Jonathan is a local pastor and advocate who’s running for State Representative in Ohio’s 29th District. He is the kind of person whose calling to serve started early. When he was just 13, he earned a Presidential Volunteer Service Award.

That sense of service has been the through line of his whole life. Jonathan has always stood up for human dignity and has never been afraid to hold the powerful accountable. He’s working to build a grassroots movement that refuses to pit neighbor against neighbor, one that unites Ohioans around the shared values of dignity, fairness, and real opportunity.

Jonathan isn’t interested in political theater. He’s focused on the issues that actually affect people’s lives: good jobs with fair wages, strong and fully funded public schools, fair taxation, access to affordable healthcare, and true affordable housing.

If you talk to him, you’ll see right away that he’s not in this for the spotlight. He’s in it because he genuinely believes Ohio can do better—and that working together, we will.
