Expand all | Collapse all

I am a community advocate for both patient care and also LGBTQ+ rights. I am a junior at Purdue Fort Wayne where I am majoring in political science with a minor in psychology. I have lived in the 78th pretty much my entire life.
  • Cutting Ohio's high gas tax and correcting the high cost of living.
  • Expanding availability and affordability of Ohio's healthcare system.
  • Working to bring change to victim advocacy and victim protection laws.
Healthcare and lowering the cost of living. Healthcare because Ohio families like mine have experienced the lack of care some hospitals provide but also the
I really look up to my grandma, Vicki Gross. While she passed away in late 2022, her imprints on me are a large reason why I jumped into this race. From healthcare failures to improving senior care, even using some of that Lima steel in our spines to stand up for when acts of injustice are imposed on the most vulnerable people in Ohio.
While it is difficult to pick, I would say the suicide note from Leelah Alcorn really struck the nerve at 13. We need humanity in our politics again.
A strong moral compass, avoiding the dark money, and hosting townhalls frequently.
Perseverance I believe is the strongest. I don't back down to anyone, especially for my constituents.
To always serve the people that are sending them there.
I would like to make sure my kids, my grandkids, nieces, nephews, etc all know that I did what I could to better our world. Even if we don't win, we will show people that we run no matter what.
The financial crisis in the late 2000's, so I would have been 9 or 10. My mom, who was unemployed at the time, was trying her hardest to ensure my brother and I were supported. it was hard at times, and not always the money for food or other things.
My first job was when I turned 18 working as a host at Bob Evan's. I held it for about four months, leaving shortly before the pandemic.
The Fault in Our Stars hands down. I lost my grandpa, "Pawpaw" in 2014 to stage four cancer. He was my first male figure in my life at the beginning who loved me and my brother, unconditionally. The book makes the grief I experienced validated and shows how it is just really this enormous amount of love that you have for someone but can no longer share it.
I would say Obi-Wan-Kenobi. His patience, fight, and his charisma really inspired me when I was young.
Oh God, I right now have Nebraska by Oh Wonder on replay! I absolutely love the beat and the instruments to all their music.
My mental health, to be out and in the open. I suffer from PTSD, anxiety, and Major Depressive Disorder. I thankfully have been able to manage it for the last few years without medication, but it doesn't change that it is a lifelong problem.
The governor should be willing to work with all members, whether they are in the majority or the minority. We owe it to all Ohioans to ensure that they know bipartisan results can be delivered and that the state government is working on behalf of them.
Fighting the extremism that Ohio has seen over the last few years. We owe it Ohioans to turn away those who try to hijack our school boards and state legislature. They are focusing on issues that Ohioans are not facing and its because they have no solutions. They are focused on finding their next office to hold and cause more chaos and grandstanding as they move up the ladder.
Not necessarily. I believe that a lot various positions can serve and work hard. Be it a single mom who is dedicated to the cause of lowering the cost of childcare or the nurse who is running to fix the broken healthcare system.
I do! You do your best job when you are comfortable with your co-workers. When we build those relationships our constituents can openly see that we can co-exist even in a hyper partisan environment.
Definitely Sherrod Brown. His demeanor, his commitment, and his empathy helped me get involved heavy handed into politics.
I am!
Whenever I hear young people talk about the low amount of opportunities we have in the area. So many young adults are moving to Michigan and Pennsylvania, all because we are not investing in the right places. Lima has lost 8% of its population between 2010-2020 and that is because we are not focusing on the right issues.
Did you know it's illegal to laugh out loud in Hawaii?

You can only let out a low ha!
Yes.
Absolutely, compromise is important when fighting for some things. Sometimes giving and taking some hurts, however, if it pushes us in the right direction we're doing something right. I will say on civil and human rights, though, that there is no room for compromise. Civil liberties in Ohio must be protected with holding on our ground for as long as possible.
A bill to increase the penalizations on the those who violate protection orders.
Tamie Wilson- Democratic Candidate for Ohio's Fourth Congressional District
Northwest Ohio Trans Advocacy
Behavioral Health, Criminal Justice, and Government Oversight.
