What type of tax reform, if any, would best serve Ohio?

How would you address concerns about the rising cost of living?

What are your priorities for K-12 and higher education?

How would you reduce hyperpartisanship and promote civility?

I believe mail in voting and ballots are a risk for loss of the vote, extra expense, and potential fraud. Limits on early mail in ballots must be addressed. I fully believe in photo ID to vote.
Tax Reform where the government gets less money must be the priority. Our efforts last year lowered the costs to taxpayers, made governments receive less, and gave the voters control over their property tax bill instead of automatic, unvoted windfalls of tax dollars.
Ohio investing in energy production and increasing the supply of energy helps to lower all costs. That was one of the first bills passed in this current General Assembly with more to do.
We have to rein in the spending and costs these systems are placing on the taxpayer. Duplicity, regulation, and spending have to be lowered.
I do this through my actions. I have several bills with Democrat Joint or Cosponsors, every bill I have passed has been bipartisan, and I take ideas from all political leanings to make policy better.
