Agriculture

Congress must support our Nation's farmers, ranchers, and producers to bolster our economy and secure America's food supply chain.

Southern Ohio exists in a broadband desert, which is why expanding broadband access is one of my top priorities in Congress. Without broadband, our communities are at risk of falling behind in the modern economy.

Commercial trucking safety

Jen Mazzuckelli

David Taylor

Every commercial vehicle on our nation’s highways should be operated by a driver who is following the rules, not a bad actor hiding behind inactive or illegitimate USDOT numbers. The REVOKE Act will give the Department of Transportation the tools it needs to shut down this dangerous practice, keep unqualified and unsafe operators off American roads, and prevent needless tragedies caused by reckless and unqualified CDL drivers.

Compromise and policymaking

Jen Mazzuckelli

I think that what is far more effective is the difficult work of problem solving. That requires relying on expertise and a commitment to finding solutions rather than assessing blame for the problem.

Congressional oversight of spending

Jen Mazzuckelli

If elected I will insist that the oversight be taken seriously. Every contract needs to be scrutinized. Every penny spent needs to be examined to make sure it is being spent as Congress intended. Any frozen and impounded appropriations need to be released and returned.

Cost of living

Jen Mazzuckelli

I know how it feels to search for affordable housing and have to settle on an apartment that costs over half of my income. She understands how disruptive an unexpected expense, like new shoes for the kids, or a higher than expected electric bill is to an already stressed budget. Or having to ration car trips to make sure there's enough gas in the tank to take the kids to school. It shouldn't be this hard to afford basic necessities.

Domestic violence and poverty

Jen Mazzuckelli

Domestic violence is a major driver of women and children into poverty. There needs to be a robust system of economic and legal supports for survivors of domestic violence, ESPECIALLY if they have children, so that they can become financially independent, economically stable, and lead autonomous lives free from fear, abuse and control.

Foreign policy and alliances

Jen Mazzuckelli

We have lost the trust of our allies and are no longer seen as a reliable partner in the world. This is only one of many major challenges we will face over the next decade but I believe that it is the most important because our national security and economic well-being depends on it. All other issues flow from this.

Qualities of an elected official

America’s veterans and citizens should not have to die to get their day in court. My Justice for Veterans and Victims of Terrorism Act will begin to close a loophole in our legal system that has disenfranchised Americans for too long, holding terrorists accountable and putting Americans first,

The role of Congress

Jen Mazzuckelli

We need a representative who fulfills their basic Constitutional responsibilities - the power of the purse, and the power to declare war. We need a representative who genuinely listens to our concerns and is responsive to OUR needs. We need a representative that acts as a public servant NOT a politician.
