Where they stand
Education
Every child deserves a quality education that prepares them for success in college, careers, and life. Ohio’s schools should focus on teaching the fundamentals while equipping students with the practical skills employers need.

Energy and utility bills
Ohio needs an energy strategy that produces more power, lowers utility bills, and supports economic growth. By expanding energy generation, modernizing our electric grid, and reducing unnecessary government barriers, we can make Ohio an energy leader while keeping costs affordable for families and businesses.

Health care
Healthcare should be affordable, accessible, and focused on keeping people healthy—not just treating illness. By increasing accountability, encouraging healthy lifestyles, and helping more Ohioans enter the workforce, we can improve health outcomes while lowering costs for families and taxpayers.

Property taxes
Property taxes have risen dramatically in recent years, putting many homeowners—especially seniors on fixed incomes—under increasing financial pressure. No Ohioan should be forced out of their home because of rising property taxes.

Public safety
Public safety is the government’s most fundamental responsibility. Every Ohioan deserves to feel safe in their home, at work, and in their community. That means supporting law enforcement, holding violent offenders accountable, and addressing the underlying issues that contribute to crime.

Why they are running
I’ve seen too many young people leave our community to build their future someplace else. I’m running to change that, to make Northeast Ohio a place where you can start your career, raise your family, and build your future, right here at home.
