|I am committed to making government work respectfully, effectively and efficiently to improve the quality of life for its citizens through compromise and consensus. Government ensures that the core components of a civilized society are maintained and delivered; I take the responsibility to manage that
effort seriously.- My knowledge and experience gained at many levels of government will help me be a better representative.
- My record demonstrates that I work across the aisle in achieving compromise and consensus respectfully.
- My experience in budgetary and taxation issues is vital as we recover fiscally from the pandemic.
Taxation policy review, modernization and reform - particularly in the property tax area.
Protecting the health of Lake Erie and its feeder watersheds.
A concern about the state and condition of our underground environmental infrastructure; our water and our sewer lines are aging and we can't keep kicking replacement down the road and imperiling the health
of our citizens.
Ohio is near last in what we spend to address abused and neglected children. We need to commit more
to protect this most vulnerable segment of our population.
FDR, because of his willingness and courage to take bold action to try and pull the nation out of the
Depression. I try to follow that example of decisive action in tough times.
JFK, because he brought a fresh spirit of youthfulness and vision (e.g. the Space Program) to a nation a bit in the doldrums. His wit and humor were great tools at breaking tension; I'm a firm believer that levity and a sense of humor help reach common ground and consensus.

Scorecards
A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.
Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
