“We must fully and fairly fund our public schools and protect and strengthen essential public services. For too long, policymakers in Columbus have starved local communities of the resources they need to keep our streets safe and our neighborhoods livable for residents of all ages.”
(Ballotpedia Candidate Connection (2026)) “We need fairness in our tax system. Recent spikes in property values and resulting increases in property taxes have made it difficult for some of our neighbors to stay in their homes.”
(Ballotpedia Candidate Connection (2026)) “We must ensure freedom for all people to earn a good living, care for their families, and participate fully in our democracy. State government should never stand in the way of freedom for people from all backgrounds to flourish.”

“Prioritizing What Matters at Home - The quality of life we enjoy on the Westside didn’t happen by accident. Generations before us invested in good schools, police and first responders we can count on, beautiful parks and a Lake we’re proud to live beside.”
(Ballotpedia Candidate Connection (2026)) “2. As a small business owner, I'm equally passionate about cutting red tape for Westside employers and fighting for a low-tax, low-regulation environment where local businesses can grow.”
