High property taxes are not inevitable, they are a choice. A choice that elected republicans—who have had total control at the statehouse for over a decade—have made. They decided the State should pay less so you will pay more.
This wrong—it must & CAN be fixed👇🏼
Today, I pressed the Dept of Veterans Services about the cost of these temporary staffing contracts, whether staffing shortages are limiting admissions at Ohio Veterans Homes & what the state is doing to recruit & retain permanent nursing staff to address these issues long term
Ohio’s veterans deserve long-term solutions that ensure consistent, high-quality care at Ohio’s state-operated Veterans Homes.
But currently, Ohio is spending millions on temporary nursing contracts to fill staffing shortages while waitlists for care continue to grow 👇🏼
Ohio’s restaurant industry helps power local economies, create jobs & bring communities together over the dinner table. Glad to speak at the Ohio Restaurant Association’s Statehouse Day about workforce pipelines, small business priorities & how advocacy helps shape better policy
From seasonal allergies to medical emergencies, pediatric physicians help guide families through some of the most important moments in a child’s life. Thankful for the conversation with @UH_RBCResidents about policies shaping the future of pediatric care & access in Ohio
Championed by the Brossard family in partnership with the @Epilepsy_Assn, @EpilepsyFdn , PAME & HarborPath Policy Council, the bill would strengthen SUDEP prevention by improving patient & provider education, support data reporting & expand access to seizure detection devices
After losing their daughter Brenna unexpectedly to SUDEP, the Brossard family turned unimaginable grief into advocacy to help protect other families from experiencing the same loss. Yesterday, Rep Manning & I testified our bipartisan bill—The Brenna Brossard SUDEP Awareness Act👇🏼
Programs like OhioRISE and Mobile Response & Stabilization Services (MRSS) are helping connect children & families to behavioral health care before crises escalate. Grateful for the conversation with @OhioGuidestone today about the need to prioritize timely care & coordination
Proud to be recognized by @GreaterOhio alongside Chair @BrianStewartOH as a defender of Ohio’s Brownfield Remediation Program & for securing $200M in the state budget—funding used to transform abandoned properties into new housing, greenspace & economic opportunity for Ohioans🏗️
Some of the most important conversations at the Statehouse happen around a small table, not a committee hearing. Thankful for the oncology nurses who came to share their experiences navigating Ohio’s healthcare system & the real-world impact our decisions can have on patient care
When educational opportunities & employers are aligned, students win —and so does our economy. Grateful to sit down with @CollegeNowGC & Greater Cleveland Partnership @GreaterCLE to learn more about how they are teaming up to make that connection real for students across NEO
Decisions about our schools, economy & future all start at the ballot box. And now the stakes are higher than ever.
As a State Rep, I'm focused on ensuring Ohio elections are fair, accessible & worthy of the public’s trust—so our gov’t more closely reflects the people it serves
What started as a shared vision among Cleveland nonprofit leaders is now a 9.5 acre campus home to 50+ organizations at @fairhillpartner
Bringing services together isn’t just more efficient, it helps build bridges and strengthens how we support aging & caregiving in our community
Cuyahoga County is home to 66K veterans & @UnitedWayCLE’s Help2Veterans program is leveraging 2-1-1 services to connect those veterans to food, housing, healthcare, job training & VA benefits—serving 4K+ in 2023. Great to join local partners highlighting this critical work! 🇺🇸
Ohio’s unpaid caregivers provide $15.5B in uncompensated care every year, supporting more than 200K Ohioans living with Alzheimers—and they deserve stronger support. Grateful to the advocates from @alzassociation who are making sure their voices are heard where decisions are made
At a time when scores are lagging, the legislature nearly cut literacy funding last budget to fund tax cuts for the wealthy. I’m glad DEW found the money to expand ReadOhio to 70 more schools, but true progress requires we fully commit to our students long-term #FairSchoolFunding
Just 52 students were selected for this year’s All-Ohio Academic Team recognizing Ohio’s top community college scholars. Proud to say Mona Shaban of OHD16 & a student at @TriCedu is among them! A well-deserved honor & reflection of the talent growing right here in our community📚
For years, 9410 Hough stood vacant as a symbol of disinvestment in CLE. Today, it’s a symbol of what’s possible. Proud to join partners at the ribbon cutting for a project that will bring 116 units of workforce housing, good-paying jobs & new opportunity to the Hough neighborhood
$45M in state TRAC funding was just approved for 2 key Cuyahoga projects: repairing RTA rail & the I-71/Snow Rd interchange. Investments like these matter—because whether you’re getting to work, catching a flight, or running your business, Ohio needs infrastructure that works 🚉
Great to see the @West_Shore_CTD MEMS lab in action at Lakewood HS! This first-in-the-state program is giving students early access to cutting-edge Micro-Electromechanical Systems training & helping students build pathways to high-skill, high-wage careers right here in NEO 👩🏻🔬
