A few things I believe. Some might earn your vote. Some might not. Either way, you know where I stand.

WE DID IT 🥳! 6,131 of you!!!

This moment isn’t just mine, it belongs to every single person who believed in this campaign, showed up, spoke out, and stood by me every step of the way.

Because of you, we’ve made it through the primary, and we’re one step closer to bringing real representation to our community.

From day one, this has always been about our voices, our future, and what we can build together. I’m beyond grateful for your support, your energy, and your trust.

This is just the beginning. Now, we keep going.

Thank you for everything.

I’m Ukeme Awakessien Jeter, honored to be your Democratic Nominee for State Representative in Ohio’s 7th District!

My name is Ukeme Awakessien Jeter, and I am running to represent the 7th District in Ohio's House of Representatives.

I am the Council President and Mayor of Upper Arlington, an attorney, an engineer, a mother, and an immigrant.

Property taxes, energy bills, and childcare costs are too high, and leaders in the Statehouse are failing to rise up to this moment.

I hope you'll rise with me. Let's get to work. www.ukemeforus.com by @ukemeforus

Thank you to all this year’s organizers for another wonderful UAPA annual picnic!

I loved spending time with neighbors who are engaged, paying attention, and ready to do the work.

Organizations like UAPA play a critical role in keeping people engaged in our democracy, mobilizing voters, and making sure more voices are heard in the political process.

There is a lot at stake this November and it’s going to take all of us. Let’s get out the vote! 💙🧡

Here’s the math: 30 volunteers each giving us just 90 minutes of their time = our goal of 1,000 doors 💥

lock in. 🔒

Many hands make light work and I need 30 of you with me Sunday. 💪🏾

Endorsement Alert 🚨‼️

Proud to earn the endorsement of the 3.14 Action Fund @314_action

I started my career as an engineer and I still bring that engineer’s mindset to every problem I tackle.

Engineers are trained to ask questions, follow the evidence, understand how systems work, and then build solutions that work. We could use a whole lot more of that approach in government.

That’s why I’m especially proud to earn the endorsement of the 3.14 Action Fund, which works to elect scientists, engineers, and other STEM professionals to public office.

I’m ready to bring my problem-solving mindset to the Statehouse. 🧡💙

Last night, friends, neighbors, elected leaders, longtime supporters and new faces filled Boda Bean in The Little Grand to support our campaign 💙🧡

I’m grateful for every person who showed up, contributed, brought someone along, or simply said, keep going.

The finish line is getting closer. And I’m ready for the work on the other side of it.

Let’s R.I.S.E 🙌🏾

With less than two weeks before Ohioans start voting, we’re going for 1,000 doors in ONE Sunday. 🪧👟

And the only way we get there is together. So Team Ukeme is teaming up

🕐 1 PM | Clintonville with Ohio Wins
🕒 3 PM | Upper Arlington with the Democratic Candidate for Ohio Treasurer Seth Walsh

Here’s the math: 30 volunteers giving us just 90 minutes of their time each = our goal of 1,000 doors 💥

We know what happens when we get in front of voters and have real conversations. So let’s lock in. 🔒

Many hands make light work and I need 30 of you with me Sunday. 💪🏾

Who’s in? Drop a 🙋🏾‍♀️ in the comments and we’ll get you details

Such a blast to join the Fighting 21 & 22 at their 22nd Annual Rally on Kanawha! 🙌🏾

Thank you for organizing and bringing the energy. It was great to hear from candidates up and down the ballot, learn more about the issues before voters on the ballot, and spend time with so many neighbors ready to get to work.

Now we turn that energy into action—knocking doors, talking to voters, and getting out the vote across Central Ohio.

Let’s do this! 💪🏾

G’mar Chatima Tova to our friends and neighbors who are observing Yom Kippur.

I wish all who are observing have a final good sealing and an easy fast.

Thank you, Senator Bill DeMora, @senbilldemora for letting us take over your tailgate! 😂🏈 And thank you to the OSU Dems for bringing ALL the energy and awareness to voter registration.

So much fun tailgating with our future governor Dr. Amy Acton @amyactonoh (claiming it!) and then enjoying a great game. Nothing like a Saturday in Columbus.

O-H! ❤️🏈
