My name is Andrey J. Martinichin and I am a registered nurse - my parents are Ukrainian immigrants that came to Cleveland back in the 90's and now own their small business 'Civilization" in Tremont. I went to High School in Cleveland to St. Ignatius and that is where I learned many values of giving back to the community and being a man for others. From there I went on to community college to become a nurse and have been serving my community ever since. I never wanted to get into politics as my dream job was to be a pilot. Seeing the way our country is ran - has made me rethink what I want to do in life. I was always taught to stand up for those who are not able to stand up for themselves. In our country, politicians have been looking out for their own self interest and not the interest of their constituents. As a nurse I have advocated for my patients, and now I want to advocate for all Ohio's in Congress. Nursing has always been the worlds most trusted profession - its time we put a nurse in congress and put honesty and constituent advocacy back in Washington.
  • Healthcare policy is fundamental for public health and prevention. It guides initiatives for disease prevention, health promotion, emergency preparedness, and addressing health disparities. By investing in public health, policies can prevent outbreaks, improve overall societal health, and reduce the long-term burden on the healthcare system. In essence, it's the framework that ensures health is not a privilege, but an attainable state for all. As a nurse I will lead the charge to ensure all American's have access to affordable healthcare. I'd leverage direct patient experience and evidence-based practice to advocate for policy changes.
  • To tackle the broader cost of living, policies supporting robust wage growth are essential. This includes reviewing and potentially increasing the minimum wage, strengthening collective bargaining rights, and investing in education and skills training to boost productivity. Furthermore, reducing the burden of essential services is critical. Expanding access to affordable healthcare through universal coverage or significant subsidies, investing in quality public education, and providing accessible, affordable childcare can free up substantial household income. No single policy is a silver bullet; a comprehensive strategy combining many policy changes offers the best path toward a more affordable nation.
  • Education reform should be one of the forefront agenda's for our nation. Reform efforts should prioritize updating curricula to move beyond rote memorization, focusing instead on critical thinking, problem-solving, digital literacy, creativity, and socio-emotional learning. This involves integrating interdisciplinary approaches, project-based learning, and real-world applications to better prepare students for future careers and active citizenship in a rapidly evolving global landscape. Investing in teachers is paramount. Policies should aim to attract and retain top talent through competitive salaries, robust benefits, and supportive working conditions.
Healthcare reform - pushing for a dual system where citizens have a choice between private healthcare or a "medicare for all scheme."

Tackling affordability through investments (education, healthcare, infrastructure) fostering market competition, investing in education and ensuring that our citizens have access to gaining certifications and other useful degrees, thereby empowering our constituents.

Investing in education - increasing teachers salaries, creating a stronger public school system, investing more in underserved areas and increasing access to in demand labor certifications.
