“schools, community colleges, heath care, children and adult protective services,, developmental disabilities and mental health community based agencies. Not only has Ohio's average wage been somewhat flat for some time, but we are also a rapidly aging state with an increasing percentage of retirees.” (Ballotpedia Candidate Connection (2020))
“I am proud to have helped secure state funding for infrastructure improvements at Lakeland Community College. This electric substation replacement will not only improve service for the campus facilities but also help lower energy costs for the college. Lakeland is a vital resource for Lake County and Northeast Ohio, and I am glad to support continued state investment in the college and our community.” (Official legislative website (ohiohouse.gov))
