Issue Position

For most Ohioans, ensuring economic stability is at the top of their concerns. I believe the government has a responsibility to ensure that our citizens can have the opportunity to achieve that stability they strive for.

I support a fair tax policy that does not provide tax cuts for the wealthiest Ohioans at the expense of our working class.
I believe in equal pay for equal work, regardless of gender or race.
I oppose so-called "right to work" legislation and that hurts labor unions and will
always advocate for collective bargaining rights for public and private workers.
I support fair wages and increases to Ohio's minimum wage. The minimum wage has not risen to meet the rates of inflation and is simply too low to support our
working families.
Job creation for Ohioans will prosper only if we create and maintain an educated workforce, improve infrastructure and transportation and increase technology access for our residents.
I support fostering economic development by eliminating unnecessary red-tape for startups and creating incentives for businesses that directly address pressing needs of Ohioans.
I believe Ohio needs to restore the Local Government Fund to keep local governments solvent and making permanent the existing tax revenues that fund public schools set to expire within the next year.
