Where they stand
Cost of living
Ohio families deserve a secure financial future. Government cannot control every price, but it should never make life more expensive. Decreasing income taxes, reducing mandated fees, and incenting development of affordable housing and lower cost energy will make a difference.

Data centers
Data centers can deliver billions in private investment, boost local tax revenue, create high-quality jobs, and support Ohio's technology economy, but not at the expense of taxpayers and utility customers. Full transparency of energy and water use, utility rate impacts, and emerging technologies is essential.

Education
A strong economy starts with strong schools, grounded in reading, writing, and math excellence. We must refocus Ohio schools on core academic achievement, empower parents with a meaningful voice, and ensure they have the freedom to choose the best educational path for their children.

Property taxes
Ohioans face some of the highest property taxes in the nation, and while recent action by the General Assembly is a step forward, it’s not enough. My plan delivers real relief for seniors while protecting the strength of our state budget.

Roads and infrastructure
Continued investment in roads, bridges, utilities, energy, and modern technology is essential to keeping Ohio competitive. I will secure these investments for 34th House District to strengthen public safety and expand job opportunities.

Why they are running
We must strive to make Ohio the best place in America to start, grow, and operate a business. This will lead to better job opportunities and bigger paychecks.
