I support adopting ranked choice voting (RCV) in Ohio because it gives people a stronger voice and leads to more accurate representation. Too many voters feel pressured to choose the “lesser of two evils,” and third party candidates are often dismissed as “spoilers.” That’s not how a healthy democracy should function. Ranked choice voting would allow Ohioans to vote their values without fear of wasting their vote. It reduces the power of the political duopoly, which too often prioritizes holding onto POWER instead of serving the PEOPLE. By giving voters more choice and ensuring winners have broader support, we can create elections that are fair, competitive, and reflective of what Ohioans actually want.
Ohio needs tax reform that puts people first. Taxation should be limited, transparent, and accountable. While eliminating taxes is my long term goal, we must do so in a prudent manner, starting with reducing the overall tax burden on individuals. I recognize the state must still fund essential services required by the Ohio Constitution. I would start with ending corporate tax abatements that unfairly shift costs onto residents. We must also cut wasteful and fraudulent spending so taxpayer dollars are used responsibly. We have a rich tradition of innovation, we can fund public services without taxing Ohioans. My priority is real tax relief for individuals so Ohioans keep more of their hard earned money.
The rising cost of living is putting real pressure on Ohio families and meaningful tax reform is one of the most effective ways to provide relief. When the government takes less; Ohioans keep more of what they earn and have greater flexibility to meet their own needs. I’ve seen how our communities come together in times of crisis and I believe we can bring that same energy to long term solutions. Addressing affordability will require a collective effort and fresh ideas. I want to hear directly from Ohioans about what’s working, what isn’t and where the government is getting in the way. By reducing unnecessary burdens and encouraging community driven problem solving, we can make Ohio a place where families can thrive without being harmed by rising costs.
I believe families know best how to educate their children and Ohio’s policies should reflect that. I support public schools; BUT I also respect families who choose charter, nonpublic, or home education. Returning to the Fair School Funding Plan would create a more balanced and transparent way to fund all learning paths. Ohio should also end the mandate requiring districts to transport students who don’t attend their schools. We need language and policies focused on equitable access, and it’s time to consider amending Ohio's Constitution public education funding mandate so we can pursue innovative, less burdensome ways to support education.
Hyperpartisanship weakens our ability to solve problems. I believe voters should choose leaders who reflect their values, not just their party. Ranked choice voting helps reduce polarization by encouraging collaboration and broader representation. We won’t agree on everything; BUT we can almost always find at least one area of common ground. Aggressive tactics and personal attacks only deepen the “us vs. them” divide. We need a culture where disagreements are voiced respectfully and solutions are built together.

I believe Ohio’s elections should be secure, transparent, and accessible. That means maintaining strong safeguards that protect the integrity of every ballot while also ensuring that eligible voters can participate without unnecessary barriers. I support clear, uniform rules across counties, modernized election systems, and improved training and resources for poll workers. I also believe in making the process more efficient—such as reducing long wait times, improving early voting logistics, and ensuring military and overseas voters have reliable access. The goal is simple: every eligible Ohioan should have confidence that their vote counts and that the system is fair.
A clear, resident‑focused way forward:
Ohio families deserve a tax system that is simple, predictable, and aligned with the real cost of living. I support reforms that reduce the burden on working families and seniors—especially property‑tax relief for homeowners whose assessments have risen faster than their wages. I also believe Ohio should pursue a tax structure that rewards work, encourages small‑business growth, and keeps more money in the pockets of the people who earn it. Any tax reform should be transparent, fiscally responsible, and designed to strengthen local services like schools, EMS, police, and fire without placing disproportionate pressure on homeowners.
A strong, practical response:
The cost of living is squeezing families across Ohio, and addressing it requires a comprehensive approach. I support policies that expand affordable housing options, reduce property‑tax pressure, and increase access to childcare and healthcare. Strengthening workforce development—especially for high‑demand fields like healthcare, public safety, trades, and technology—helps raise wages and create upward mobility. I also believe in improving transportation infrastructure and supporting small businesses, which keeps local economies strong and reduces everyday costs for families. The goal is to make Ohio a place where people can build a stable life, raise a family, and retire with dignity.
A balanced, student‑centered position:
My priority is ensuring that every student—regardless of ZIP code—has access to a high‑quality education that prepares them for real‑world success. For K‑12, that means strong support for teachers, safe schools, modern curriculum options, and pathways that include college, trades, and career‑technical education. For higher education, affordability and workforce alignment are key. Students should not be buried in debt to pursue a degree or credential. I support partnerships between schools, employers, and training programs to ensure Ohio’s students are prepared for the jobs of today and tomorrow.
Civility starts with leadership. I believe in listening first, respecting differences, and focusing on solutions instead of scoring political points. I will work with anyone—Republican, Democrat, or Independent—who is committed to improving the lives of Ohio families. That means bringing people to the table, being transparent about decisions, and treating every resident with dignity. Hyperpartisanship fades when leaders model humility, honesty, and a willingness to collaborate. My approach is simple: put people before politics and results before rhetoric.
