NOTE TO CANDIDATES: Please be aware that this questionnaire will be published.

We've made great strides these past few years on jobs and the economy, but there is still much to do. I will fight everyday to ensure that the people of Ohio's 76th district have a partner in Columbus looking out for their interests. We need to continue to reform and streamline the tax code, cut burdensome regulation, and continue our aggressivepush to attract and grow new jobs. I will work with the Governor and my fellow legislators to ensure that only common sense, pro-growth legislation passes the General Assembly. Vital to our efforts to grow Ohio's economy, we must focus on preparing our students for the modern workforce. We must increase our efforts for science, technology, engineering and math education so our students can compete and succeed in the modern economy. Additionally, we should continue our investment in and expansion of vocational education. Skilled trades are in high demand, especially in Northeast Ohio, resulting in higher than average earning potential. I feel strongly that we should retain control over education at the state and local level. We have strong school boards in our state, and should continue to empower them to meet their local needs.

Finally, we must unify our party behind a positive agenda for moving our state forward if we want to continue our growth. We need to focus on our core principles - limited government, lower taxes, economic growth, freedom and liberty. We need to focus on the areas where we agree and can work together to offer a positive vision for Ohio. If we keep tearing each other apart, we are doing the Democrat's work for them and doing a grave disservice to our consituents and volunteers. We saw what four years of Democratic governance made in Ohio, and we must remain a strong, vibrant, positive party if we want to ensure there is no return to the days of stagnation, job loss and economic decline.

I am humbly asking for the people of Ohio's 76th House district to elect me because I have the principles, temperment and experience to be an effective legislator and partner. My campaign has been focused on serving my fellow Northeast Ohioans, not ideological crusades or tearing down my opponents. I believe the constituents and elected officials throughout the district deserve a partner, advocate and voice in Columbus. We have a wonderful and decidated representative on the federal level, but our district has not had such representation at the state level for quite a few years now. I plan to be just that - a representative of the district, not an elected official too aloof to listen to the concerns of my constituents. Like many throughout the district, I am guided by the conservative principles that make our party great - limited government, lower taxation, the sanctity of life and the inviolable right to bear arms. Through my experience in the nonprofit world, I have come to appreciate the solemn responsibility that comes with spending other people's money. I also understand the real world implications of budget cuts, and the responsibility required when determining which programs are funded and which are not. Prior to my nonprofit work, I spent nearly six years working in political advocacy and communications. During that time, I gained an appreciation for the nuances of legislative and regulatory policies, the challenges of successfully passing legislation, and the critical need to work collaboratively and, occassionally, compromise.

In short, I believe I am the most qualified candidate to effectively represent the people of Ohio's 76th House District.
