Full four-year term
Education (K-12)
“I will bring reform to our corrupt school voucher system, which funnels billions of hardworking Ohio taxpayer dollars to private schools with no transparency or accountability. Public money should be for public schools.”
Reproductive Health
“When I am Governor, I will protect reproductive freedom so that every woman can access safe, legal abortion care, contraception, fertility treatments, and miscarriage care.”
Health Care
“I’ll reduce prescription drug prices by launching Ohio Rx, an online platform that will leverage Ohio’s purchasing power from its Medicaid single pharmacy benefit manager to drive down drug prices for all Ohioans.”
Labor & Employment
“As governor, I will protect our unions and ensure that Ohio never becomes a right-to-work state.”
Crime & Policing
“As Governor, I will rebuild state and local partnerships, fully fund the police and public safety, and ensure that communities again have the public safety resources they need. My opponent’s plan to eliminate property taxes will defund our police, firefighters and first responders.”
Elections & Campaigns
“But we have a bipartisan group that is ready in Ohio, and 27, hear my words, we are ending gerrymandering in my state once and for all.”
Taxes & Revenue
“People are working harder than they ever have. There is no more breathing room left. And so we are immediately proposing in our first budget a working class family tax cut for everyone.”

Tech companies are racing to build data centers that draw as much power as a small city, and they want you to pay for the wiring. When one comes to town, the utility has to build new power plants, transmission lines, and substations, and unless your state says otherwise, that bill gets spread across every household’s rates while the company that caused it negotiates a special deal. Some of these facilities also pull millions of gallons of water a day from the same reservoirs and aquifers that families and farms depend on. The richest companies in the world don’t need a subsidy from your electric bill. Make data centers pay the full cost of the grid and water they use, through the public utility commission and in law, so the companies building them cover the bill instead of families.
Finish repealing the HB6 utility bailout at the center of the largest bribery scandal in Ohio history, and refund ratepayers the subsidies they're still paying for failing coal plants. Ohioans should not keep funding the deal that sent lawmakers to prison.
You can’t shop around for electricity. A monopoly power company sets your rates, a state commission is supposed to hold it in check, and the company is allowed a set profit on every dollar it pours into new plants and power lines, so the incentive is always to build more, charge more, and pass the bill to you. Too often customers end up paying for projects that failed, for the utility’s lobbying and political spending, and for rate hikes regulators wave through. Families are choosing between the power bill and groceries while shareholders collect. Rein in monopoly utilities: ban charging customers for lobbying and political spending, cut the profits regulators hand them, and require refunds when regulators find overcharges.
