Where they stand
Civil rights
I will work to stop the surveillance state and protect the privacy every Ohioan deserves. Government increasingly uses technology and data collection to monitor citizens without real oversight, turning free people into tracked subjects and eroding trust. Across the district families feel the impact of expanding surveillance. We pass by license-plate readers daily and facial recognition to data-sharing programs that lack strong limits. These intrusions threaten personal freedom and invite abuse from distant bureaucrats.

Government ethics
Too many decisions in the Statehouse favor special interests and unnecessary expansions over the people paying the bills. Rising costs combined with high taxes squeeze families who already live paycheck to paycheck. I will fight for accountability on every dollar and push for meaningful cuts to non-essential programs that drain resources without helping our communities.

Taxes
Ohio's state budget has ballooned with spending on programs that don't deliver value to everyday families. Hardworking tax payers should keep more of their earnings rather than see them vanish into waste and inefficiency.
