Where they stand
Elections and voting
The legislature should respect the result of citizen ballot initiatives, rather than seeking new ways to criminalize behavior that Ohioans have clearly chosen to legalize.

Government ethics
Representation should not be a tribal contest, nor should decisions come from lobbyists or party leadership.
Source: Joshua Umbaugh
Jobs and the economy
We should not bail out or subsidize large corporations, giving them unfair advantages over our locally owned small businesses.

Property taxes
End Property Taxes – Support ballot initiative to abolish real property taxes.
Veterans
I support Defend the Guard legislation, which would prohibit deploying Ohio Guard troops to overseas combat without a formal congressional declaration of war.
