Education
A Fair and Modern Way to Fund Ohio’s Schools
For nearly 30 years, Ohio’s school funding system has been ruled unconstitutional — and the reason is simple: we rely too heavily on local property taxes. That means children in wealthier districts get more resources, while families in working-class and rural areas struggle to fund even the basics. It’s time to fix that — not with another temporary patch, but with real reform that makes education funding fair, efficient, and sustainable.
My plan would fund all essential classroom needs — teachers, transportation, special education, and safe learning environments — through the state income tax, ensuring every student in Ohio receives a quality education regardless of their ZIP code. Local property taxes would then cover only extra or elective programs — such as athletic facilities, advanced arts programs, or other enhancements a community chooses to support. This approach keeps the essentials equal while letting each community decide how much extra they want to invest.
By shifting the burden away from property taxes and toward a fair, statewide system, we can provide real relief for homeowners, stabilize school budgets, and finally meet the Ohio Constitution’s promise of a “thorough and efficient system of common schools.” Every child deserves a fair start — and every family deserves a fair deal.
WORKERS RIGHT
Ohio’s working men and women deserve a fair deal — one built on respect, safety, and the freedom to negotiate for better wages and benefits. I believe workers deserve fair pay for honest work, safe conditions on the job, and the freedom to organize without fear or retaliation. I will fight to protect and strengthen workers’ rights because strong workers create strong communities and a strong economy.
As your representative, I will work to ensure teachers, firefighters, police officers, and public employees retain the ability to negotiate for the benefits they’ve earned. But I won’t stop there — I’ll partner with unions and professional associations across the state to modernize labor laws, strengthen apprenticeship programs, and expand enforcement against wage theft and unsafe working conditions. Together, we can ensure that Ohio remains a state where hard work is valued, and every worker — public or private — has a voice in shaping their future.
Real progress happens when we bring people together — not when we pit workers against one another. That’s why I’ll fight for a Workers’ Bill of Rights that guarantees the freedom to organize, the right to fair pay, and the security of a dignified retirement. Because when we protect the people who build, teach, serve, and protect our communities, we strengthen Ohio for everyone.
PROTECTING THE MOST VULNERABLE
A society is judged not by how it treats the powerful, but by how it treats the most vulnerable. That includes our children, our seniors, our veterans, and every person who falls through the cracks of a system that’s supposed to serve them. Too often, politicians talk about “efficiency” while cutting the very programs that keep people alive — healthcare for the sick, food support for struggling families, and therapy or housing for those battling trauma. We cannot — and will not — sell out the people who need us most.
As your representative, I’ll fight to ensure that no Ohioan is left behind. That starts with protecting and strengthening Medicaid expansion, which provides healthcare to over three million Ohioans, including low-income workers, children, and people with disabilities. It means increasing funding for mental health services so that treatment and recovery are accessible in every community, not just in major cities. I’ll support state-backed homelessness prevention programs that focus on stability, housing first initiatives, and wraparound support for families on the brink. And I’ll work to expand veterans’ services and peer-support programs — ensuring that those who served our country have access to mental health care, career transition programs, and the dignity of stable housing.
We’re only as strong as the community we build together. When we care for those struggling to get by — whether they’re a single parent, a child with special needs, or a veteran finding his way home — we build a state rooted in compassion and fairness. That’s the Ohio I believe in: one where we don’t look away, we step up — because every person matters, and every life has value.
DEFENDING OUR RIGHTS
Our rights are not negotiable. They were written into the Constitution to protect every American — not to be traded away by politicians or undermined through executive power. Yet today, too many of our leaders have forgotten that they work for the people. From due process and privacy to free speech and fair representation, the most basic liberties that define who we are as a nation are under attack.
Recent actions — from attempts to restrict birthright citizenship and expand government surveillance, to laws like House Bill 512 that strip away workers’ rights — show a growing pattern of disregard for the Constitution. These aren’t isolated events; they’re part of a larger effort to centralize power, weaken accountability, and silence dissent. When leaders use their office to erode rights instead of defending them, they fail the people they swore to serve.
As your representative, I’ll fight to restore checks and balances, defend free speech and due process, and ensure that no law — state or federal — puts government above the people. I will work alongside community leaders, constitutional scholars, and everyday Ohioans to hold the line against corruption and overreach. Because our rights aren’t partisan — they’re American. And if we don’t stand up for them now, we may not get another chance.
A well-informed citizenry is the best defense against tyranny. – Thomas Jefferson
