My top priorities center on cultivating a vibrant and inclusive community within our district. Key focus areas include propelling economic development to generate quality jobs, enabling strategic investments in rural communities, and enhancing their infrastructure.

Achieving these goals necessitates collaborative efforts between the public and private sectors. My strategy involves prioritizing economic growth by attracting industries, supporting the establishment of small businesses, and providing grants for research and implementation of rural infrastructure. By forging strong partnerships, we can propel our region forward, creating a resilient and prosperous future for all
Ensuring a robust democratic process is foundational to my public service commitment. Expanding access, strengthening election security, and countering voter suppression are vital for safeguarding our election systems. I strongly support measures like early voting, vote-by-mail, and convenient polling locations for a more inclusive democracy. The integrity of our elections is paramount, and we must ensure the modernizing of voting systems as well as conducting regular audits. I oppose voter suppression and am committed to legislation that counters tactics, ensuring equal ballot access for all citizens.
Facilitating economic growth and job opportunities in Ohio necessitates a collaborative approach involving governmental and private entities. I advocate for the implementation of policies that attract diverse industries and forging partnerships with economic development agencies. Support for small businesses through tax incentives, grants, and mentorship programs is a key focus to stimulate local entrepreneurship. Collaborating with educational institutions and industry leaders, I aim to design strategic workforce development programs aligned with evolving industry demands. Prioritizing infrastructure projects, securing funding for transportation networks, and broadband access will augment Ohio's attractiveness for businesses.
