Legislative Updates

I believe that we should invest in our neighborhoods by creating more access to opportunities and increase safety all around. I have introduced legislation that will dismantle speed traps and unfair fines in areas around Columbus’ communities. I will continue to fight for this initiative locally and statewide.

I have supported legislation that aims to protect individuals against discrimination practices that could affect one’s livelihood. It is imperative that our friends and family feel a sense of inclusiveness in our communities.

I have signed onto legislation that supports equal employment policies. Such policies are the basis for a more equitable working environment and necessary to eliminate gender disparities within the workplace. I believe wholeheartedly that women should earn the same as their male counterparts.

I am a strong advocate of minimum wage reform. I have co-sponsored legislation, HB 86, to increase the minimum wage in Ohio to $10.10 per hour; the people of our great state need a sustainable and living wage.
