Who's actually running for your seat? Tonight you'll find out 👀
Good morning, Jackson County. Democracy is showing up in person this Monday — four Democratic candidates running for Ohio House seats across Southeastern and South-Central Ohio are coming to the Think For Yourself Clubhouse for a free Meet The Candidates night from 5 to 7 p.m. It's the kind of civic moment worth putting down the remote for. Meanwhile, the national headlines are moving fast: U.S.-China trade tensions are rattling markets, a flamethrower attack in Boulder left eight injured, and proposed fee hikes could make the path to citizenship significantly more expensive.
On a lighter note, the events calendar is stacking up nicely — Caleb & John bring live music August 4th, and the Brennan Classic Strength Event rolls in August 8th. Fresh local listings are also waiting over in Real Estate.
