our Priorities

From groceries to gas to healthcare, a good middle class life is out of reach for too many of us in Ohio. Taking steps to control costs, like Medicaid expansion and other existing programs, will make everyday expenses more manageable and build Ohio’s economy.

The Ohio constitution requires full funding of our state’s public school districts, but each biannual budget fails to meet these requirements. Funding our schools is not only the right thing to do for Ohio’s students, but would remove the burden on taxpayers caused by levies.

Because of inaction by the Supermajority in Columbus, property taxes have gotten out of control, with constant levies and increases making it hard for Ohioans to stay in our homes. By fully funding our schools, and restoring balance to Ohio’s budget, we can fix this crisis once and for all.

Another impact we feel every day is the shifting of money away from our local governments in the state budget. This means that communities must pass additional levies to pay for firehouses, roads, public safety and more. Restoring the budget to fully fund our local municipal needs will make our communities safer.

One of the best ways we can build a stronger future for our state is to bring our neighbors together. By showing up every day, listening and acting on what we hear, and fighting for each other, we can restore faith in local government and politics.
