Doctor, advocate, girl from Y-Town. Running for Governor to fight for Ohioans who are struggling and give power back to the people. It’s time for a change.

In Southeast Ohio, I heard about the impossible choices farmers are making—working off-farm jobs just to afford healthcare, struggling with the high cost of childcare, and worrying about what another dry season could mean for their livelihood. Ohio can do better.

Farm stop number 2! Thrilled to be in Athens yesterday. Agriculture is Ohio’s largest industry, and farmers deserve a governor who works every day to lower costs and hear their concerns. That’s why I’m traveling all across the state to listen to the farmers who know it best.

I had the incredible opportunity to tour the Iron Workers Local 550 Training Center and see firsthand the work that goes into training Ohio's next generation of skilled workers.

So grateful to have the support of The Ohio Iron Workers Association! Growing up in a union family in Youngstown, I have seen the role unions play in our local economies and supporting Ohio’s workforce.

As a result of systemic state underfunding of our public schools, several rounds of re-appraisals, market forces, and our corrupt Statehouse giving tax breaks to the wealthy, property taxes have drastically spiked for Ohioans across the state in recent years.

Jeff and I have known each other since our residency in Ohio more than 30 years ago. We've cared for patients together, faced difficult moments together, and never lost sight of why we became doctors in the first place.

Every single one of us is one healthcare emergency away from losing everything we've worked for our entire lives. This is something that affects everyone. As governor, I will fight to protect Ohioans' access to affordable, reliable healthcare close to home.

Ohioans are tough. But when working hard isn’t enough to make ends meet, something has to change. As governor, I plan to bring that change by cutting your taxes, putting money back into your pockets, and fighting for working families.

As a doctor, I know healthcare only works if people can actually access it. Too many women in Ohio can't. Every woman deserves affordable, quality care at every stage of life. As governor, I'll make sure Ohioans can get the care they need, when they need it. ohiocapitaljournal.com/2026/07/01/s...

Study says 30% of women in Ohio didn't get needed reproductive care • Ohio Capital Journal

A new study shows a significant amount of Ohio women felt their reproductive health needs were “not being met” in previous years.

As a doctor, I'm encouraging Ohioans to pay attention to local air quality updates and take simple precautions if you're in an affected area—especially children, older adults, and anyone with asthma or other lung or heart conditions. www.cleveland.com/weather/2026...

Ohio issues statewide air quality advisory as Canadian wildfire smoke moves in

A statewide air quality advisory begins Thursday as Canadian wildfire smoke could push pollution to unhealthy levels across Ohio.

The problems we all face aren’t Republican or Democratic—they’re just problems that need to be solved. When I’m governor, I will lead by coming together to take on the tough challenges that have made life more expensive and harder for working families.

Ohioans deserve leaders who exercise good judgment and who put integrity first. Which is why I find it appalling that Vivek Ramaswamy accepted over $10,000 from Andrew Havas, a man who served jail time following allegations of sexual misconduct involving a minor.

Data centers in Ohio should never discharge their water usage into our lakes. Ohio families shouldn't have to worry about the quality of their air, their water, or the health of their communities because a billion-dollar company wants fewer rules.

In Ohio, we have 11 rural hospitals currently on the verge of collapse, moms who have to drive up to an hour to give birth, and millions of Ohioans dropping their healthcare coverage because they just can’t afford it.
