High property taxes are not inevitable, they are a choice. A choice that elected republicans—who have had total control at the statehouse for over a decade—have made. They decided the State should pay less so you will pay more. This wrong—it must & CAN be fixed👇🏼

State funding to Ohio’s most popular schools (Public Schools) is now worse than when Ohio’s Public School Funding was originally deemed unconstitutional (1997) Translation: EVERYTHING has gotten worse under 3 decades of a Republican Supermajority here in Ohio’s State Government
Our public schools in Ohio are struggling — all while taxpayers send billions of dollars into an unaccountable voucher system. This isn’t a solution that benefits Ohio students. That’s why our agenda prioritizes fully funding public schools so that every child has the chance to succeed.

Ohio’s veterans deserve long-term solutions that ensure consistent, high-quality care at Ohio’s state-operated Veterans Homes. But currently, Ohio is spending millions on temporary nursing contracts to fill staffing shortages while waitlists for care continue to grow 👇🏼

Today, I pressed the Dept of Veterans Services about the cost of these temporary staffing contracts, whether staffing shortages are limiting admissions at Ohio Veterans Homes & what the state is doing to recruit & retain permanent nursing staff to address these issues long term

Ohio’s restaurant industry helps power local economies, create jobs & bring communities together over the dinner table. Glad to speak at the Ohio Restaurant Association’s Statehouse Day about workforce pipelines, small business priorities & how advocacy helps shape better policy

After losing their daughter Brenna unexpectedly to SUDEP, the Brossard family turned unimaginable grief into advocacy to help protect other families from experiencing the same loss. Yesterday, Rep Manning & I testified our bipartisan bill—The Brenna Brossard SUDEP Awareness Act👇🏼

Championed by the Brossard family in partnership with the @Epilepsy_Assn, @EpilepsyFdn , PAME & HarborPath Policy Council, the bill would strengthen SUDEP prevention by improving patient & provider education, support data reporting & expand access to seizure detection devices

Some of the most important conversations at the Statehouse happen around a small table, not a committee hearing. Thankful for the oncology nurses who came to share their experiences navigating Ohio’s healthcare system & the real-world impact our decisions can have on patient care

When educational opportunities & employers are aligned, students win —and so does our economy. Grateful to sit down with @CollegeNowGC & Greater Cleveland Partnership @GreaterCLE to learn more about how they are teaming up to make that connection real for students across NEO

Decisions about our schools, economy & future all start at the ballot box. And now the stakes are higher than ever. As a State Rep, I'm focused on ensuring Ohio elections are fair, accessible & worthy of the public’s trust—so our gov’t more closely reflects the people it serves

Cuyahoga County is home to 66K veterans & @UnitedWayCLE’s Help2Veterans program is leveraging 2-1-1 services to connect those veterans to food, housing, healthcare, job training & VA benefits—serving 4K in 2023. Great to join local partners highlighting this critical work! 🇺🇸

Ohio’s unpaid caregivers provide $15.5B in uncompensated care every year, supporting more than 200K Ohioans living with Alzheimers—and they deserve stronger support. Grateful to the advocates from @alzassociation who are making sure their voices are heard where decisions are made

At a time when scores are lagging, the legislature nearly cut literacy funding last budget to fund tax cuts for the wealthy. I’m glad DEW found the money to expand ReadOhio to 70 more schools, but true progress requires we fully commit to our students long-term #FairSchoolFunding

For years, 9410 Hough stood vacant as a symbol of disinvestment in CLE. Today, it’s a symbol of what’s possible. Proud to join partners at the ribbon cutting for a project that will bring 116 units of workforce housing, good-paying jobs & new opportunity to the Hough neighborhood
