Where they stand
Cost of living
Families, seniors, and small businesses in Seneca and Sandusky Counties are getting squeezed. Groceries cost more, utility bills keep going up, and property taxes are pushing people, especially seniors, toward the edge.
Education
They show up in classrooms, and they show up on property tax bills. I want the people making them to hear from the folks doing the work.

Health care
Too many families in Seneca and Sandusky Counties are one medical bill away from financial disaster. Meanwhile, Columbus cuts funding for the programs that help working families afford care.
Jobs and the economy
I've spent over 20 years at Toledo Molding & Die. I know what it takes to build a life here, and I know how often working people get treated like an afterthought by decision-makers in Columbus.
Public safety
Safe communities mean supporting first responders and tackling addiction and mental health in a way that actually reduces crime. I'll work to: Support police, firefighters, EMTs, and dispatchers with the staffing and equipment they need Expand mental health and addiction treatment so families can get help before a crisis Use evidence-based programs that reduce repeat offenses and keep neighborhoods safe The bottom line: Public safety means backing first responders and preventing crises before they happen. I'll fight for practical steps that keep our neighborhoods safe.
Why they are running
That's why Aaron is running for State Representative — because District 88 deserves representation grounded in real work, real service, and real community ties.
