Priorities

1

End public corruption in Ohio.

Ohio deserves better leaders. From the First Energy HB6 scandal to giving $600M to a billionaire in the most recent state budget, Ohio has been mismanaged by politicians in our state government for too long. We deserve someone who will fight for us, not for energy companies or billionaire's special interests. 

2

Combat the cost of living crisis.

Ohioans face some of the highest property tax rates in the country. As our home values rise, our seniors are priced out of their homes by property taxes while our young people are priced out of the market. Electricity and water prices are rising at historic rates across our state. The cost of basic necessities, food, housing, utilities have all risen past wage growth while the legislature has done nothing to help out every day Ohioans. In the statehouse, I will work across the aisle to bring meaningful relief to Ohio's rising cost of living.

3

Ensure access to strong public schools for all Ohioans.

Ohio owes its youth a quality public education system that provides opportunity to every child and prepares our next generation to tackle the problems of our time. The current state legislature has chosen to fund school vouchers for religious, private, and charter schools instead of funding our public schools. Access to a quality public education should be a basic right of every Ohioan. I will work tirelessly to promote and defend quality, well funded, public schools in Ohio through returning to the Fair School Funding Plan.

Stop data centers coming into our community & Establish regulations around data center construction

Our legislators gave over $1.4 Billion dollars in tax breaks for data centers in 2026 alone. Meanwhile these data centers have been causing energy prices to skyrocket in Ohio directly hurting us and our neighbors. We need legislators who will push back against these data centers, stop them from passing their electricity costs on to us and stop them from ruining our communities and farms. The conversation should not begin at "What can my city do for the data center", the conversation should be "What can the data center do for my city?". My opponent has voted to help data centers at every opportunity in his time in the statehouse. I'm asking you to elect me so together we can put a stop to this.
