Why I’m Running

I am running for Congress for the people of Ohio’s Fifth District.

I believe that this district and every district deserves intelligent, creative, compassionate and responsible fiscal and social leadership. What we currently have is a district where Veterans are ignored, jobs are lost, education is pushed aside, farmers are disregarded and the land is disrespected. What we have is a district where the incumbent lacks accountability and disregards the needs of his constituents, putting party before people and financial gain ahead of folks he is called to serve.

I am running for Congress for the folks in Northwest Ohio.

I am running for Congress because I believe that we stand on common ground as residents of Northwest Ohio and I know that what unites us is bigger, better, and bolder than anything seeking to divide us. I know that we are people of the promise – the promise that we can have good jobs, good schools, and the good life, right here in this good place – your place, my place – our place.
