I am a resident of Ohio, living in poverty. Like many others, I am part of the real crises and negative statistics that are blatantly ignored - low wages, reliance on government assistance, the struggles of the manufacturing workforce. Our tax dollars fund endless wars and corporations privatize their profits while socializing their losses on our dime. The inaction of Congress has directly impacted me.

I am now running( Independent party) for The House of Representatives in Ohio’s 5th district to represent my fellow Ohioans and advocate for systemic change at a national level. I want to trim our bloated military budget to ensure all Americans have medical coverage - an essential right that should not be denied due to financial constraints.

I believe every job should provide a livable wage. In 2019, nearly 14% of Ohioans lived below the poverty line (source: U.S Census Bureau), struggling with low wages that do not meet living standards. It's time we raise our minimum wage so no one is left behind.

Our tax dollars need to be invested wisely – improving life rather than taking it away through warfare or corporate bailouts. YOUR needs will come first when decisions about these funds are made.

Let’s be the change we wish to see in our district and beyond by advocating for progress towards life, liberty, happiness – values deeply embedded within us as Americans but often overlooked by those who represent us.

Sign this petition if you believe it's time for systemic change and progress in Ohio's 5th district!
