| Collapse all
- Max Miller does not prioritize the needs of everyday Ohioans. The One Big Beautiful Bill initially advanced out of the House by just one vote – Max’s vote. That bill gutted our social safety net by cutting Medicaid and SNAP benefits, increased tariffs, and ballooned our national debt to fund tax giveaways to millionaires. This makes life unaffordable. We need tax and trade policies for Main Street not Wall Street. I will shift tax cuts from the wealthy toward investments in education and job training, cap college tuition increases to the rate of inflation, and champion universal pre-K. I will also ensure our small businesses benefit from more reasonable and stable tariff policies, while opening the markets Ohio’s farmers need to thrive.
- People are afraid to go to school and work because of the radical immigration policies Max Miller supports. This has drastic economic consequences for our country, contributing to our affordability crisis. There is also a moral imperative to make sure people can pursue freedom without fear. America has always been a beacon of hope for people fleeing oppression, offering compassion and opportunity. Rather than continue to fund ICE’s indiscriminate and increasingly dangerous roundups, I would invest in efforts to modernize our asylum process. It should not take months and even years for refugees to receive a hearing, caught in legal limbo while trying to live their lives and contribute to Ohio’s communities.
- Healthcare is a right not a privilege. The One Big Beautiful Bill supported by Max Miller will make access and costs worse by cutting Medicaid, leading to fewer hospitals, particularly in Wayne and Ashland counties. The cost of care for all of us, including those of us with private insurance, will increase because the reduction in preventative care among former Medicaid recipients will eventually increase usage rates among underinsured patients with more serious health issues. We all lose. We must build a healthcare system focused on quality, access, and affordability. I will strengthen the ACA with a greater emphasis on preventative care, while increasing the number of primary care doctors through targeted loan-forgiveness programs.
While serving as an elected member of the Bay Village Board of Education, I helped navigate pandemic-era tensions by hiring strong leaders, collaborating on a student-focused strategic plan, negotiating fair agreements with our unions, and lowering the temperature. We made our school board meetings boring again, not because we agreed about everything, but because we remembered we are on the same side. I’ll bring that same approach to Washington.
