Their own words, by issue, with the date, the venue and the link. A paraphrase is marked as one.
Abortion
Bob Peterson
I'm staunchly pro-life and believe that life begins at conception. I've fought throughout my legislative career to protect the lives of the unborn and prevent public tax dollars from being used to carry out abortions.

Families and child care

Amy Wright
Too many parents are forced to choose between going to work and finding care they can afford and trust. When childcare is out of reach, it limits workforce participation and puts unnecessary strain on families. We must strengthen childcare infrastructure so families can fully participate in the workforce and our economy can thrive.

Guns

The right of the American people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. That protection is enshrined in our Constitution and it must be upheld.

Health care
Bob Peterson
I'm also working to ensure that Ohioans have the best health care system in the world - built around access, choice, and affordability, NOT a socialized, unsustainable, government-run mess. I'll continue working to expand free-market patient care options, such as telehealth, and I'll demand affordability in drug pricing and transparency in medical billing.

Housing
Bob Peterson

Amy Wright
Ohio is facing a critical shortage of affordable housing that impacts families and overall community stability. Individuals and families across District 91 are struggling to maintain their current housing or find affordable places to live, making it harder to make ends meet and/or plan for the future. We need practical solutions that expand access to affordable housing and support the long-term growth of our communities.

Immigration
Bob Peterson
We must do everything we can to protect our nation from enemies, both foreign and domestic. That means securing our borders, opposing sanctuary cities, and enforcing our immigration laws so those who seek to become Americans the legal way can do so, and those who seek to do us harm can't easily take advantage of our open doors.

Jobs and the economy
Bob Peterson
Let's trust our businesses, workers, and local government leaders to safely re-open our economy and start growing again. Government should incentivize and support private sector job creation, not create more bureaucracy.

School choice

Amy Wright
Programs like EdChoice are often framed as “pro-choice,” but in practice, they divert critical taxpayer funding away from public schools and into private and religious institutions. In rural districts, like District 91, families often don’t have the same access to those alternatives. Recommitting to fully and fairly funding our public schools so that every student, regardless of where they live, has access to the resources and opportunities they deserve.

Seniors
Bob Peterson
I'm committed to fulfilling those promises by making sure these programs are solvent and sustainable into the future. Our parents paid into Social Security and Medicare, just like the rest of us, and they deserve to know those benefits will be there for them unchanged.

Taxes
Bob Peterson
As a businessman and a legislator, I know what it takes to balance a budget and live within our means. In the Statehouse, I stood strong and voted against a Democrat plan to raise taxes and dramatically increase government spending. Instead, I've repeatedly voted to cut taxes, reduce and eliminate wasteful government spending, and protect your tax dollars.
