Where they stand
Cost of living
A job should provide the opportunity to build a good life. But when housing, utilities, childcare, groceries, healthcare, and other necessities keep getting more expensive, even families doing everything right can struggle to get ahead.

Education
Schools are the heart of our towns and our family lives. Their benefit goes far beyond students sitting in classrooms today. They strengthen neighborhoods, prepare our future workforce, attract employers, support property values, and create opportunities that can change a person’s life trajectory.

Health care
Where you live, what you earn, or what kind of job you have shouldn’t determine whether you can see a doctor or afford the medicine you need.

Local government
Ohio’s small towns and townships should be able to welcome new investment without putting their taxpayers or their future at risk.

Property taxes
For too many Ohioans, rising property taxes are making it harder to afford the homes and communities they’ve invested in for years.

Why they are running
