I’ve lived in the rolling hills of northeast Ohio farm country my whole life – and I want to help do what’s best for my community. Growing up in Litchfield where my dad was a Teamster truck driver, and starting a job at 14 myself, I learned the value of hard work. I will take those same working class values to the State House in Columbus if I’m elected. 

I know Wayne County like the back of my hand. I graduated from OSU-Agricultural Technical Institute in Equine Sciences, so I know the early mornings and tough work that goes on at the 2,084 farms in Wayne County. And I know how hard it is for working families to afford basics like healthcare, transportation, and education.

I’ve also worked on causes that make our community stronger, healthier, and a better place to live. I believe in the power of citizens to shape their government and I think that elected officials should be accountable to their constituents. I’ll never take PAC money because the voice of the people should prevail over special interests.
