Janet Garrett

Drug Policy

The opioid crisis is tearing families apart across the country. Every single day in Ohio, 14 people overdose on opioids -- and this number is only rising. Janet supports programs that are designed to heal addicts and protect society, including funding for treatment and rehabilitation, community organizing, and public education campaigns. Learn more

Economy

Agriculture is vital to the people of Ohio. By supporting family farms, working to streamline government regulations, and defending fair trade agreements, we can ensure the prosperity of Ohio’s agriculture sector for years to come. And Janet believes we must end the trade war that is crippling our family farmers. Learn more

Education

We need to fix our school funding formula to make sure the quality of your education isn’t determined by your ZIP code, implement universal preschool and early childhood education, and give more autonomy to teachers in the classroom -- including allowing them to teach our children for the future, not for a test.

Government Reform

Congress must pass the Voting Rights Advancement Act and ensure the fair and just protection of minorities and senior voters that Republicans work so hard to exclude. The future of our democracy depends on every American citizen’s right to vote, regardless of where they live or how much money they have. Learn more

Guns

Janet is committed to fighting for common sense reform that will prohibit domestic abusers from owning guns and put a stop to the 50 women a month who are shot and killed in the U.S. by a domestic partner. And Janet believes it is long past time for women to get equal pay for equal work. In Congress, she will fight for equal pay, stand up to attacks on women’s health care, and improve protections for women who are the victims of harassment and sexual assault. Learn more

Healthcare

Every American should have affordable health insurance through Medicare or private insurance. Janet is ready to take on insurance companies and big pharmaceutical companies to pass Medicare for All, so that affordable, quality healthcare is a reality for everyone. Learn more

Infrastructure / Transportation

Ohio has an infrastructure crisis. 362 dams across the state are at “high hazard.” Nearly 2,000 bridges across the state are structurally deficient. A 21st century infrastructure plan will create thousands of jobs and strengthen our economy for generations to come. In Congress, Janet Garrett will be a voice for fixing Ohio's roads and bridges, protecting our hospitals and schools, and for expanding the promise of the 21st century economy. Learn more
