To serve ALL the people of our community.

No matter what your race, religion, sex, national origin or sexual preference is, all of us in the House District 33 are concerned about Job Creation, Business Development, Fighting Crime, Home Ownership and Education.

Increasing the State's Business Development in the House District 33 is my top priority. The House District 33 needs more and better paying job opportunities. Businesses in the House District 33 are needed to help create and provide better jobs.

Violent Crime has been a major issue in the House District 33 for years and growing worse. The State needs to provide assistance to the County and the various local cities and townships to address this issue.

Homeownership is the single largest investment the typical American family will make in their lifetime. It is the single largest investment that the typical American family will use for their retirement. However, high interest rates and increasing home prices have caused homeowners to take on more debt than they can afford. Thus, forcing more families into foreclosure. The State, along with the County and municipalities in the district, needs to work to assist families to achieve the American Dream of owning a home they can afford to buy and take care of. We need to look at incentives and projects that will rebuild and renew both our inner city neighborhoods and our older suburbs.

Our method of school funding was ruled unconstitutional years ago. The Senate has ignored the issue. Fair and adequate funding of all Ohio Schools is urgently needed, now. The voucher program as it exists today is a step in the right direction, but it is far from perfect. The program needs to be reviewed and updated. The State Legislature cannot continue to ignore the issue. With all Ohio schools properly funded, the voucher program can then be updated further.

If I am elected your Representative for the House District 33, I will work to achieve these goals and work for the benefit of all my constituents.
