Campaign websiteMills' campaign website stated the following:We're against corruptionWe want to see no more corporate bribery- for so long there have been corporate contributions coming to politicians from regulated monopolies in utilities, healthcare, telecom, and insurance. This is especially present with dark moneyWe want to ban legislators from becoming lobbyists for 5 years after they’re in officeWe also want total transparency in government contracts and budgets and to have that information identifiable and searchable in a public database.Economic affordabilityThey want to create and foster a more collaborative small business ecosystem with incubators, venture capital studios, chambers of commerce, and other entrepreneurship hubsSimplify licensing and regulation for small business especially for gig workers, tradespeople, small business, in home childcare, and other types of local entrepreneurs.Lastly they are in favor of the end property tax amendment that’s on the ballot right now and in its place, they’d prefer to see local consumption based taxes.Personal Dignity for all They are in favor of the state constitutional amendment that is on the ballot for 2026 where it protects the language for for gay marriage in Ohio if the Supreme Court overturns their prior ruling.They want to get government bureaucracy out of the marijuana industry as the government has continued to try to regulate towards the profits of only a few companies for distribution.Lastly they strongly oppose ICE being that they are an unaccountable federal enforcement agency that illegally detains people without cause, are hidden behind masks, and operate without clear identification. They believe that due process applies to everyone and that immigration enforcement should be civil not militarized. Those here illegally should have a straightforward and clear lawful path to citizenship and be required to show good faith progress toward legal status. Violations can be handled as infractions with escalating fines, not indefinite detention, and deportation to only be part of the discussion after repeated, proven noncompliance.We're committed to actionIn today's age where everything feels like it's on fire, it's easy to feel a collective moral grief that can make you feel like giving up. It's important to not give up and not give in, turn this into collective moral anger that fuels action. And we do this action locally and have it bubble up. We're doing this already in a few ways: 1. We're building infrastructure in the anti authoritarianism arenas with alot of conversations with groups like No Kings, Anti Ice, Ohio 50501, ACLU, DUHR, and so many more. All in attempts to lessen the overreach of government in Ohio. 2. We're talking to and partnering with alot of small business ecosystems like incubators, chambers of commerce, and other entrepreneurship organizations- even groups like Right to Start and Plug and Play we've had the opportunity to talk with to try and bring jobs back to Ohio and champion the small business owner. 3. The first step in loving thy neighbor is by going out to meet them first. With that, we've been committed to reaching out to groups and individuals that normally would be ideologically opposed to us to have a discussion and to find common ground. The essence of recognizing the humanity in another through asking questions and having interactions with the context of curiosity and not judgement is key. And in this, we've hosted and will continue to host town hall events where everyone is invited- the left, right, green, up, down, it doesn't matter who you are or your background, we want to sit down and have a conversation. — James Mills' campaign website (April 15, 2026)Note: This text is quoted verbatim from the original source.
