It's my supreme pleasure this morning to introduce the thirteenth member of the Great Slate, Susan Moran Palmer, running for Congress in the 16th district of Ohio (a rabbit-shaped district that includes a bunch of the western suburbs of Cleveland) https://www.susanpalmerforcongress.com/

"What fresh madness is this?" you might ask. OH-16 is not a rural district, and Susan Palmer is not really a progressive—she's more of an old-style union hall Democrat with a business background in health care. She's not for single-payer (she wants to strengthen the ACA). Heresy!

The answer lies in her opponent, Anthony Gonzalez, a 34 year old former Ohio State football player and failed startup bro who moved to the district from California to run for the OH-16 open seat in what appears to be a journey of self-discovery.pic.twitter.com/fM35qQ1fN1

Gonzalez has no political experience, hasn't lived in the district in years, and has no policy positions except supporting Trump and promising he wouldn't have voted for whatever legislation may be unpopular in the district. He's been showered with money by Republican PACs.

Gonzalez is looking to coast into Congress on his football celebrity, money, and his lack of any kind of record. He refuses to hold debates with Palmer, counting on a 20:1 advantage in cash on hand to see him through. But a 20:1 cash advantage is easy to fix.

Susan Palmer just received an endorsement from Barack Obama, and has been working hard to prove that northeast Ohio wants real representation in Congress, not feckless bros looking to start the next chapter in their lives. Please join me in supporting her!https://secure.actblue.com/donate/great_slate …

To sweeten this deal, an anonymous donor has offered to match the next $3,000 in donations to the Great Slate (whether it's allocated to Susan or across the board). Post receipts here or DM me to get the match!

Replying to @Pinboard
Deleted my earlier reply re Gonzalez bc I don’t know him personally. I do follow him on this website and have been endlessly disappointed in him tho. Let’s Go Susan!
