Proudly Endorsed by State Rep. Michele Grim: A Strong Voice for Working Families Joins the Fight for District 84

State Rep. Michele Grim - (D-Toledo)

I am thrilled and deeply honored to announce that State Representative Michele Grim (D-Toledo) has endorsed my campaign for Ohio House District 84.

Rep. Grim is a proven leader in the Ohio House who has consistently put people first. She served as House Minority Assistant Whip, helping guide Democratic priorities during challenging times, and now serves as the Ranking Member of the House Transportation Committee—where she works to ensure our roads, bridges, and public transit systems serve everyday Ohioans.

What stands out most about Rep. Grim is her unwavering commitment to fighting for working-class Ohio families and standing up for marginalized communities. In a Statehouse often dominated by extreme agendas, she champions policies that deliver real relief: affordable healthcare, fair wages, safer communities, and opportunities for all Ohioans to thrive—no matter their background, zip code, or identity. Her voice has been a beacon of progress in Toledo and across northwest Ohio, reminding us that leadership means lifting up those who need it most.

This endorsement means the world to me. As someone who has served on St. Marys City Council, advocated as Vice-Chair of the Ohio Democratic Party Pride Caucus, and run once before for this seat in 2024, I've seen firsthand how our rural and small-town communities deserve better representation—representation that listens, fights for fairness, and builds a stronger future for families. That previous campaign taught me even more about the issues that matter most to District 84 residents, and it strengthened my resolve to keep showing up and pushing forward. Rep. Grim's support now validates that persistence and energizes our grassroots effort to bring common-sense, inclusive leadership to the Statehouse in 2026.

Together, we're committed to the same core principles:

• Protecting and expanding opportunities for working families through better jobs, education, and healthcare access.

• Standing firm against attacks on marginalized communities, ensuring every Ohioan is treated with dignity and respect.

• Investing in our infrastructure and local economies so District 84—and all of Ohio—can grow and prosper.

Rep. Grim's endorsement isn't just a vote of confidence; it's a call to action. It shows that leaders from across the region see the potential in our campaign and are ready to join us in making Ohio work for everyone.

If you're inspired by this partnership and ready to help build that fairer, more inclusive future, I invite you to join us today. Volunteer, donate, or simply spread the word—every step forward counts.

Grateful beyond words for Rep. Grim's support, and more determined than ever.

Together for District 84,

Arienne Childrey

Candidate for Ohio House District 84
