Born out of a belief that policy should work for the people it serves, Charity’s professional journey spans education, workforce development, nonprofit leadership, social enterprise, and civic engagement. She has managed complex budgets, overseen multi-site operations, built cross-sector partnerships, and delivered measurable outcomes across local, state, and federally funded initiatives. Her work has consistently focused on addressing the real-life challenges facing Ohio communities: access to education, workforce readiness, economic opportunity, public safety, and youth development. Policy priorities are informed by experience, not ideology: • Workforce & Economic Opportunity: Aligning education with careers, and strengthening pathways to stable employment. • Family Stability: Investing in prevention, mentorship, and community-based strategy that reduce violence and increase opportunity.
• Responsible Governance: Managing taxpayer dollars with care- Housing Innovation: reimagining commercial and co-operative housing solutions through repurposing, environmental responsibility, and private and public interest.
- Energy & Sustainability: Clean energy, connecting urban and rural food growers, responsible and balanced energy costs
- Fair Wages & Worker Protection: Increased minimum wage, bargaining and protection.
