Nina Turner is running for Congress again.
The former state senator and leading Bernie Sanders supporter announced her bid early Wednesday morning in a video posted to social media.
鈥淎merica is at a crossroads, wrestling between two futures,鈥� Turner said in the video. 鈥淒o we sacrifice the poor, the working poor, and the barely middle class to protect the ultra wealthy? Or do we treat our people as America鈥檚 greatest asset and ensure everyone has a real chance to live a good life?鈥�
ICYMI: I鈥檓 running for Congress.

Greater Cleveland needs a change maker in Washington. A leader who knows poverty is a policy choice. Someone who is on the side of the people鈥攏ot out for the powerful or out for themselves.
Join me:
Turner fell short in last year鈥檚 special election to fill the House seat of Marcia Fudge, who joined President Joe Biden鈥檚 cabinet as secretary of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
Wednesday鈥檚 announcement likely sets up a rematch between Turner and the winner of last year鈥檚 contest, Rep. Shontel Brown.
The big unknown in the race is the shape of the Congressional district. The Ohio Supreme Court threw out a proposed new map for the state. The state legislature must pass a new map in February.
