Veterans, service members, and military families deserve the highest gratitude and respect our country can offer. We must ensure a high quality of life for those who are willing to protect and preserve our democracy, liberty, and freedoms. I served at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base as an officer for a decade and I know the realities facing military families and our veterans.

The system prioritizes profit over patient care and prevention, leading to inefficiencies and dramatically higher costs. In today’s system, insurance companies deny first, forcing American healthcare providers to spend time fighting insurance for basic needs, like insulin or chemotherapy. People can’t access the care they need, or simply can’t afford it. This makes us sicker and shifts the burden of healthcare costs away from the insurance companies and onto the taxpayers.
Reliable access to quality health care saves lives, promotes stable and healthy lifestyles, and provides security across the social and economic spectrum. People need access to affordable health care at every stage of life.

My faith guides me to advocate for policy that prioritizes a better future for our families. There is urgency in passing immediate legislation to help lower costs and make it more realistic for people to raise children and care for family members. Our children deserve a future far better than what Washington politicians want to normalize.

Washington is rigged for the wealthy and well-connected. Public service should not be a way to get rich. That’s why I’ll ban stock trading for members of Congress, end corporate PAC influence, pass term limits, protect voting rights, and shut down the revolving door that allows former members to cash in as lobbyists. We need to end elected officials enriching themselves while Ohio families struggle.

Costs are too high—housing, childcare, groceries, and energy—and families are being forced to make impossible choices to get by. I’ll cut taxes for working families, repeal harmful tariffs that raise prices, build more affordable housing, cap childcare costs, support eldercare, and lower energy bills by making big corporations—not Ohio families—pay for data center infrastructure.

No one should have to choose between paying rent or their mortgage and seeing a doctor. I believe healthcare is a right, and I will work toward Universal Coverage so families don’t have to choose between keeping a roof over their heads and affording care.
I’ll protect Medicaid, Medicare, CHIP, and the Affordable Care Act; support a public option to lower premiums and expand care; ban medical debt from wrecking people’s credit; invest in mental health care; and defend reproductive healthcare.
As a nurse practitioner, I’ve seen firsthand how lives improve when care is affordable and accessible. We must build public health infrastructure to make sure everyone has access to clean air, water, and resources that promote health.

Every neighborhood deserves to feel safe, and that starts with making sure our first responders have the support and resources they need to do their jobs. I’ll invest in law enforcement, fire departments, and prevention strategies that strengthen safety while building trust in our communities.
I’ll fight for more resources for our local first responders who know their communities best and have the best-in-class training.

As an Air Force veteran, I know the sacrifices our service members and military families make—and I know we can do better by them. I’ll fight to fully fund and protect the VA, defend and grow Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, support military families, and make sure every veteran has access to the healthcare, jobs, and stability they were promised.
