Where they stand
Agriculture
I grew up on a farm, I know what it costs - not just in dollars, but in early mornings, in years, and in the quiet worry that follows a farmer through every season.
Source: Issues - Citizens for Hornbacker
Government ethics
We restore public trust by putting people over politics - closing corporate tax loopholes, keeping tax dollars in our communities, demanding absolute transparency in every deal made with Ohio's money, and making sure no backroom agreement ever shields a corporation from the accountability it owes to District 40.

Health care
Ohio is facing more than $5 billion in projected Medicaid losses over the next decade.

Jobs and the economy
Our communities are ready to grow. Columbus needs to catch up.

Property taxes
District 40 homeowners, families, farmers, and seniors are being squeezed by rising property taxes, and I won't pretend otherwise.

School choice
Right now, over a billion dollars a year in voucher money is leaving our communities while public schools face a funding crisis not seen since the Great Recession.

Why they are running
Zoning is a critical mission concerning quality of life for all Ohioans. Data Centers, High Tension lines, factory farms: each of these physical developments has an outsized effect on their immediate neighbors.
