Issue Position

We must also stand up for the children and families who need us most. As a commissioner, Ginny collaborated with local leaders to open the Harmony House, a children's advocacy center that promotes a holistic approach to combatting child abuse in our community. As State Representative, she will continue to fight for our children and our families.

Ginny's proud to call Eastern Ohio home and wants to encourage more families to move to our region.

"It's been a blessing to raise my two children in Eastern Ohio. The value we place on strong families makes our region such a desirable place to live and work. I want to ensure that Eastern Ohioans, for generations to come, have the opportunity to raise our families in a place where all of our children can receive a quality education, find good paying jobs and buy a decent home." -Ginny Favede

Ginny understands that solid communities matched with good-paying jobs create strong families. Therefore, she will focus on protecting workers' overtime wages and benefits so moms and dads can put food on the table and a roof over their kids' heads. Ginny will work to make college more affordable and ensure vocational schools are better funded so that every child can chase their dreams and become productive members of society. And she will fight for seniors by standing up for workers' pensions and striving to protect Social Security and Medicare because everyone deserves the ability to retire without having to spend their final years living in poverty.
