Empowering homeowners and lowering the cost of living for every Ohioan.
Real Estate Tax Reform: Implement property tax caps based on original purchase value rather than over-inflated, speculative market appraisals.
HOA Accountability: Establish clear statewide regulations for Homeowners Associations to protect property rights and prevent predatory fee structures.
Lowering Grocery Costs: Repeal the Commercial Activity Tax (CAT) for grocers to lower the “hidden tax” on every family’s food budget.
Fair EV Registration: Eliminate excessive registration fees for electric vehicles to ensure we aren’t punishing Ohioans for choosing modern technology.
Corporate Infrastructure Responsibility: Require data centers and large corporations to pay their fair share for the utility and road infrastructure they use, ensuring these costs don’t fall on local taxpayers.
Restoring faith in our democracy through transparency and equal access.
Respecting the Will of Voters: Ensure that citizen-led ballot initiatives are protected and that the results of our elections are honored without legislative interference.
Information Transparency: Modernize access to government data, including real-time voter feedback loops and accessible digital archives of politician communications. Rollback the provision snuck into the budget that allows lawmakers to conceal their communications. Impose rules that all lobbying interactions must be publicly disclosed with date and subject of discussion no more than 48 hours after the interaction.
- The One Subject Rule: Strengthen the enforcement of the one subject rule to prevent legislators from sneaking in legislation and log rolling their bills.
Leveling the Playing Field: Promote equal participation in candidacy, ensuring that independent and third-party candidates have a fair path to the ballot alongside major parties.
- Ranked Choice Voting: Ranked choice voting will give Ohioans a broader choice of candidates and a more robust choice for their democratic decisions. RCV eliminates wasted votes, reduces negative campaigning, and eliminates the current status quo of having to choose The lesser of two evils.
Protecting autonomy, equality, and the economic future of Ohio women.
Reproductive Freedom: Firmly uphold the principle that medical decisions are private and belong solely to a woman and her doctor.
Ohio Equality of Rights Amendment: Champion the “Ohio Equality of Rights Under the Law Amendment” to permanently cement equal rights regardless of sex into our state constitution.
Childcare as an Economic Right: Expand access to affordable, high-quality childcare as a fundamental pillar of a stable economy.
Paid Maternity Leave: Establish a statewide standard for paid maternity leave so mothers never have to choose between their newborn and their paycheck.
Navigating the future with sensible, ethical guardrails.
Integrity in Campaigns: Ban or strictly regulate the use of AI-generated content in political advertising to prevent the spread of misinformation.
Deep Fake Protections: Implement common-sense regulations on “deep fakes” and require clear AI disclosures on social media platforms to protect public discourse.
First and foremost, Cannabis should be deregulated. However, while that fight continues we must have a safe and fair cannabis market in Ohio.
Building a fair, safe, and regulated market.
Federal Advocacy: Push for federal deregulation to resolve the conflict between state and federal law.
Equal Market Access: Ensure the Ohio cannabis market is accessible to local entrepreneurs and small businesses, not just out-of-state monopolies. License fee waivers for disadvantaged Ohioans trying to compete in the market.
Intoxicating Hemp Regulation: Establish sensible safety and age-gating standards for intoxicating hemp products to protect consumers and children.
- Ensure safe, responsible home cultivation by allowing homegrowers access to licensed testing facilities, so individuals can verify product quality, potency, and safety just like commercial operators.
- Create a regulated pathway for homegrowers to sell excess biomass to licensed processors, reducing waste, supporting Ohio’s legal cannabis economy, and keeping transactions within a transparent, accountable system.
Honoring the service of those who protected us.
Mental Health Access: Streamline and expand access to comprehensive mental health support for veterans, ensuring no one is left behind after their service ends.
- Mail In Ballot Access: ensure mail in ballots remain an accessible avenue for our veterans and active military. They are fighting or have fought for our democracy, and we need to ensure that they have fair and equal access to our democratic process.
Protecting the people who keep Ohio running.
Cannabis Patient Protections: Enact workplace protections for medical cannabis patients to ensure no Ohioan is fired for legal, off-the-clock usage that does not affect job performance.
A Livable Minimum Wage: Support a responsible path to a $15 minimum wage that keeps pace with inflation, ensuring that a full-time job in Ohio provides enough to cover the basic cost of living.
Fair Pay Transparency: Require employers to include salary ranges in job postings. This empowers Ohio workers to negotiate fairly and helps close the wage gap for women and minorities.
Predictable Scheduling: Protect hourly workers from “just-in-time” scheduling. Workers deserve advanced notice of their shifts so they can arrange for childcare, transportation, and a stable life outside of work.
Ending Non-Compete Abuse: Ban the use of non-compete clauses for low-to-mid-wage workers. Ohioans should have the freedom to take their skills to a better-paying job without legal threats from former employers.
Workplace Privacy & AI: Establish “Right to Know” laws regarding AI surveillance in the workplace. Employers should be transparent about how algorithmic tools are used for monitoring, hiring, or performance reviews.
Protecting the Right to Organize: Oppose “Right-to-Work” legislation that undermines the ability of unions to negotiate for safer conditions and better pay. We must protect the collective bargaining rights that built Ohio’s middle class.
Putting Ohio citizens before special interests.
Refusing Corporate PAC Money: To ensure I answer only to the people of Ohio, I pledge to reject all corporate PAC contributions.
Closing Tax Loopholes: End the practice of multibillion-dollar corporations using complex loopholes to avoid taxes while small businesses pay their full share.
- Corporate Infrastructure Responsibility: Require data centers and large corporations to pay their fair share for the utility and road infrastructure they use, ensuring these costs don’t fall on local taxpayers.
“Clawback” Provisions for Tax Breaks: If a corporation receives state tax incentives to bring jobs to Ohio but fails to meet those hiring goals or moves the jobs out of state, they must pay that money back to the taxpayers.
Closing Multistate Tax Loopholes: End the practice of “combined reporting” loopholes that allow multibillion-dollar corporations to shift their Ohio-earned profits to offshore or out-of-state tax havens.
Anti-Monopoly Protections for Small Business: Strengthen state-level antitrust oversight to prevent massive corporations from using predatory pricing or exclusive dealing to put local, family-owned Ohio businesses out of operation.
Infrastructure Impact Fees: Large-scale developments—such as massive data centers—should be required to pay “Impact Fees” that go directly toward the local schools, roads, and emergency services they will strain, rather than leaving the bill for local homeowners.
Protecting Small Farmers: Support “Right to Repair” legislation so Ohio’s farmers and small business owners can repair their own equipment without being forced to pay exorbitant fees to corporate manufacturers.
Uplifting Ohioans and ensuring our state’s prosperity is built by us, and for us.
The “Homegrown” Initiative: I propose creating a Main Street Fund—fueled by a portion of state tax revenue from new industries—specifically to provide low-interest capital and technical resources to Ohio entrepreneurs in zip codes historically sidelined by political neglect and corporate greed.
Corporate Social Responsibility: We must hold large corporations accountable. Any company receiving state tax breaks should be required to meet a Social Responsibility Standard, proving they are hiring locally, providing livable wages, and investing in the infrastructure of the communities they inhabit.
The “Opportunity Grant” Program: Education is only the first step. I will champion grants that cover the “hidden costs” of advancement—such as transportation, professional equipment, and childcare—ensuring that hardworking Ohioans have the actual tools they need to complete their training and enter the workforce.
Ohio-First Prosperity: We will prioritize Ohio-based small businesses and local labor for state contracts. My platform ensures that state spending supports our neighbors, not out-of-state interests looking to profit off our struggle.
Vocational & Skills Training: We must expand state-funded apprenticeship programs in high-growth sectors like tech and clean energy, specifically targeting economically distressed rural and urban areas to ensure no part of Ohio is left behind.
Restorative Market Access: As new industries like legal cannabis and tech hubs emerge, we must ensure licensing and ownership opportunities are prioritized for Ohio residents, preventing out-of-state monopolies from extracting wealth from our local economies.
