Rose Lounsbury
I am determined to champion and defend efforts to promote the freedom and autonomy of women. This includes reproductive rights, closing the gender pay gap, providing affordable childcare for working moms, supporting funding for research to improve women’s physical and mental health, and breaking down the systemic barriers women all too often still face in the workplace.

Education

Public schools were invented in America and are part of what makes us great! The Ohio legislature was charged by the Supreme Court to fix the Ohio K-12 school system, and the political leadership has ignored the issue for 17 years!

I will bring my experience and compassion as an educator to the statehouse. I will fight to reverse Ohio’s long-standing unconstitutional school funding model by eliminating the property tax-based funding system.

I will advocate for an end to gerrymandering, push to increase voting rights through proven measures such as same-day voter registration and automatic voter registration, and demand an end to the undemocratic voter purges that disproportionately affect voters who are young, poor, or people of color.
