Campaign themes
2016
Hollan's campaign website highlighted the following issues:
| “ |
Influencing the Budget: Being a good steward of tax dollars is the most important role of elected officials. The budget is the means to ensure public services are efficient and programs are in place to raise the quality of life for all Ohioans. Medicaid Expansion: As a healthcare professional who works closely with Medicaid, I see firsthand how critical access to insurance is in order for patients to receive the care they need. Expanding Medicaid to cover more low income residents raises the quality of life by focusing on preventative care which in turn lowers the demand of more expensive emergency care provided by first responders and hospital emergency rooms. Early Childhood Education – State Certified/licensed: The long term success of our state is directly correlated to the success of our children. When children aren’t given the opportunity to prosper it is often difficult to offer a path that does not lead to low paying jobs, financial assistance and, far too often, crime. All Ohioans succeed when children are born healthy and have access to quality childhood care which puts them on a path towards successful education and ultimately self-sufficiency. A requirement that all childcare facilities are state certified would help ensure our children are receiving the quality care they need thrive. Redistricting reform: The greatest obstacle to efficient, cooperative legislation is gerrymandered State and Federal districts that force politicians to take extreme positions to appease their voting base. The power to draw legislative districts should be taken from political parties and placed in the hands of non-partisan judges who will act in the interest of the common good. Equality: Every Ohioan should be treated the same regardless of age, gender, sexual orientation/identity and personal belief system. Discrimination in all forms must be challenged at every opportunity. All lives matter and deserve equal protection by the government[2] |
