the face of Ohio’s Republican supermajority.
Drawing on her experience as former Ohio House Minority Leader, Russo shared how Democrats have used every tool available to push back against some of the most harmful proposals and protect democratic processes. The conversation was thoughtful and wide-ranging, with many questions from the audience, and attendees left better informed and energized about what’s at stake.

Brown County Democratic Club Fall Fundraiser 2025
The Brown County Democratic Club held its annual Fall Fundraiser on October 7th at Sons of Toil Brewing in Mt Orab, featuring guest speaker Rachel Coyle, co-founder of How Things Work at the Ohio Statehouse. Coyle, who described herself as “obsessed with everything related to the Ohio Statehouse,” emphasized the growing importance of state-level action as more responsibilities shift from the federal government to the states. She discussed topics including redistricting, local schools, and the importance of contacting state representatives. She took thoughtful questions from attendees on property taxes, gerrymandering, and school vouchers. The well-attended evening concluded with a silent auction of delicious baked goods donated by members and supporters.
Coyle encouraged attendees to contact their state legislators, pointing out that it’s far easier to reach state representatives and their staff than many realize.
