Where they stand

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

Gas tax holiday

Eric Synenberg

We should be investing in the things that actually lower costs for Ohio families, like public education, childcare, and affordable housing. Let’s stop prioritizing investments like $600 million dollars in taxpayer money for a new sports stadium and let’s start investing in the needs of Ohio families. We need lasting solutions to the affordability crisis, not temporary gimmicks that disappear after an election.

Why they are running

Eric Synenberg

I will fight for defending democracy, LGBTQIA+ and womens rights, fair school funding, and common-sense gun reform. I am a bridge-builder and a compromiser and, when possible, will work across the aisle to move Ohio forward. I will work hard to drive workforce development, economic development, and job growth to my district and to all of NE Ohio.
