Campaign website
O’Connor’s campaign website stated the following:
| “ |
Expanding Health Care Coverage Health care is of paramount importance to Danny, especially as the son of a breast cancer survivor. In Congress, Danny will fight to protect access to quality health care. Danny will fight to expand access to health care so that no family has to decide between going bankrupt and getting the care they need. Creating Economic Opportunity and Jobs We need to create economic opportunity for Central Ohio and work together to find common ground. Ensuring that Central Ohioans have the skills they need to get a good-paying job. Finding Common Ground Danny is committed to ending the partisan gridlock in Washington. In Congress, he will work with both sides to bring new economic opportunities to families and working people in Central Ohio. Combating Climate Change America’s leading scientists are clear: climate change is leading to extreme weather and devastating storms that must be addressed. This is an opportunity for the U.S. to lead the world and create new jobs in clean and renewable energy. Improving Our Education System Danny will be a consistent and vocal advocate for a strong public education system. The challenges of the 21st century require our country to train the next generation for the global economy and an emphasis on math and science is vital to ensure our competitiveness in the world. Young people need more skills than ever to get good jobs, but too many are being crushed by debt. Danny supports increased financial aid and making community colleges and trade schools accessible to everyone. Safeguarding Our Voting Rights Numerous federal laws have been proposed that will ensure that all Americans are able to exercise their right to vote. Laws ranging from the Automatic Voter Registration Act to the Voting Rights Advancement Act are laws that I would co-sponsor as a member of Congress. Danny will stand up for every Ohioan’s right to vote, fighting efforts to purge voter rolls and protecting early voting. Protecting Medicare and Social Security Ohio seniors have earned their Medicare and Social Security benefits over a lifetime of work. Danny will stand up to any efforts to privatize Social Security and voucherize Medicare that would threaten Ohioan’s retirement security.[2] |
