Nowak made the following statement to Ballotpedia regarding his political philosophy:[2]
| “ |
JOBS FOR OHIO & A STRONG ECONOMY I understand that government and politicians don’t create jobs and that tax increases are never the solution to our state’s economic and budgetary challenges. I will focus on rebuilding Ohio to make the Buckeye State economically competitive and welcoming to innovation and job creation. Increasing taxes is never the solution to the economic and budgetary challenges for our state. You can count on me to fight for: Reducing the cost of government: I will take a microscope to current government programs to ensure taxpayers are getting their money’s worth. Create a business friendly environment: We need to remove barriers, red tape and bureaucracy. High taxes, excessive regulation, and frivolous lawsuits do not help businesses succeed and create jobs. I want to put an end to those things and put up the welcome sign for employers Develop a 21st century workforce: I want to see us take the great resources of our schools, colleges, community colleges, and universities, and hold them accountable to prepare Ohioans to meet workforce demands. Stop the brain drain of Ohio’s best and brightest: I support a retroactive income tax credit eliminating tax liability for five years to individuals who obtain a baccalaureate degree from a college or university in Ohio and who reside in Ohio for a minimum of five years after graduation.
