Ohio Right to Life
- Excerpt: "A pro-life stand is a stand for our future. Holding the value of human life as sacred is the right attitude for the Ohio legislature. Families, the basic unit of society, should be strengthened by strong pro-family and pro-life policies at the state level."
Common Core State Standards

Taxpayers fund the lion’s share while having the smallest voice and least control in directing local school districts. The taxpayer’s voice becomes a whisper when the state gets funding from US Department of Education (DoED) strings-attached grant programs."
American Laws for American Courts

Equal Custody

Education Reformation
- Excerpt: "A fruitful economic future for Ohio will be the result of current policies that nurture a safe and welcoming environment for businesses to grow."
