Positions
Economy & Taxes
The candidate emphasizes reducing the deficit, easing individual debt burdens, lowering costs (healthcare, energy, goods), restoring Congressional oversight of tariffs, and helping small businesses by cutting red tape. The campaign materials critique tax cuts for the wealthy but do not propose specific tax-rate changes or new tax policies. Overall, the campaign presents centrist fiscal priorities without a clear advocacy for major tax increases or broad tax-cut programs.
Healthcare
Supports increasing access to affordable health insurance, protecting patients’ relationships with doctors, limiting insurance companies’ control over medical decisions, and expanding access without increasing the national debt. Emphasizes preserving coverage and funding medical research based on personal experience as a cancer survivor.

Immigration & Border
Supports humane, bipartisan solutions that combine a pathway to legal status for longtime undocumented residents with due-process-based removals for recent illegal entrants; favors securing the border through technology, personnel, and infrastructure rather than mass roundups; calls for fixing legal immigration pathways and protecting workers’ wages and due process rights.
Public Safety & Guns
Supports expanded background checks (including closing the Charleston loophole and universal checks for private sales), safe-storage requirements and liability, red flag (extreme risk protection) laws with due process, and strengthening NICS reporting while opposing a national gun registry; also affirms respect for Ohio hunting and shooting traditions.
