I use my platform to uplift causes that reflect my values—democracy, dignity, and sustainability. These are not just policy positions—they’re deeply personal issues that shape how I live, teach, and engage with the world. I hope you’ll explore these causes and consider how you might support them too.
🗳️ Ohio Ranked Choice Voting
Why it matters:
Our democracy works best when every vote counts and every voice is heard. Ranked Choice Voting (RCV) is a commonsense reform that gives voters more choice and promotes majority-supported outcomes. It helps reduce negative campaigning, empowers independent and moderate candidates, and strengthens public trust in elections.
What I support:
I support local communities having the freedom to adopt RCV where it makes sense—without interference from the state. Protecting Home Rule authority ensures that cities and counties can innovate and build elections that reflect local values.

🌿 Green Burial & Conservation Cemeteries in Ohio
Why it matters:
Green burial is a way to return to the Earth gently and responsibly. Unlike traditional burial or cremation, green burial avoids toxic chemicals and heavy resource use. It allows our final act to be one of ecological respect, and helps protect natural land for future generations.
What I support:
I support the growth of green and conservation burial options in Ohio, such as Foxfield Preserve, where nature, mourning, and legacy are honored together. These spaces offer meaning, reflection, and sustainability.

🌅 Ohio End of Life Options (Medical Aid in Dying)
Why it matters:
Autonomy and compassion should extend through the end of life. Medical Aid in Dying (MAID) laws allow terminally ill, mentally capable adults the option to end their suffering on their own terms. This isn’t about choosing death—it’s about choosing dignity.
What I support:
I support efforts to legalize Medical Aid in Dying in Ohio through Ohio End of Life Options, so that individuals facing a terminal illness can make the choices that are right for them. Everyone deserves control, comfort, and peace at the end of life.
