| Collapse all
- We must clean up the corruption currently in our Ohio government. The people of Ohio deserve better! Roemer/Householder and the corrupt Bill HB6 must be replaced and repealed. Vote them out!
- When elected, I will initiate and partner to create a full and comprehensive economic recovery plan that includes incentives and aid for small businesses. They are the backbone of our great state.
- The COVID-19 crisis, has defined and determined the way in which we live today. Our health, wellbeing and safety are in the hands of each and every citizen of Ohio. We must protect and care for all Ohioans.
When elected as state representative of Ohio's 38th district, my most important priority is to be the firewall. To serve, represent and be an advocate of every citizen in the 38th district and the great state of Ohio. I will practice my ethical responsibility to be fully transparent and be the moral guardian that protects the citizens of Ohio from the corruption and greed that runs rampant in Ohio's state government today.
1. I will fight to increase access to healthcare for all Ohioan's, improve preventative health and protect the basic healthcare services for women and families.
2. I will work to promote accountability in the budget and avoid wasteful spending. I believe it is imperative that we continue to fund important programs to improve Ohio's healthcare system.
3. I will work to develop educational and job-training programs that meet the changing demands of a 21st century economy. Working to make the cost of college more affordable. Making trade and vocational programs available and accessible. Having a well-trained Ohio workforce will attract businesses that keep good jobs in the 38th District and Ohio.
4. Another top priority is on Ohio's infrastructure. This is a key part of the foundation of Ohio's economy. Our roads, bridges, highways, public transportation and water systems are in desperate need of restoration and repair. I am determined to improving the way we get to and from work and how we transport our goods to market.
5. COVID-19 has brought to light the urgency of providing rural access to broadband internet services. Helping to keep all children on an even educational playing field. Internet access in the 21st century is an essential tool for the health, education, job security and quality of life for every Ohioan.
6. We are all stewards of this great state. We owe it to those who fought to stop the poisoning of our waterways, improve the air we breathe and to protect the land we live on. I have been fighting to protect our Ohio waterways, land and air quality my entire adult life. Having spent most of my younger years in the waterways throughout Ohio and I have seen first hand how easy it is to tip the ecological scales.
