A Fresh Voice. A Fairer Future.

What happened at Cedar Point is deeply concerning. Families and children, should never have to experience that kind of behavior in a public, family-focused space.

However, a person was victimized in this incident, and that should be at the center of how we talk about it. The focus should remain on the individual who committed the act and ensuring accountability through the legal process.

Everyone who visits or works in our community deserves to feel safe and respected, and when those standards are violated, there must be adequate accountability through the legal system.

As someone from Sandusky, I want Cedar Point and all of our public spaces to remain places where anyone can enjoy themselves without fear or disruption.

Police say the 18-year-old approached the woman from behind and exposed her body to onlookers, including children, at Cedar Point.

Tomorrow is the last day of the month, and we need your help to reach our fundraising goal!

This campaign is taking on the status quo and fighting for working families across House District 89, but we can only do it with the support of people who believe our communities deserve better representation.

Every dollar helps us reach more voters, attend more events, print more literature, and continue building the grassroots movement that will win this race.

We’re counting on supporters to step up before the month ends. If you’ve been thinking about donating, now is the time.

🇺🇸 Chip in today and help us finish the month strong. Together, we can bring real change to District 89.

Running for Ohio House was not an easy choice for me, but it certainly was the right one.

Like many people in our district, I grew tired of watching working families get ignored while politicians focus on special interests instead of the issues people deal with every day like rising costs, soaring housing prices, crumbling roads, and schools that are falling behind. I believe it is time we have leaders who put our communities first and who actually show up for our district.

Our campaign is powered by regular people who believe Erie, Ottawa, and Huron Counties deserve leadership that actually fights for them.

If you believe in what we are building together, we need your support. Every donation helps us reach more voters and keep this grassroots campaign moving forward.

🇺🇸 Today, we pause to remember the Americans who never made it home.

Across Erie, Ottawa, and Huron Counties, generations of young men and women left behind their families, farms, schools, factories, and neighborhoods to serve this country. Some were only teenagers, with many others barely any older. Many never got the chance to come back and build the lives they had planned.

From the Civil War to World War II, Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, and every conflict in between, our communities have felt the weight of that sacrifice. The names etched onto memorials in towns across our district are not just names from history books. They were neighbors, classmates, coworkers, sons, daughters, parents, and friends.

Memorial Day is about honoring those individuals and recognizing the cost of war carried by military families for generations afterward. It is because of their sacrifice that we are able to gather freely with the people we love, speak openly, and participate in our democracy.

As we attend parades, ceremonies, cookouts, and community events this weekend, I hope we all take a quiet moment to reflect on the lives that were lost and the families who continue to carry that loss every day.

To every Gold Star family and every family in Erie, Ottawa, and Huron Counties who has lost a loved one in service to our country, we remember them today and always.

May we never forget their sacrifice. 🕊️

🇺🇸 As Memorial Day gets closer, we are taking a look back at the history of Erie and Ottawa Counties, and the local gentlemen who never made it back from the Civil War.

When the battles broke out, hundreds of men from Sandusky, Huron, Port Clinton, Elmore, and many other local communities left their families, farms, and shops behind to head down south.

Some were just teenagers, like 18-year-old Jacob Beecher from Erie County. Others were leaders who died right alongside their men, like Colonel John Toland, who was killed while commanding the 34th Ohio Infantry. Ottawa County lost many brave souls as well, and we still look back at their courage and sacrifice over a century and a half later.

It is easy to focus on the long weekend and barbecues, but these two counties paid a heavy price for the freedoms we have today.

Please take a second to read through a few of the names of the local men from Erie and Ottawa Counties who gave everything:

• Col. John T. Toland (Erie Co.)
• Thomas Neill, Jr. (Erie Co.)
• Foster Neill (Erie Co.)
• Jacob M. Beecher (Erie Co.)
• Sgt. William H. Snyder (Erie Co.)
• Pvt. George W. Brooks (Erie Co.)
• Orrin H. Abbott (Ottawa Co.)
• Alonzo Aldrich (Ottawa Co.)
• Andrew Allyn (Ottawa Co.)
• Benjamin Alspaugh (Ottawa Co.)
• Lyman Ames (Ottawa Co.)

May they never be forgotten. 🕊️
