Environment / Energy We must maintain the health of Lake Erie and combat the challenges of climate change with scientifically sound solutions. Guns Let’s start by reactivating the assault weapons ban of 1994 that expired in 2004. We need “Red Flag” laws that are actually enforced. We need to rescind laws that jeopardize the safety of police at traffic stops. Environment / Energy We must no longer allow farm run off or waste products from factory farms to enter Lake Erie. There cannot be a higher priority than protecting this vital resource for us, and future generations. Economy I believe in prioritizing policies, ideals and legislation that are designed to benefit middle- and working-class people, and I believe we all have the right to pursue happiness – no matter who you love or how you live. Guns We must address Ohio’s gun violence public health crisis with action. Not inadequate “thoughts and prayers.” Not flawed “good guys with guns.” Not by arming our teachers or turning our schools into fortresses. Government Reform It is the responsibility of a state representative to protect the vote not to dismantle it through legislation. Wages / Job Benefits I believe in the Labor Movement and want to maintain its strength in Ohio by protecting against efforts to weaken its influence.
