Get StartedThe transportation systems of Northwest Ohio allow the safe movement of people and goods by land, sea and air. I encourage Federal and State cooperation in all these enterprises. We must continue to upgrade our critical, but all too often neglected, infrastructure in all modes of transportation. Learn more
Private enterprise has over time been proven the best economic system in history. Let us ensure that it will serve all Ohioans. As a result of COVID-19, small businesses are especially vulnerable to failure. I support legislation that will encourage small business success. I will oppose where government over-reach appears to stifle private enterprise. Regulations exist to assure public safety, but they are always subject to legislative scrutiny. Learn more
Public Education has facilitated the growth and expansion of the American Middle Class. Let us work to protect and expand that opportunity. We must continue to fund our public schools, while also recognizing the right of individuals to opt for other educational opportunities. The goal of education must be to educate all our young people equally. We must not allow the goal of education to be the enrichment of the individuals who operate private schools. Private schools who use public funds to educate their students must be held to the same standards and scrutiny that public schools must adhere to. Learn more
Here in Northwest Ohio, we are gifted with abundant fresh water and fertile soil. Protection of our environment is the responsibility of all citizens. Federal Laws are already in place, and those laws, along with State Regulations must be enforced. We need to continue building a reliable, diverse energy portfolio for the State of Ohio. This must include Nuclear Energy, which is carbon-free, and encourage the development of renewable energy sources (wind, solar, and hydro-electric). Ohio needs to pursue environmentally friendly sources of energy. Learn more
As the wealthiest and most enlightened nation on earth, we must provide the opportunity for affordable health care for all. I support the expansion of Medicare as a goal which must be achieved by cooperation with both State and Federal Law. The cost of healthcare is too often prohibitive; medical care must be available for all citizens, no matter their age or income. Learn more
Workers in Ohio have the legal protection to advocate for better wages and safer working conditions. I am committed to the protection of workers’ rights in the state of Ohio. Expansion of those rights must include a living wage AND equal pay for equal work [for both men and women]. These rights must be not just encouraged, but must be encoded into law and enforced in fact. Learn more
