I am a student and activist who was born in and raised in Richland County. I graduated from Lexington High School, and have many fond memories growing up in the area. I'm a writer, with short stories that have appeared in multiple publications, as well as a frequent podcast guest.
  • Break the stranglehold that Mike DeWine and his Republican flunkies have on the state legislature.
  • Stand firmly for the civil liberties of all Ohioans. That means voting down any bill that limits gun ownership, a woman's right to choose, and adults' right to smoke what they want.
  • Send a message to the establishment of both parties that working people across the state are sick of the status quo.
Creating a fair and equitable economy that gives working people a livable wage and affordable healthcare. We absolutely need to raise the minimum wage. Protecting our civil liberties; gun-rights, abortion-rights, and the right of adults to smoke what they wish. I strongly believe it is past time for the state of Ohio to legalize recreational marijuana.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. She shocked the establishment by running a grassroots campaign and she has yet to sellout to the party establishment or big donors.
Hypernormalization, Noam Chomsky's work, the Chapo Trap House podcast, Sorry to Bother You, Marx
I've worked a ton of awful minimum wage jobs. I know how bad it is. That's a perspective that is needed in government.
Serve the people, fight for working people, stand up to big business and corporations. Protect and defend and constitution.
Working the tubing park at Snow Trails. Had that for a few months.
The Corrections by Jonathan Franzen
Hard to say, and that's the problem. Both are part of the Republican super-majority hold that Mike DeWine and his GOP flunkies have on the state.
Not at all. State government, indeed federal government would function much better while keeping the interests of normal people in mind if our representatives came straight from jobs like retail, service industry, military, and construction/labor.
Stopping the brain-drain. Stopping this state's terrible struggle with drug abuse and addiction. Making Ohio the heart of the nation again. Getting it back to work.
One that pushes back against the extremism of the other instead of working in-tandem to create silliness, draconian laws, and political theater.
Civil Justice, Commerce and Labor, Energy and Natural Resources, Health
I've had so many of my peers in district 2 share horror stories of dealing with health insurance and the high cost of living. It's very disturbing and it needs changed.
