Expand all | Collapse all

I am a fighter on behalf of the hardworking families of the Dayton region who need a stronger voice speaking out for them in Columbus. I am the candidate who gets results for my constituents, and I am the candidate who has the best chance to beat a Republican in the General election and flip it blue for the first time in 38 years. As a Kettering City Councilwoman, I’ve spent a lot of time listening to people talk about what matters most to them, and what they want for their families. They do not want a single-issue advocate who talks more than they listen and focuses on social media clicks more than serving constituents. People have real concerns, and they deserve a State Senator who understands those concerns and works every day to address them.
  • My plan is to go to Columbus to get things done. Democrats can be more than window dressing in our State Legislature, they do pass legislation in Columbus.  My main priority is working to advocate that our budget reflects the priorities of the

    people of the Dayton region – and that the money we commit in the form of taxes comes back to us in the form of services and initiatives that solve our problems. 

    My top priorities as State Senator will focus on Ohio's urgent challenges. The state's 50th ranking in children's services and 44th ranking in health outcomes in the nation highlight a crisis due to misguided policies and insufficient funding. 
  • In the State Legislature my priorities will be education and children’s services, preventing price-gouging in healthcare, addressing Dayton’s African American maternal and infant mortality crisis, and securing more funding for mental health services and addiction programs. Housing is another key concern, with the Dayton region in need of more mid-market housing. I have successfully supported strategic rezoning for new housing, fostering economic growth and fiscal sustainability in our city.
  • I grew up in a household where fighting hunger and poverty were top priorities.  My dad, former Dayton Congressman Tony Hall, was recognized as the top fighter on hunger issues while he served in Congress, and I learned from his passion, and from his public service skills. I think the legislature needs to tackle access to a complete, healthy diet by every citizen of the state, regardless of where they live.  That means addressing food deserts, as I did on the Kettering City Council.  I believe the legislature needs to address the rising costs of fees and services that do not do anything to help people lift themselves out of poverty – escalating health insurance rates, prescription drug prices, and housing costs.
Increased Childcare Access - Recognizing the importance of accessible childcare for families, I will successfully advocate for increased childcare options allowing more working parents to secure reliable childcare services, supporting our local workforce and promoting family well-being.

Housing - there is a need for more housing in the Dayton region. I will actively encourage rezoning efforts to accommodate increased housing and businesses. As a result we will have hundreds of new mid-market homes built in our region. Through rezoning, my vision for a vibrant and growing community will pave the way for additional new business development.
My dad Tony Hall, former Congressman in the Dayton region and U.S. Ambassador. He has lived an extraordinary life of public service, and taught me the importance of listening to people and representing their needs effectively.
As an elected official my focus will be on trying to make my constituents lives better. I grew up in a household where public service was a way of life. It taught me the importance of listening to people and representing their needs effectively.
I am a fighter on behalf of the hardworking families of the Dayton region who need a stronger voice speaking out for them in Columbus. I am the candidate who gets results for my constituents, and I am the candidate who has the best chance to beat a Republican in the General election and flip it blue for the first time in 38 years. 
Montgomery County Prosecutor Mat Heck, Jr.
Ohio Chamber of Commerce
I would be interested in education and healthcare committees and I will seek to launch a Price of

Poverty Caucus within the first days of my tenure if elected as the Senator from the 6th Senate District.

Dayton, with a poverty rate exceeding 27%, stands among the highest in the nation, more than doubling the national average. Recognizing that poverty is not just an individual struggle but a burden carried by the entire community. The caucus will operate on a bi-partisan, bi-cameral basis, bringing together lawmakers from both sides of the aisle to examine the multi-faceted costs of poverty.
