My Platform

Families across our district deserve the chance to build stable, secure lives right here at home. I’m focused on growing our local economy in ways that create good-paying jobs, support small businesses, and keep opportunity in our communities.

That means investing in infrastructure projects that put people to work immediately while improving the roads, water systems, and broadband our businesses rely on. It means expanding workforce training partnerships between local schools, community colleges, and employers so students graduate with skills that lead directly to careers. And it means making it easier for small businesses to start, hire, and grow by cutting unnecessary red tape and improving access to low-interest development loans.

Our region has incredible potential—from small manufacturers to family farms to local entrepreneurs. With smart state-level policies, we can attract new industries, strengthen the ones already here, and make sure economic growth benefits working families, not just out-of-town corporations.

I believe every student in Ohio deserves a strong foundation and real opportunities to succeed. Quality K–12 education isn’t just about textbooks and test scores—it’s about preparing our kids for the challenges of tomorrow, supporting teachers in the classroom, and ensuring every school has the resources it needs to thrive. That means making sure public school funding goes where it’s needed most and reducing private school vouchers that drain resources from our community schools. I am committed to policies that invest in our schools, expand access to technology and extracurricular programs, and give every child the tools to reach their full potential. Education is the key to opportunity, and I will fight to make it a priority for our community.

Too many families in Northern Ohio are being priced out of the communities they call home. Affordable housing isn’t just a line on a policy sheet—it’s the difference between stability and constant stress, between opportunity and being stuck. I want to make sure development benefits local residents, that public resources support the families who need them most, and that housing policies don’t drain our communities of the people who make them strong. Everyone deserves a place to live with dignity, and I’m ready to fight for it.

Farming is the backbone of Northern Ohio, and I’ve seen firsthand how hard our farmers work to feed families while facing rising costs, unpredictable markets, and regulatory challenges. Our state government has a responsibility to support agriculture, from investing in local infrastructure and fair pricing policies to protecting farmland and promoting sustainable practices. I am committed to standing with our farmers, ensuring their voices are heard in Columbus, and helping Northern Ohio remain a place where agriculture—and the communities it sustains—can thrive.

Too often, government works for special interests instead of the people it’s meant to serve. Misleading policies, hidden fees, and a lack of financial transparency make it hard for families to trust their leaders. I’m committed to changing that by making government open, accountable, and responsive—ensuring that decisions and public dollars reflect the needs of our communities, not the agendas of the well-connected. Leadership should be accessible, honest, and grounded in the everyday realities of the people it represents—and that’s exactly what I’m here to deliver.

Too many families in our district are just one medical emergency away from crushing debt. Rising healthcare costs aren’t just a personal problem—they’re a statewide issue that demands action in our legislature. I am committed to supporting state policies that expand access to affordable care, cap unnecessary medical fees, and ensure Ohioans aren’t forced to choose between their health and their financial stability. Healthcare should protect families, not push them deeper into debt, and I will fight in Columbus to make that a reality for every community in our district.
