| Collapse all
- When the GOP-led Ohio Redistricting Commission produced grossly gerrymandered maps, I sued them in the Supreme Court of Ohio, and I won. There is no room for party loyalty when it comes to redistricting and fair elections. The people should pick their representatives not the other way around. The redrawing of our districts will affect our minimum wage, how much we pay at the pump, taxes, and what are our kids are taught at school. Enough is enough of party politics shaping our elections. Once elected, I plan to not only push back the Republican attacks on voting rights, I plan to be proactive by sponsoring a Same Day Voter Registration bill.
- If we want The Mahoning Valley to be ready for the jobs of the future, we must prepare now. We can start by educating high school students and college graduates about the opportunities that exist and by introducing on-the-job coaching, training, and development to fortify our workforce as we go. TechCred helps Ohioans learn new skills and strengthened our workforce in the tech industry. This training takes less than a year to complete and will prepare current and future employees for this industry. Together we will fight to pass the Ohio Fairness Act to ensure that no Ohioan is open to discrimination in the workplace. Our residents need an opportunity to earn a livable wage and to feel safe and protected while doing so.
- Republicans at the Statehouse continue to build roadblocks to the energy of the future. It’s time to take advantage of this opportunity and invest in clean alternatives to fossil fuels. Installing and servicing solar arrays and turbine farms could be a leading industry in our state, which is prime for over $80 billion of renewable energy investment. We need to fund our high schools and technical schools to provide the training that our future generations need to land these high paying jobs. I will work with our high schools and colleges to get our next generation ready for careers in clean energy.
Safety and accessibility are linked and we need one to have the other. It’s time for the state to step in and fill this void. Our sidewalks should be moved to be in the public domain so that sidewalks are treated with equal importance to roads. Our sidewalks are a critical piece of infrastructure that are too often overlooked when it comes to repairs and maintenance.
Once elected, I will begin support legislation and research into our sidewalk system so the dollars that fix our roads are the dollars that fix our sidewalks. Thousands of Trumbull County residents experience food insecurity especially those who live in minority communities and rural areas. Children, older adults, and residents with disabilities are particularly vulnerable.
