Here are the top three stories in Cleveland today:

1. Thanks to a grant from the Greater Cleveland Partnership, the city of Euclid has opened a new electric vehicle charging station. The grant will provide $15,000 over five years to support city funding for the charging station. EV drivers can find the newest Level 2 station in the parking lot between the Euclid Public Library and City Hall. (News 5 Cleveland)
2. A new report from the American Lung Association gave Ohio multiple "F" grades for its smoking prevention efforts. The state was dinged in the area of tobacco prevention and control funding, tobacco taxes, and flavored tobacco products. However, Ohio did receive an "A" for smoke-free air, as well as a "B" for access to cessation services. (Cleveland Patch)
3. On Wednesday, former Ohio State Senator Nina Turner announced that she will be running for Congress. Turner will be campaigning for Greater Cleveland's Congressional district in the 2022 midterm elections. (WJW FOX 8 News Cleveland)
