The Plan
The Statehouse should work for families.
These are the pillars Ukeme will focus on to strengthen communities and move Ohio forward. Let’s R.I.S.E.
R
Real Tax Relief
For decades, the Statehouse has failed to properly fund public education, and homeowners have been paying the price.
Rising property taxes aren’t a coincidence. They’re the result of a system that shifted its responsibility from the State onto families and local communities.
I will fight for fair, constitutional school funding so homeowners finally get real, lasting tax relief. No more temporary fixes or election-year gimmicks.
I
Invest In Our Communities
Local governments are being asked to do more with less, and residents are paying the price.
I’ve seen firsthand what happens when the state passes down mandates without resources.
I will push back against unfunded mandates and fight for state investments that strengthen communities, including:
- Investing in housing so families and seniors can stay in their communities and new homeowners can move into communities
- Lowering childcare and energy costs that make the cost of living unaffordable
- Supporting small businesses so communities can have vibrant and thriving main streets
- Upgrading the aging infrastructure that our communities rely on every day
Strong communities require a state government that acts as a partner
S
Support Public Schools
Every child in District 7 deserves access to a great public school.
But for years, the Statehouse has drained funding through voucher programs that send taxpayer dollars to private schools with little accountability, leaving public schools behind.
I will fight to stop the voucher drain, reinvest in public education, and ensure teachers and students have the resources they need to succeed.
Because when public schools are strong, communities are strong.
E
Effective Leadership
Over the last four years on City Council, I’ve brought people together to solve complex problems and deliver results.
That’s the leadership I’ll bring to the Statehouse.
I will work with anyone who is serious about getting things done. I’m not interested in political games or scoring points. I’m focused on results that make life better for families, seniors, and small businesses in District 7
