- Ohio families deserve leaders who put people first. My American Dividend Plan will return real money to working families—helping with healthcare, housing, and everyday essentials—because no one should have to choose between groceries and prescriptions. By tackling corporate profiteering and investing in local communities, we’ll restore dignity to hard work and ensure every Ohioan can afford a secure, stable life. This campaign is about rebuilding trust and making the American Dream reachable again.
- Ohio built America’s industrial strength, and we can lead again—this time with clean energy jobs that pay well and stay here at home. From solar manufacturing in Toledo to wind projects along Lake Erie, we’ll create thousands of union jobs while protecting our air and water. Investing in green energy isn’t just about the environment—it’s about putting Ohioans back to work, revitalizing our towns, and ensuring our kids inherit both opportunity and a healthier future.
- Many Ohioans once believed in hope and change, then turned to leaders who promised to fight for them. I hear that frustration, and I’m committed to delivering real results.
This campaign is about unity—bringing Democrats, independents, and Republicans together around shared values: affordable living, good-paying jobs, respect for hard work, and the basic dignity every person deserves. That includes standing with LGBTQ+ Ohioans and ensuring that everyone—no matter who they are or who they love—can live, work, and contribute to their community without fear of discrimination.
We can restore Ohio’s promise by putting people before politics and building a future where every family has a fair shot.
