The Ohio State Legislature's solution is to raise the minimum wage to $11 an hour but Ohioans would need to make at least $22.50 an hour to comfortably afford a two-bedroom apartment.

I just voted to keep our promise to prevent tax hikes on America's families, lower their cost of living, secure our borders and bring sanity to the federal budget.

Federal premium subsidies for Affordable Care Act marketplace plans should be expanded.
Background
These subsidies lower the monthly cost of health plans bought on HealthCare.gov and state marketplaces. Expanding them would lower premiums for more buyers and increase federal spending.
This Saturday, 500,000 Ohioans will likely see their health insurance costs go up. Some of them will see it double and triple because Jon Husted has essentially done nothing.
The Republican budget law strengthens this effort by funding more border patrol agents, improving facilities, and boosting air and marine operations that intercept drug traffickers and vet foreign nationals entering the country.

Federal law should require background checks for all gun sales, including private sales.
Background
Federal law requires background checks for sales by licensed dealers but not for most sales between private individuals. This would extend the requirement to private sales.
Abortion laws should be set by each state rather than by Congress.
Background
Since the Supreme Court's 2022 Dobbs decision, each state sets its own abortion laws. Agreeing means Congress should not pass a national law that either expands or restricts access.
I am convinced that if the Democrats win the House - keep the House - and we pick up two Senators, we'll codify Roe v. Wade next year. That's really the plan.
That means... guaranteeing free abortion and recognizing that access to gender-affirming care is a healthcare decision that should be between a person and their doctor.

The federal government should limit greenhouse gas emissions from power plants.
Background
This would set federal limits on the carbon pollution power plants release. It concerns regulation by agencies such as the Environmental Protection Agency.
The U.S. should keep broad tariffs on imported goods.
Background
Tariffs are taxes paid on imported goods. Since 2025 the U.S. has applied tariffs to imports from most countries, and this statement is about keeping them in place.
I'm calling for a $1,336 refund for every Ohio household. The reckless tariffs ruled illegal by the Supreme Court cost Ohioans $6.5 billion, but Jon Husted supported them at every turn.

Our leaders should be trying to make it easier to vote, not creating unnecessary barriers that threaten the ability of hardworking Ohioans to vote early, mail in their ballots, or vote on Election Day.
A president should be able to send the National Guard into a state over its governor's objection.
Background
Governors normally command their state's National Guard, but federal law lets a president take control of it in some situations. Since 2025, the use of that power to send troops into cities has been challenged in court.
It's vital to our national security that we stand with Ukraine and Israel as they fight back against two of the biggest threats facing the world: Putin and Iranian-backed terrorists like Hamas.
