Issues

We believe that public education is the solution to all of the world's problems.  Public schools are currently under appreciated, devalued, and under attack.  These are the steps we will take to protect our valuable resource; 

• Adam will fight to overturn the school voucher program and also ensure that all charter schools are held to the same standards. 
• Adam will fight to bring MORE resources into our public schools; not less.  
• Adam will fight for teachers and the teacher's unions.   
• Adam will fight to bring more mental health awareness and supports into our schools.   
• Adam will form a coalition of educators to rework the unconstitutional school funding system in Ohio.
• Adam will work to establish educational opportunities for parents and children under the age of 5 so students in under-privileged areas have a better chance at being successful in school.  

We are lucky to have such a diverse group of businesses in Lake County but we must continue to bring good paying jobs into our communities.   If we expect to remain competitive throughout the State and Country, we must look to the future.   By establishing business relationships throughout the state/country, we will utilize our natural resources and attractive location to bring in 21st century job opportunities to ensure we keep our talented young people in Lake County.  

Health Care is NOT a luxury!   ALL Ohio citizens should have the ability to access affordable health care.   We often  take for granted the costs of medical procedures and prescriptions until we no longer are covered by an insurance plan.   In Ohio, 614,000 currently do not have health insurance and are one medical issue away from bankruptcy, further health complications or even worse.  

• We support an expansion of the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare), a new government option to even the playing field, or Universal Health Care. 
• We support ensuring that health care and prescription costs are provided at reasonable prices.   No one should be making millions/billions in profit for providing basic necessities to the citizens in Ohio. 
• We support the belief that the quality of healthcare you are receiving should not be based on the economic situation of your community.   We all deserve adequate health care regardless if we come from a rich area or an impoverished area. 

The citizens of our community deserve good paying jobs with good benefits.    They also deserve to be protected.  We need to support our labor unions to ensure that our workers are safe, well, and able to provide for their families.  

Not only is Lake Erie beautiful, it brings in millions of dollars in revenue through leisure, tourism, entertainment, and industry.  The lake also provides some of the most beautiful parks and beaches in the entire world.   Along with our other natural resources, we must take drastic steps to protect them so that future generations can utilize and enjoy them like we do today. 

Adam's work in the public school system has made him very aware of the mental health epidemic that is facing our country.  Parents are forced to work more to make ends meet.   Families are living without health care.  Drug addiction is on the rise.   Stress in the world is leading to family separation and neglect.  People are unable to keep up with the ever growing demands of society. 

Mental health is an invisible disorder that is affecting a growing number of our citizens and this needs to be addressed.  These are steps that must be taken: 

• Better jobs and better benefits will help alleviate some of the stress in our households. 
• Better healthcare will allow people to get the help they need, when they need it, rather than going without treatment.  
• Better educational opportunities will let people follow their passions rather than chasing dollars. 
• By addressing mental health at an earlier age we can help teach better coping strategies to our young people and remove the stigma to mental and emotional distress. 

Adam will fight for all of these things in Columbus.
