Local democrat to host political Facebook live, ‘What the Heck is Happening in Ohio'
(WKBN) — The Mahoning County Democratic Party will be using social media once a week to keep people informed about what's happening in Ohio. The program will be hosted by State Representative Lauren McNally and will air as a Facebook Live every Tuesday at 8:30 p.m. It'll be titled 'What the Heck is Happening in Ohio?' McNally said it will give people informed choices of what's happening in Ohio. 'State government is complicated, and often gets lost in the fold of what you see at the national level, and my goal is to help make it easier to understand and easier to access,' said McNally in a news release. It will air live on McNally's Facebook page @LaurenMcNallyforOhio. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.

Local representative visits high school to give first-hand knowledge of legislative process
HUBBARD, Ohio (WKBN) – Ohio State Representative Lauren McNally paid a visit Friday to Hubbard High School. She met with juniors in the American History class, giving them first-hand knowledge of the legislative process. 'It's one thing to learn about it from books, but it's another thing to really have an opportunity to talk to somebody who's in the weeds doing the work. So I hope I can offer them a different kind of perspective,' she said. McNally says her schedule can be chaotic — traveling to Columbus each week, working 12-hour days with committee sessions, hearings, meetings with lobbyists and ceremonies. When she comes home, the work doesn't stop. 'I represent nearly 145,000 people and they all have different needs, and they are all working towards different goals for themselves, their organizations, their businesses, their lives. So when they are contacting me, it's a never-ending job,' McNally said. She also talked to the students about the importance of public service, even at their age.
