Where they stand
Agriculture
The costs of running a farm have skyrocketed. Tariffs have hit Ohio farmers hard and everyone who depends on our state's agriculture.

Elections and voting
Gerrymandering, voter suppression, and erosion of the rule of law need to be fixed.
Source: Brooke Dillon
Health care
To add insult to injury, accessing affordable healthcare, whether that is through your job, the ACA and what you get from it is almost not worth what is being taken out of your paycheck.
Source: Brooke Dillon
Housing
Renting at this point, is often way more expensive than purchasing a home, in a housing market that most people can not afford to purchase the median priced home.
Source: Brooke Dillon
Property taxes
Property taxes are too high, pushing people out of their homes that have been bought and paid for for decades.
Source: Brooke Dillon
Why they are running
Voters should have a choice – and we need real change at the State House. Ohio has been run by Republican majorities for decades, and it has served hardly anyone except special interests. We are lagging behind in clean energy innovation at the same time that social services are eroding. I want to get elected to help make a change – and to strengthen this state and our community.
Workers and wages
The state minimum wage isn't keeping up, and working-class families are bearing the brunt.
