Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I have lived in Ohio my entire life and lived in my House District for about 25 years. I care deeply about my community and the state and I want Ohio to be a place where people choose to live and stay. My experience of over 20 years as a lawyer in state government and 8 years leading as school board president have provided me with a deep and thorough understanding of how our government works and how it can work best for all of us.
