Campaign Principles

I have done a lot of research and I've created a lot of solutions. If you'd like to know more, please host a meeting with your friends, family, and neighbors. I'd love to meet you, hear your thoughts and concerns and share my thoughts, solutions, and vision. Please contact me here.

AMERICAN DEMOCRACY, PROTECT ELECTIONS & VOTER RIGHTS

PROTECT AMERICAN DEMOCRACY

Voting is the cornerstone of our Democracy.​

Tamie has fought for fair voting and fair maps.

Tamie will continue to fight to protect this most sacred American right, so everyone has the ability to participate in choosing our leaders.

She will fight to increase the amount of polling locations, to make the process safe and secure, and stop gerrymandering.

Voting should be an easily accessible process that encourages people to do their civic duty to give power to the people and their voice.

PROTECT ELECTIONS AND VOTER RIGHTS

“We must protect our democracy by protecting our elections from foreign and domestic interference. As Americans we have the freedom and right to choose our leaders. I will fight to protect our right to vote and have free and fair elections.”

IMPROVE THE ECONOMY

While Jim Jordan plays the blame game and stops legislation HR7688 Consumer Price Gouging Prevention Act, which would stop gas price gouging, Tamie is offering solutions. Although Tamie shares the goal of transitioning renewable forms of energy, the reality is that gas and diesel are still important in driving the economy. Due to the war in Ukraine, global gas and diesel prices are rising and are now fueling inflation here and abroad. We need to do more now to soften gas and diesel prices while the administration works for longer term solutions. Tamie whole-heartedly supports the Administration’s decision to tap into the strategic petroleum reserves, this is not enough. She now calls on the President to immediately give Americans a holiday from the national gas tax as we head into the summer vacation, construction and farming season. This will save 18 cents a gallon on gas and 24 cents a gallon on diesel prices, which translate into lower prices in many sectors, including food and construction supplies. As a congressional candidate, my commitment is to drive meaningful change for our county. I’m dedicated to boosting our economy, curbing inflation, and fostering job creation. I believe in tax policies that benefit hardworking families and businesses alike, while ensuring affordable housing is accessible for all. Together, let’s build a stronger, more prosperous future, where everyone has a fair shot at success.

CREATE A SAFER AMERICA

“Physical safety, survival, is our utmost basic of all human needs. The rise in violence such as mass shootings, domestic terrorism, school shootings, domestic violence, police brutality, etc. compromise us all. I was surprised to hear only 9 states receive funding to combat domestic violence. I’ve spoken with several experts, and I’ve created a comprehensive plan to reduce violence in America. I’m excited to go to Washington and present my ideas that no one in Washington is discussing.”

WOMEN’S RIGHTS

CHAMPION FOR WOMEN'S RIGHTS

Even though women make over 50% of the population in the United States, we’re still treated as a minority. Women deserve equal pay for their work regardless of sex or race. Women deserve the right to choose what’s best for their bodies and healthcare. We need better laws in place to protect us from sexual harassment at work, sexual assault, and domestic violence. I will fight to protect women’s voices, rights, and lives.​

I will fight to ensure women’s voices are heard and our rights protected.

I vow to not only protect women’s rights, but also our bodies, our safety, our lives. I will be heard, and I will get things done. It amazes me women aren’t further along in 2021; what’s worse, it seems we’re going backwards.

Women are smart and powerful. We see things differently than men. There’s a reason why men say they don’t understand how women think, they aren’t women.

We need more female voices in government. We need more women, especially women of diversity, in Congress and that’s exactly why I’m running for office.

Women with strong voices continue to get silenced, dismissed, and/or attacked with smear campaigns. As a collective, we need to stand up and fight harder than ever and make good trouble. We must protect our rights.

Women continue to suffer domestic abuse, sexual harassment at work, sexual assault, human trafficking, etc.. Most cases, if heard, are dismissed. Legislation is rarely passed to protect and advance the quality of life personally and professionally for women.

Let’s be honest, women are not a priority, we’re more of an afterthought. Most men do not wake up in morning and think, “How can I focus my day on improving the lives of women?” You know who does? I do! Everyday, I think of things that can and should be done to improve our quality of life personally and professionally. I know women. I know our challenges. Better yet, I know what needs to be done to improve our lives.

If supporting and protecting women is important to you, I need your help, please support my campaign by sharing my message, volunteering, and donating.

IMPROVE EDUCATION FOR ALL CHILDREN

“We all want what’s best for our children’s future; however, as a society, we need to want what’s best for all children’s futures. I’ve spoken with teachers and they agree, no matter the zip code, every child deserves to get a good education.”

Children are our future

This is America. All of our children should receive the best education possible to make our country the strongest world leader.

I will work as a partner with the school system to increase funding for public schools, hold charters accountable, stand up for the civil rights of educators and students, and enact policies that respect the professionalism of teachers and education support professionals. I will always be accessible to you as well. In addition, I have ideas I would like to see implemented to further enrich the lives of students.

I strongly believe children are our future. They say, ‘Through the mouths of babes’ for a reason. Children are born pure, loving, and vulnerable. We are the ones who mold their thinking and are instrumental in the development of their character, so it is up to us to ensure they are well educated and equipped with a good education and the life skills needed to succeed.

In a perfect world parents would teach their children to be good, fair, and of high moral character. They would also teach their children healthy communication skills, emotional intelligence, and financial literacy. They would equip children with the skills to reject negative projection, not seek negative attention, nor put themselves in compromising situations that could be dangerous. In a perfect world parents would express healthy love instilling self-confidence in their children, so they don’t look for love and attention in all the wrong places and become susceptible to predators.

Most issues boil down to the lack of basic life skills I mentioned. Violence is a result of mental imbalance or lack of emotional intelligence coping skills; obviously, happy healthy people don’t feel the need to hurt or kill others. With that said, we must drill down deeper. What causes that mental imbalance? Yes, some people suffer severe mental illness and are on medication that can exacerbate their chemical imbalance which can cause them to execute acts of violence, but that’s not true for everyone. Some people are raised in violent homes, so it’s just their way of life. They don’t know how to get their needs met without violence. Some people become mentally imbalanced because of financial hardship. Enriching our children with the basic life skills they need to succeed in life is the first step to truly creating a more perfect America.

Just imagine that world, a world full of more people living lives with more peace, love, happiness, and success. Wouldn’t that be nice? However, we all know we don’t live in a perfect world and parents can’t teach what they don’t know or struggle with themselves. But, what if we could live in a more perfect world? What if there were small changes, we could make to uplift communities and expand our educational system? Well, I have a plan for that, my Education Expansion Plan.

Every schoolkid in America should receive an excellent education no matter what zip code they live in.

Furthermore, every child should learn basic life skills from pre-k -12th grade.

We should teach:

1. Mental Fitness – Everyone should have the skills to master their mental game. They should possess the mental skills to able to push through negative thinking and bounce back after disappointments or perceived failures. Everyone needs a healthy self-esteem to reach their full potential as a human.

2. Emotional Fitness – Everyone needs to know how to process their emotions, so they can deal with stress, anger, heartbreak, negative projection, etc. Children need to learn a healthy sense of self, self-love, and self respect, so they don’t develop co-dependent relationships with others which could land them in abusive relationships or other dangers. Empowering America’s children with Emotional Fitness will help reduce bullying, low self-esteem, child suicide, and school shootings.

3. Financial Literacy – If we want to lower the national debt, everyone needs to know how to balance a checkbook, budget, pay bills, live within their means, and make healthy invests in their future.

4. Healthy Communication Skills – Everyone needs to know how to communicate in a healthy manner. Everyone needs to know how to resolve conflict respectfully vs making personal attacks. Active listening, we all need to listen more and seek to understand one another.​

5. Organization and Time Management Skills – Everyone needs to know how to organize their life, personal and professional spaces, tasks, and time. Employers want employees to show up on time and creditors want their bills paid on time.

We can transform America by incorporating these 5 basic life skills into our education curriculum.

EXPAND ACCESS TO AFFORDABLE HEALTHCARE

“I know people who have forgone seeking healthcare because they couldn’t afford it and they didn’t have health insurance. It’s sad to me that healthcare is such a big business in the US. People should not have to suffer or die because they can’t afford healthcare. I will fight for everyone to be able to have access to affordable healthcare.”

SUPPORT THE AFRICAN AMERICAN COMMUNITY

“As a biracial woman, I have experienced racism all throughout my life. The statement Black Lives Matter refers to the inequality African Americans experience compared to white people in everyday life. There is a huge discrepancy in how black people are hired, paid, and treated at work. Black people are more likely to be harassed when walking down the street and shopping. It’s no secret black people, especially black men, are more likely to be pulled over, arrested, and killed by police; in addition, they’re given tougher sentences and less likely to get paroled from prison. As a society, we must first acknowledge the disparity exists, so we can heal, unite as a society, and move forward. I have many ideas of things we can do to reduce racism and advance the African American community.”

HELP SMALL BUSINESSES SUCCEED

“Everyone knows small business and manufacturers are the backbone of our economy. As a small business owner myself, I’m very aware of the challenges small business owners face. I will do everything I can to help small businesses, especially women and minority owned businesses, succeed.”

ADVOCATE FOR VETERANS & MILITARY

“My ex-husband is a veteran and I have many friends and family members who are veterans. I’ve lived the military life. I know how heartbreaking it is to wonder if your loved one is dead or alive. I’m also well aware of the mental and physical health challenges our veterans struggle with, let alone the distance they have to travel to receive healthcare. I will be a strong advocate for our military members, their families, and especially our veterans.”

PROTECT SENIORS

“I love and care for all people and especially our seniors. My parents are seniors. My mom has cancer and one of her medications is over $5,000 a month, that’s ridiculous. I was very close to my grandma. She lived in a senior home at the end of her life. Luckily, she was in a good and clean facility; however, I know not all facilities are as nice as the one she lived in. Our seniors deserve Medicare, Social Security, and affordable prescription drugs I will always fight to protect and improve the quality of life for our seniors.”

Tamie will always protect social security and Medicare. She will work to get the cap kites off of social security, so it becomes solvent.

ADDRESS CLIMATE CHANGE & PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT

How many more warnings do we need before we act decisively against the climate crisis? Our health, agriculture, and food supply are inextricably linked to the environment we live in. We cannot let disasters like the Flint water crisis unfold in Ohio or anywhere else. Everyone deserves clean water. My own uncle’s battle with polio, contracted from contaminated water, is a stark reminder of what’s at stake. We must ensure our children can attend safe schools and safely play in our backyards, not near power plants that have been linked to cancer cases. Breathing clean air isn’t a privilege; it’s a right. I propose investing in renewable energy, enforcing stricter pollution controls, and launching community-driven clean water initiatives.

None of us want a Flint Michigan water crisis in Ohio or anywhere else in the country. Everyone deserves clean water. Our bodies are made of 50-70% water. Years ago, my uncle contracted polio from contaminated water. Our children should be able to safely play in water in our backyards. I know several people who lived in proximity to a power plant that died of cancer. Breathing clean air is just a human right as well. I will combat the climate crisis and take necessary steps to protect our environment to ensure we have clean air, energy, and water. In cases like this, we must move past the opposition to save lives. Join me in this fight to secure a future with clean air, energy, and water for all.

COMMON-SENSE SAFETY MEASURES and SUPPORT 2ND AMENDMENT

“I support the 2nd Amendment. I grew up shooting guns with my cousins and my uncles, who are hunters. However, I also believe in common-sense safety measures. My aunt was killed via domestic violence. She was shot point blank with a 12 gauge shotgun. Her restraining order, a piece of paper, did not save her life. So, from my life experience, I see both sides of this heated debate.

Everyone wants and needs to feel safe in their home and community. Over 39,000 people die from gun violence every year-that’s over a 100 a day! We can do better. We need to talk about common-sense gun laws. We need to look at some of the key issues like the purchasing process, mental health screening, criminal background checks, black market guns, socio-economic inequality to name a few. We need to have common-sense solutions, that will save lives, that no one in Washington is addressing in a meaningful way.”

I SUPPORT LAW ENFORCEMENT

“I have friends who are police officers. I’m thankful for all who put their lives on the line every day to protect us. I also appreciate the sacrifice their family members make to support them. I know it’s not quite the same, but I know what it feels like to be the wife of someone who puts their life in danger in service to our country. Police officers are extraordinary people. I believe most of them are good, but they are people and we all know, not all people have good intentions, some are bad apples. Therefore, I believe we need to hold wrongdoers accountable. Like many Americans, watching the death of George Floyd shook me to my core. Being who I am, I decided to go through the Delaware Citizen’s Police Academy. I am now the President of the Delaware Citizens Police Academy Alumni Association. I learned a lot; including, close to 80% of police calls are not even police related, but they’re all we have, especially after hours. Police officers are our first responders. I see areas that are working well and areas that need improvement across the country. As a result, I devised a new bill that supports the police and citizens so everyone goes home safe. I believe we need to support law enforcement with people (social workers and mental health professionals), increase training, and the resources they need, so they can do their job effectively. I also volunteer to help our law enforcement.”

ADVOCATE FOR THE DISABLED COMMUNITY

“I have disabled family members and friends. Some of them are able to work and some of them are not able to work. I understand their dependency on family, community, and government assistance. None of them are disabled to fault of their own and none of them take pride in needing help. I believe, as a society, we must help those who cannot help themselves, it’s just the right thing to do. I will always fight to protect the quality of life for the disabled.”

FIGHT FOR FAIR TAXES FOR ALL

“I was surprised to discover Amazon made $33 million per hour during COVID in 2020, yet millions of Americans were losing jobs and going hungry. I’m a single mother and small business owner. I’m sure you’re as infuriated as I am that we pay taxes and corporations like Amazon doesn’t. My heart breaks when I think of all the suffering in our country. Child hunger and homelessness rates are extremely high. I will do everything I can to make sure everyone pays their fair share.”

LOVE & RESPECT FOR ALL OHIOANS

“I love and care for ALL people. Being biracial, I have been through a lot in my life, so I have an enormous amount of patience, empathy, and understanding for people. I’ve helped thousands of people transform their lives personally and professionally, so I am very aware of the most pressing issues facing Ohioans and how to resolve them. As a society, we’re only as strong as our weakest link. Unfortunately, we have too many weak links. We all do better when we all do better. We have a lot of work to do and I’m ready. I have many ideas that will improve the lives of all Americans and I can’t wait to put them in action.”

MAKE COLLEGE AFFORDABLE

“People who wish to seek higher education should have the ability to do so, and not go in debt for decades well after they graduate. People in other countries can earn a masters degree for $1500. People in the US spend closer to $100,000. The average American cannot afford a 6 figure education. A college education needs to be more affordable to advance the US as a country to keep us a competitive world leader. We all do better when we all do better.”

COMBAT THE OPIOID CRISIS

“I know people who suffer from opioid addiction. Some people have struggled with addition their whole life. Others became addicts from pharmaceutical use. Some say the border crisis is to blame for the opioid crisis, but the truth is, addiction is the issue. I believe our best way to combat the opioid crisis is to help addicts heal. Rehab centers and foster care organizations are overwhelmed and overflowing. Addiction not only affects the addict, but also their family, friends, work, and community. We must combat addiction to truly solve the opioid crisis.”

ADVOCATE FOR AGRICULTURAL AND RURAL COMMUNITIES

“I come from a family of farmers, so I know the blood, sweat, and tears that goes into farming. Ohio farmers have struggled for far too long. I will fight to ensure farmers are protected and equipped to succeed by dismantling the monopolies in the ag industry ie: suppliers and meat packers. I will address the policies including the water crisis and immigration crisis that is negatively affecting farmers and their workforce. I will make it easier for farmers to go green. I will also make strides to improve farming sustainability and protect future farmers of America”

I STAND WITH THE LGBTQIA COMMUNITY

“Most of us want similar things: a home, a family, safe communities. A place where people who work hard and meet their responsibilities have the chance to get ahead. But some politicians exploit divisions and fears among us so they can get and hold onto power, denying us the basic rights, resources, and respect all people deserve. By standing together we can rewrite the rules to ensure that all people, including those who are members of the LGBTQIA community, have a fair opportunity to provide for themselves and their families, live free from discrimination, and build a better life without fear.”

FIGHT FOR AMERICAN WORKERS

“Ohio has experienced numerous shutdowns, layoffs, and job losses. I’m committed to increase jobs and wages. I support unions and their fight to protect workers and their rights. I will support our factories and manufacturers by fighting for fair trade, so they can continue to provide jobs and help communities thrive."[2]

What was the last song that got stuck in your head?

I'm Glad There Is You sung by Seth MacFarlane

What do you perceive to be the United States' greatest challenges as a nation over the next decade?

The greatest challenges the United States has as a nation are social media’s role in spreading false information, providing platforms for hate groups to recruit and grow their followers causing more division in our country, the rise in civic discord amongst elected officials threatening our democracy, and the growth of domestic terrorist groups. We must do something about these issues now before things get too out of control. In addition, we need to elect more women in the House and Senate. Women make over 50% of the U.S. population, but we only represent 26.7% in Congress. Women see things differently than men. We are intelligent problem solvers who get things done. We need to be heard and represented in Washington, especially women of diversity.

I have friends and family members of all ethnicities, sexual orientations, socioeconomic and educational backgrounds. I can relate to all people. As Senator, I will develop strong working relationships with Senators of all political affiliations. I believe unity brings progress and division brings chaos. Elected officials must work together to create policies, programs, and laws that will improve the lives of all Americans.

Do you believe that compromise is necessary or desirable for policymaking?

YES! I believe in creating win-win solutions so everyone feels heard and represented. Division creates chaos and stalls progress causing American citizens to suffer.

Campaign website

Wilson's campaign website stated the following:

Lower Gas Prices & Inflation

"We all feel the financial hit at the pump. I’ve had to stop and think strategically about where and when I go places. I’m sure you have too."

Tamie is excited to go to Washington and present the ideas that no one in Washington is discussing.

Champion Women's Rights

"With Roe v Wade overturned, it's never been more important for me to win this race in OH-04 and expand our pro-choice majority in the House!"

Even though women make over 50% of the population in the United States, we’re still treated as a minority.

Women deserve equal pay for their work regardless of sex or race.

Women deserve the right to choose what’s best for their bodies and healthcare.

We need better laws in place to protect us from sexual harassment at work, sexual assault, and domestic violence.

Tamie will fight to protect women’s voices, rights, and lives.
