Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I’m Kim Georgeton, a Parent, not a Politician. I’m a Mother, a Wife, a Small Business Owner and a Leader. For most of my life, I was uninvolved in Politics. Now, that I’ve seen the impending disaster caused by our current political actors, I can’t close my eyes any longer.

I’m running for State Representative because I feel our State leadership and our State Legislature has let us down. They stood by and watched while our Constitutional rights were being stripped away. They deferred to act, while the very fabric of America was being torn apart.

I was born and raised in Cincinnati, graduated from Oak Hills High School and the University of Cincinnati. I can’t bear to see our City and State further ruined. Will you support me in my campaign to help save our families and communities?

I’m Pro-Life, Pro-Gun, Pro-Small Business and Pro-School Choice. Above all, I respect our most revered documents of our Federal Constitution and State of Ohio Constitution and I promise you that I will view legislation through the lens of these founding documents and fight for our inalienable rights.

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

• Pro-Life
• Pro-Gun
• Pro-School Choice and Small Businesses

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Limiting Government Overreach

Tax Reduction
Privacy
Health Care

Education

Who do you look up to? Whose example would you like to follow, and why?

There are no other better role model examples in my life than my parents. They were both very principled and humble people who committed to provide for our family and instill in us a robust appreciation of life, faith and loyalty. Their journey through the Great Depression, growing up in hard times, living through the horrors of WWII and then raising a family on a modest income all the while providing the discipline and example for all of us to stand through life, will forever lead me through good times and bad.

Is there a book, essay, film, or something else you would recommend to someone who wants to understand your political philosophy?

Thomas Sowell, The Vision of the Anointed

Fire in the Minds of Men, James H Billington
The Constitution

The Declaration of Independence

What characteristics or principles are most important for an elected official?

Listening.

Transparency.

Communicating with Constituents regularly.

What qualities do you possess that you believe would make you a successful officeholder?

Critical Thinking and Analysis

Passion for the Constitution

Successful Negotiator

What do you believe are the core responsibilities for someone elected to this office?

Uphold the Constitutional Rights of all Constituents.

What legacy would you like to leave?

Make Politics More Accessible

Help Educate the Public

Inspire Involvement in the Process

What is the first historical event that happened in your lifetime that you remember? How old were you at the time?

Other than the Dorothy Hamill Ice Skating Championship and Wedge haircut of 1976 (which I also sported for some time), the Space Shuttle Challenger Disaster which occurred in 1986 was the first major historical event that impacted me. In 1986, I was 15 and we watched this replay while in middle school.

What was your very first job? How long did you have it?

My first job was a summer job when I was 14 working at the Downtown Cincinnati Public Library. I also worked there the following Summer. From there, I took many different jobs throughout my teen years and into College to pay my way through University of Cincinnati while living at home with my Parents.

What is your favorite book? Why?

The State of Ohio Constitution. So we can get back to our fundamentals.

What was the last song that got stuck in your head?

I Can Only Imagine

What do you believe is the ideal relationship between the governor and state legislature?

The Governor is only responsible for signing laws put into place by the legislature, not creating laws.

What do you perceive to be your state's greatest challenges over the next decade?

Privacy

Freedom of Speech
Financial Liberty
Health Liberty

Tilting the Balance of Powers back toward the People and the States and away from the Fed.

What are the benefits and drawbacks of a unicameral state legislature, in your opinion?

I think a unicameral state legislature would result in less diversity of outcomes. The best outcomes are usually a product of robust debate and intentional conflict, not of the mass formation of opinion, which can sometimes occur in a single group and already occurs in each of the two party caucuses.

Do you believe that it’s beneficial for state legislators to have previous experience in government or politics?

At present, I do not believe it is a benefit for legislators to have prior experience in government or politics. Our founding documents concur that regular citizens should take time away from their employment to serve and then return, rather than creating long-term careers in political positions. The system needs a fresh perspective and new ideas to transform it into something the People can trust again.

Do you believe it’s beneficial to build relationships with other legislators? Please explain your answer.

It is always good to build relationships with people in almost any scenario, but not to the level where an allegiance is with a person over their oath of office.

What process do you favor for redistricting?

Not the one we currently have where the restrictions make it impossible to have a map that conforms to the Constitution. Having the populous cities decide the fate of an entire state when the rural areas cover more square mileage of land does not represent the values of Ohioans. Provide simple criteria and stick with a methodology so we can have solid comparisons for the future.

If you are not a current legislator, are there certain committees that you would want to be a part of?

N/A

If you are a current legislator, what appealed to you about your current committees?

N/A

Is there a particular legislator, past or present, whom you want to model yourself after?

Jennifer Gross, Tom Brinkman and Jena Powell are doing a good job representing Ohioans.

Are you interested in running for a different political office (for example, the U.S. Congress or governor) in the future?

Have not thought that far ahead.

Both sitting legislators and candidates for office hear many personal stories from the residents of their district. Is there a story that you’ve heard that you found particularly touching, memorable, or impactful?

The story of Steph and her daughter Maddie DeGaray. Her daughter was severely injured in the Children's Hospital Vaccine trial and the amount of the family's suffering is absolutely unacceptable and unbelievable in the world we live in today.

Should the legislature oversee or grant the use of emergency powers?

The legislature should oversee the process. There should always be checks and balances.

From the 16th American Jurisprudence, Second Edition, Section 177: "The general misconception is that any statute passed by legislators bearing the appearance of law constitutes the law of the land. The U.S. Constitution is the supreme law of the land, and any statute, to be valid, must be in agreement.

In 16 American Jurisprudence 2d, a legal encyclopedia of United States law, suspension of the Constitution is prohibited, as follows:

“It is sometimes argued that the existence of an emergency allows the existence and operation of powers, national or state, which violate the inhibitions of the Federal Constitution. The rule is quite otherwise. NO emergency justifies the violation of any of the provisions of the United States Constitution.” Section 71

“Neither the legislature nor any executive or judicial officer may disregard the provisions of the Constitution in case of an emergency…” Section 98

Do you believe that compromise is necessary or desirable for policymaking?

I believe that compromise is what got us into the position we are in where a majority of our rights have been stripped away slowly over time without realizing it and under color of law. I believe that we need to stand strong and negotiate critically and intelligently for common sense policies. It may be required to stand our ground in order to repeal some of the radical anti-American policies that have made their way into law.
