My name is Joe Dills. I am a Christian Conservative who is married to my beautiful wife Nikea and we are blessed with three children. I am a proud Air Force veteran and a small business owner. I'm a constitutionalist and I believe in less government and more liberty and freedom for the people.
  • I'm an Air Force veteran. I understand the struggles our veterans, police and 1st responders face daily.
  • I'm a small business owner. I understand the business community. Ohio needs less business regulations
  • Liberty! I believe in small, limited, local government and more liberty and freedom for the people
I am pro life and believe life begins at conception. Adoption in Ohio needs to be made easier, faster and more affordable. I believe in the 2nd amendment. You have the right to keep and bear arms and those rights shall not be infringed. I'm against red flag laws. The way education is funded in Ohio is flawed. We need a complete overhaul of how schools are funded. I am against common core and will work to repeal it in Ohio. Education should be local. There are too many business regulations in Ohio, I will fight to slash government regulations. Lastly, I believe the government is of the people, by the people and for the people. Not career recycled politicians.
