Where they stand
Jobs and the economy
Thirty years in business taught Rob what actually helps families get ahead: lower barriers, fewer mandates, and policy that rewards work — not red tape that punishes it.

Property taxes
Ohio families and seniors are being taxed out of homes they've owned for decades. Rob will push for real, practical reform that brings relief to homeowners — not more studies and excuses.

Public safety
Strong communities start with safe streets and supported law enforcement. Rob will back the resources, accountability, and common-sense policy our first responders need to keep District 23 safe.

Why they are running
Government isn't working the way it should. I don't think either party has all the answers — and I'm running because government should work for the people it serves, not for politicians or special interests.
