I'm Kristina Knickerbocker: Air Force Veteran, Nurse Practitioner, and Mom. I’m running for Congress because hardworking families in Ohio are being left behind. Our bills are too high, healthcare is too expensive, and the chaos in Washington is taking its toll on every American. The stakes have never been higher. We're at a critical moment for our nation and our democracy. Mission failure is not an option. Not for my family, not for yours, and not for our country. #OH10

Great to stop by Central State University, Ohio’s only publicly funded HBCU, and talk with students about why voting matters and why they deserve a representative who shows up.

Joni Watson taught in Dayton Public Schools for 35 years. Now she’s working two part-time jobs in retirement just to cover gas, groceries, and a $1,000 electric bill. I hear stories like hers all the time. Ohio families are paying more while Mike Turner looks the other way. We can change that on November 3.

Had a great time getting out the vote in Dayton with Dulé Hill! What’s next? Making your plan and getting to the polls. #OH10

Unlike Rep. Mike Turner, @KnickerbockerOH doesn't accept corporate PAC money. She knows families in #OH10 are looking for a leader in Congress who'll fight to make their lives more affordable, not enrich corporate donors.

Thank you to Rev. Al Sharpton for having me on tonight. I'm a veteran, a nurse practitioner, and a mom, and I'm running for Congress so Ohio's 10th District has someone who shows up for the people here. #OH10

Mike Turner’s been in office so long he’s forgotten who pays the bill. Ohio families are paying more for everything. Diesel near record highs. Electric bills up 11% in a year. Health premiums jumped again. After 30 years, it’s time to retire Mike Turner. #OH10

Health care that works. Costs we can afford. A Congress that answers to you, not special interests. That’s what I’m fighting for. I’m Kristina Knickerbocker, and I’m ready to get to work. #OH10

Dr. Amy Acton has spent her life caring for people and Vivek Ramaswamy spent $4 million to capitalize on her childhood trauma by creating an ad of her estranged mother. It's callous, it's shameful, and it should be taken down. This predatory behavior is un-American.

Honored to be endorsed by Veterans for Responsible Leadership. I took an oath to serve this country, and that commitment didn't end when I took off the uniform. As a veteran, a nurse practitioner, and a mom, I know what it means to show up for others, and that's exactly what I'll do in Congress.

Races are emerging! Kristina @KnickerbockerOH has a great chance to unseat Mike Turner in the Dayton area OH-10. She’s a veteran & oncology nurse practitioner & Turner has a sad 16% rating on senior issues for his 24 years! We got a Social Security round table going in a day!

I’m teaming up with the National Association of Social Workers for a coffee chat and canvass! Social workers see firsthand what families across Ohio are facing and I'm honored to have their endorsement in this race. RSVP here: mobilize.us/s/8wH29Z

The best accessory of the season? A brand new “I Voted” sticker. Loved joining the annual Voters March as Dayton Public School student's cast their very first votes!

RATING CHANGE: Cook Political Report shifted OH-10 toward Air Force veteran and nurse Kristina Knickerbocker. Likely R ➡️ Lean R @KnickerbockerOH has dedicated her life to serving others. Rep. Mike Turner has spent 30+ years in politics serving himself. #OH10

New Politics is proud to endorse Kristina Knickerbocker for Ohio’s 10th Congressional District. @KnickerbockerOH is a U.S. Air Force veteran and oncology nurse practitioner. Service has shaped every chapter of her life. If anybody can flip #OH10, it’s a servant leader like her.

Proud to be endorsed by UFCW Local 75, and proud to join their fight to ban surveillance pricing. Corporations shouldn’t use your personal data to charge you more for groceries. In Congress, I’ll stand with UFCW to end it.

I'm an Air Force veteran and a nurse. I've spent my life serving others, not myself. Mike Turner took money tied to one of Epstein's biggest confidants and refused to hold them accountable. I know how to stand up for what's right.

Empty chair after empty chair this week. We deserve more than being stood up by Congressman Mike Turner. #OH10

After 30 years in politics, Congressman Mike Turner knows a few dirty tricks. So before he comes for me, here's the truth. I'm an Air Force veteran, a nurse practitioner, and a mom. And like so many families here, mine is feeling higher grocery bills, pricier healthcare, and the frustration of working twice as hard to get half as far. That's why I'm running. #OH10
