On the Issues

Unlike my opponent, who voted against the infrastructure bill that ultimately is bringing the $20 billion Intel investment to Ohio. I will use wisdom in making decisions about the bills I vote in favor of, regardless of which administration introduces them, if they will benefit the people of Ohio. We are facing a global microchip shortage. Intel is building 2 new plants that will pay an average salary of $135,000, and bring good union-paying jobs and a tax base of 10,000 jobs to Ohio (factory jobs, equipment technicians, engineers, and business support staff), but Davidson voted against the bill because it was initiated by President Biden. This is the single largest private investment that the state has ever seen, but he voted against it, That’s like shooting your nose off to spite your face. This investment will make Ohio the world’s top semiconductor supplier. Not to mention the multiplier effect, and the jobs that will spring up around it. I will identify opportunities to promote quality public education, vocational training, and higher education, lower healthcare cost, economic development, and the advancement of technology, and I will fight to ensure that Ohio’s 8th district is informed about the resources that will promote our well-being and economic advancement. My opponent is an elitist who believes that if a child is born into a poor family they should not have access to higher education, or the ability to leave the cycle of poverty. As the first in my family to graduate from college, I take issue with that line of thinking. We are the land of opportunity, and we live in a meritorious society and we believe that children should not be relegated to a life of poverty, simply because of the zip code they were born in.

Warren Davidson is backward thinking and lacks critical thinking skills. His regressive policies supported the FCC and the Trump administration in creating barriers to communication. Most of us have become accustomed to the use of technology as part of our daily lives. We use the internet to pay our bills, watch movies, and communicate with the outside world through email, text messaging, and social media platforms (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Snap Chat). The Internet superhighway is as germane to us as the expressways we travel to move from place to place. As Americans, we value today’s technology, which brings us closer to our children, grandchildren, and family members far and near. The internet opens the door of opportunity and makes the world more accessible. Many of us work or attend school online. Like many of the decisions made during the Trump Administration, the repeal of Net Neutrality set America back 68 years. We cannot afford to walk backward in time. Our competitive future and our position in the global community depend on our ability to continue to advance, and we need an educated populace and progressive ideas to move forward and guard against regression.
