Get StartedWomen’s healthcare is an essential component of our nation’s healthcare system. Our government gives hundreds of millions of dollars a year to Planned Parenthood, which has 650 facilities nationwide, many of which do not offer women proper healthcare services. Instead of paying hundreds of millions of dollars to the abortion industry, I will support legislation that will redirect these funds to the 13,000 non-abortion providing Federally Qualified Health Centers.

Laws passed per our Constitutional system of government must be enforced. We must never offer amnesty to illegal aliens who broke the rule of law to cut the line. Learn more
But instead of working with police to find meaningful solutions to ensure this never happens again, some radicals want to defund the police. This is a reckless policy that would endanger all Americans. The police will never be abolished under my watch in Congress. That’s why I’m the only candidate in this race endorsed by the International Union of Police Associations. Additionally, as a state representative, I fought for presumptive care for firefighters and I will do the same in Congress. Learn more
What happened to George Floyd in Minneapolis this year was a horrendous tragedy. It was inexcusable, despicable, and should never happen in the United States of America. But, the overwhelming majority of our police and law enforcement officers are amazing examples of public servants who put their lives on the line every day to protect us. Learn more
Over the last two decades, our country has spent trillions of dollars rebuilding foreign countries instead of our own. Our country should create peace dividends and use funds currently spent on foreign countries and spend them on our own country to rebuild our infrastructure, educate our children, and invest in our future.

It’s been almost 20 years since 9/11, and the government still hasn’t fully implemented the recommendations offered in the 9/11 Commission to keep our country safe. As your next Congresswoman, I demand the government carries out the recommendations from the 9/11 Commission including fully functioning biometric exit-entry system, sharing information between federal and state governments, visa security units in embassies overseas, a physical barrier on the border, a secure identification system, tighter controls on student visas, increasing global standards for travel documents, and a layered security system.

Education equality for every student regardless of race, creed, or zip code. We should also recognize all forms of higher education to encompass real-world opportunities such as obtaining education and careers in the skilled trades. One doesn’t have to go to college to be successful. There are many options. We need to invest more heavily in apprenticeship programs, teaching students a trade, which will receive a better ROI than saddling them with insurmountable student debt. Learn more
We must kick the rust off of the so-called rust belt. Since President Trump eliminated the TPP and instituted a more effective and efficient EPA, Ohio has begun realizing growth in energy output. In many ways, the federal government can also restore the state’s rights to define the energy portfolio that best fits their state economy and energy demands. Ohio has a long term opportunity to be a leading exporter of natural gas. We should support this renaissance in our state to show the nation what energy independence can do for the American economy, our local supply chains, and our overall position in the world. Learn more
America is a global leader that provides safety and security to the world. President Trump has done a great job of making allies pay more for their protection. We must continue to stand with allies, especially Israel, Poland, and Australia, in ensuring the world is safe and stable. Learn more
There is no right that is more fundamental to the character of America than the right to bear arms. Without this right, America would have been unable to defend itself against the British during the American Revolution. The right to protect yourself and your family is not just a constitutional right, but also a God-given one. Learn more
Businesses are allowed to take these deductions, so why wouldn’t Congress allow individuals the same exemptions? As we allow the free market to provide insurance coverage opportunities to companies and individuals, we must also make sure that no one slips through the cracks simply because they cannot afford insurance. We must review basic options for Medicaid and work with states to ensure that those who want health care coverage can have it. Learn more
Congress will need the courage to step away from the special interests and do what is right for America. Though the pharmaceutical industry is in the private sector, drug companies provide a public service. Allowing consumers access to imported, safe, and dependable drugs from overseas will bring more options to consumers. Learn more
As long as the plan purchased complies with state requirements, any vendor ought to be able to offer protection in any state. By allowing full competition in this market, insurance costs will go down, and consumer satisfaction will go up. Learn more
Any immigration plan must improve jobs, wages, and security for all Americans first and foremost. Our immigration model is outdated and needs to be focused on bringing employers, entrepreneurs, and investors who can help our citizens rather than compete with them for areas of limited jobs. Learn more
There must be a wall across the southern border. Not only will this stop the flow of illegal drugs but also criminal gangs like MS-13 from entering our nation and destroying our social fabric. Learn more
One of the main reasons Northeast Ohio is not growing as fast as other parts of the country is our infrastructure lacks the investment needed to be competitive. If elected, I will reach across the aisle and sponsor a thorough infrastructure bill that will bring Northeast Ohio into the 21st century. Learn more
Our national debt clock has recently exceeded $23 trillion, putting Americans at an all-time high disadvantage. Learn more
If elected, I will vote to make the middle-class tax cuts featured in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 permanent. Learn more
Financial Literacy is a skill that Congress should be fluent in. Their irresponsible money management is something that affects not only our national security but also the ins and outs of our daily lives. Congress allows for about $4 trillion a year in spending, although they bring in almost half a trillion less than that in revenue. Learn more
Christina proudly cut government excess to achieve a balanced state budget amid a historical 17% budget deficit. She plans on taking that mentality to Washington and reducing our deficit spending. Learn more
Pass a Balanced Budget Amendment to ensure we balance the budget going into the future. Learn more
A vital part of restoring the Middle Class is trying to raise wages for workers. Under President Trump, we’ve had a blue-collar recovery where low-skilled workers have seen wages rise. Still, more must be done. We can use the free-market to benefit our workers. We should push for tighter labor markets, freezing any expansion on H2-b visas, and penalize companies that replace Americans with foreigners. Learn more
