Read the answers from all candidates (who have responded).

Questions & Answers

1. What are the two most pressing issues you will face if you are elected? (50 word limit)

1. State Budget- making sure tax money is used in a clean, honest & efficient manor for all Ohioans
2. Keep lobbyists from fouling up good legislation

2. How will you address each of those issues? (100 word limit)

I will devote my term to make Ohio a friendly and practical state for independent business and all its citizens. I will try to reign-in the arrogant bureaucracies, restore controls to the P.U.C.O, find funding for schools somewhere other than property taxes and get the state out of the retail liquor business. I WILL bring Ohio into the 21st Century.

3. What role should the state play in updating Ohio's aging infrastructure, such as roads, bridges, and transit services and equipment, in order to promote economic revitalization? (100 word limit)

If the funding is available, the state should be working with the federal government to improve our infrastructure. We cannot defecit-spend our way out this mess, however, so proper budgeting is necessary and will only contribute to the betterment of the state when it comes to economic revitalization.

4. What role do state legislators have in reforming health care in the U.S.? (100 word limit)

It's obvious that with 47 million Americans uninsured, we are in need of healthcare reforms. I will work with Governor Strickland to weigh the options and make the best decision not only for Ohioans, but for our country as a whole.
