Where they stand
Education
Every child deserves an excellent education , regardless of their ZIP code. With a public-school teacher in his own family, Ian understands that teachers need the freedom to teach, parents deserve a meaningful voice, and students need more pathways to successful careers.
Health care
Quality healthcare doesn't mean much if families can't afford it. Ian believes Ohio can lower healthcare costs by increasing competition and transparency, addressing the cost of essential medications, and focusing resources on patients rather than bureaucracy.
Jobs and the economy
Make more things here. Northwest Ohio was built by generations of people who made things, built things, and worked with their hands. Ian wants to build on that heritage so our children don't have to leave home to find opportunity.
Public safety
Every family deserves to feel safe in their home and neighborhood. Ian believes public safety requires supporting the men and women who protect our communities, holding repeat violent offenders accountable, and giving appropriate nonviolent first-time offenders an opportunity to get their lives back on track.
Roads and infrastructure
Northwest Ohio's economy depends on affordable, reliable energy and infrastructure capable of supporting future growth. Ian supports an all-of-the-above approach that keeps the lights on, protects ratepayers, and ensures our region can compete for the jobs of tomorrow.
Taxes
District 41 should remain a place where working families can afford to buy a home, raise a family, and retire with security. Ian believes government should respect how hard taxpayers work for every dollar and focus tax relief on the families, seniors, and homeowners who need it most.
Veterans
Military service runs through generations of Ian's family, and he believes Ohio has an obligation to stand behind the men and women who stood up for our country. Supporting veterans should mean more than thanking them for their service—it should mean making Ohio a place where veterans and military families can thrive.
Why they are running
District 41 should be a place where families can afford to live, businesses can grow, neighborhoods are safe, and our children can build successful lives without having to leave home. Ian is running to make that future possible.
