Where they stand

Their own words, by issue, with the date, the venue and the link. A paraphrase is marked as one.

Education

Bride Rose Sweeney

As the sponsor of the Fair School Funding Plan, I built on a 5-year bipartisan effort and succeeded in finally overhauling Ohio’s broken, unconstitutional school funding formula. I'll fight to fully fund the plan, put the needs of students first and ease Ohio's over-reliance on property taxes.

Elections and voting

Bride Rose Sweeney

my office used public records requests and other tools to uncover errors in the Secretary of State’s voter registration purge. We found over a thousand voters wrongfully removed from the rolls in Cuyahoga County alone, resulting in the Secretary reversing course to restore registrations across Ohio.

Why they are running

Bride Rose Sweeney

I am running for re-election because Ohio needs more leaders who are committed to finding real solutions to the problems we face, not finding more ways to divide us.
