Where they stand
Data centers
There are over 200 data centers in Ohio, making Ohio fifth in the nation in total data centers. Data centers impart a terrible environmental toll.

School choice
School vouchers are decimating public education in Ohio. Each year, over 1 billion dollars is stolen from public school children to pay for the children of wealthy families to attend private schools.
Source: strongwithscott.com
Taxes
Ohio currently has a 2.75% flat tax rate on income over $26,050. This means that a worker making $30,000 pays the same effective tax rate as an individual making $10,000,000 per year.

Why they are running
Scott is running to make Ohio’s public schools stronger, to implement stronger protection of Ohio’s natural resources, and to enact strong working class economic policies.

Workers and wages
I will introduce legislation to raise the minimum wage to $20/ hour and tie that number to inflation.
