I’m Arienne Childrey, and I had the privilege of being one of only two transgender candidates running for the Ohio House in 2024. I’m excited to bring you this newsletter/podcast, where we’ll dive deep into the issues affecting our communities every day.
This substack isn’t just about talking points—it’s about sharing perspectives, breaking down what’s happening in the news, and bringing voices to the table that often go unheard. Whether we’re tackling policy, exploring stories of resilience, or getting personal with my own experiences on the campaign trail, I’m here to bring you insights you can trust and a perspective rooted in lived experience.
In upcoming episodes/articles, I’ll be sharing the behind-the-scenes of my 422-day run for the Ohio House—the ups, the downs, and everything in between. We’ll look at what motivated me to run, the reality of campaigning, what it means to lose and to regroup, and, most importantly, what it means to keep fighting. I hope this substack becomes a space for all of us to learn, reflect, and stay motivated together.
So if you're ready to dig into issues that matter, share your ideas, and help build a more inclusive future, you’re in the right place. I’m thrilled to have you join me on this journey. Let's set the agenda together.
