Source topic or question: Housing, Land Use, and Zoning+

Ohio’s zoning and land use regime is one of the most significant obstacles to the economic revitalization of its cities and one of the most underappreciated drivers of housing unaffordability, sprawl, and urban decay. We will transform it.

I will push for anti-discrimination laws so Ohioans aren’t unjustly fired from their job or denied housing, other public accommodations, or equal pay because of their race, gender, sexual orientation, or religion. As governor, I will be focused on bringing our communities together, not on sowing hatred and division; every Ohioan deserves to live freely and be treated with dignity.

Candidate campaign source

We must legalize construction. The foundational principle is that land use should reflect the genuine character and needs of a place. Make it easier for people to build housing and businesses and mixed use and mixed density construction anywhere in Ohio. Sometimes that means preempting local laws. People must be allowed to do what they want with their property.

Ohio will adopt a use-classification system built around intensity rather than use type. The key question for any piece of land is not “is this residential or commercial” but “what intensity of activity is appropriate here, and what genuinely incompatible uses: (heavy industry, hazardous materials) need to be separated.” Within intensity tiers, a wide range of uses will be permitted as of right. A building that is residential above and retail below should be legal everywhere in an urban area without a variance. A small workshop or studio integrated into a mixed neighborhood should not require a special permit. Density, more housing units per acre, more floors per building, should be legal in more places.

Source topic or question: Improvement and Innovation

Candidate campaign source

Improvement is Building a Better Future.It is the spirit of National Improvement, the vision of leaders like Henry Clay and John Quincy Adams. It is the belief that we prosper when we invest in ourselves; our people, our communities, and our country.We invest in what connects us. Roads, railways, airports, telecommunications; the infrastructure and networks that allows us to work together and achieve more than any one person could alone.We invest in where we live. Strong cities and thriving villages. Affordable housing. Clean air and water. Stewardship of our land and natural resources that belong to all and future generations.We build. Great works that transform millions of lives, and small improvements that make everyday life better. We invest in discovery. Progress comes from innovation, through science, engineering, trial and error. We learn. Research institutions, moonshots, universities, community colleges, and schools; laying the foundation for anyone to climb higher and achieve more. The sort of Improvement that Clay and Adams and further back to our Founders believed in was not just National Improvement but the Improvement of Ourselves. That’s the idea behind this country, that people will be free to pursue their dreams and rise above. That’s the power of democracy and liberty: the freedom to explore who we are and strive for more.Self-Improvement. It’s the heart of this movement. It’s about people investing in themselves and each other. Gaining new skills, imagining new possibilities, being better neighbors, friends, and family. Prospering by our own hands, our own talents. And as we improve ourselves, we improve our communities. A strong nation isn’t just built by policy or government, it’s built by the choices we make every day. By how we support one another. Because no matter who is running the show, we can control and are responsible for our own lives. Yeah, our government may be corrupt and incompetent, but we can still be better and do better and that will matter a whole lot more and it will eventually trickle through to every institution. We create the fabric of our nation by the lives we lead, not who we vote for. This is a campaign for the governorship of Ohio but it is also a campaign to mobilize thousands of people to work to improve themselves and their communities and that will be 1000x more impactful, in the end, regardless of the outcome.

Parking minimums, requirements that new development include a certain number of parking spaces per unit or per square foot, will be eliminated statewide. They make construction more expensive, they consume land that could be used for housing or commerce,they mandate car-centric design in areas that would otherwise support walking and transit. Developers who want to build parking will build it. Mandating it for everyone regardless of context is bad policy. Allow cities to develop to what the people and the market would arrive at on their own.

We will preempt local zoning ordinances that block missing-middle housing, duplexes, triplexes, small apartment buildings, in areas already served by existing infrastructure. Exclusionary zoning is not a legitimate exercise of local autonomy; it is the use of government power to prevent people from living somewhere, and it imposes costs on the entire region. The state will act to end it. Accessory dwelling units will be legal on any residential property in Ohio.

We will build the infrastructure of care that Ohio currently lacks. This means a significant expansion of community mental health centers and outpatient psychiatric services, accessible and affordable in every part of the state. It means more residential treatment capacity for serious mental illness. It means accessible addiction treatment including medication-assisted treatment. It means permanent supportive housing for those with chronic mental illness or disability who need ongoing support to live stably. And it means robust case management: people who help individuals navigate housing,benefits, healthcare, and employment, and who maintain relationships with them over time.

In addition to providing free electricity for local residents, my plan would also deliver property tax relief to Ohioans within the benefit zone – by prohibiting property tax abatements for future data centers and creating a property tax rebate for Ohio homeowners. That is, data centers would be required to pay 100% of their property taxes without abatements, and these property tax revenues would directly fund property tax rebates for homeowners. This helps deliver major property tax relief for Ohio families without hurting local police, schools, or firemen – and may become essential with a looming ballot initiative to eliminate property taxes expected in 2027.

That means supporting economic growth for Ohio’s workers, while ensuring that we do it in a way that helps all Ohioans. In sum, my administration will eliminate electricity costs and reduce property taxes for homeowners, while also ensuring that all environmental laws are respected and that farmland is preserved. No data center will be built in Ohio without actualizing these commitments. I look forward to signing legislation in early 2027 to turn this vision into reality.
