Cost of living
Paraphrase of a linked source, not their words:
Her Ballotpedia Candidate Connection survey answer, written in the third person, says: "As a nurse and local community member, Megan sees how rising costs strain families every day. She hears from people who are working hard but still struggling to afford rent, groceries, child care, and prescription medications."
Source: Megan Coy
Education
As a graduate of Ohio’s public schools and the daughter of a retired public school teacher, Megan understands the urgency of proper funding for our public schools.
Source: Issues
Elections and voting
Megan recognizes that she is elected by the people and that elected officials shouldn’t be part of drawing the maps that determine their districts.
Source: Issues
Health care
As a registered nurse, Megan sees first hand how the people of Ohio struggle to get the care they need. She has witnessed insurance companies denying coverage for recommended cancer treatments, hospitals no longer accepting a particular insurance, prescription prices that are unaffordable and the difficulty accessing reliable transportation for appointments.
