Advocating for the Disability Community
I respect the unique experiences of people with disabilities and work in the Senate to make sure every Ohioan has access to the care and resources they need.

Ensuring Quality Education for our Children
Every student deserves a community that supports their education. I’m troubled by the lack of oversight and transparency of many charter schools -- and will continue pushing for accountability.

Safeguarding Consumers
The last thing Ohioans need is for politicians to turn back the clock to the days when Wall Street was free to prey on working families, wreck the economy, and hand taxpayers the bill.Read more →
Standing Up for American Workers
We want more trade—Ohio businesses, including our auto supply chain, rely on trade with our neighbors. But trade should happen on a truly level playing field, and that’s not what we have right now.Read more →
Strengthening Our National Security

Supporting the African American Community

Women’s Rights
We have made great strides toward a more level playing field for Ohio women. I am proud to have helped pass the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act and been an original cosponsor of the Paycheck Fairness Act. But we still have work to do.Read more →
