I am committed to fighting fraud, waste, and abuse in local government spending. Taxpayers work too hard to see their money misused, lost to inefficiency, or siphoned off through poor oversight. Every dollar collected from Ohio families should be spent responsibly, transparently, and with clear accountability.

I strongly and unapologetically support law enforcement. The men and women who put on the badge each day deserve more than our gratitude — they deserve our full backing. Safe neighborhoods are the foundation of strong families, thriving businesses, and prosperous communities. Without law and order, nothing else works.

I stand firmly with our active duty military, our veterans, and their families. The freedoms we debate and defend here at home are protected by those willing to sacrifice everything abroad. Their service deserves more than words — it demands real support, proper resources, quality healthcare, and opportunities when they return home.
