For the last ten years I’ve served as the Mayor and Safety Director of Maple Heights, where I’m proud to say I led the city’s economic turnaround. Upon taking office our city was in fiscal emergency and on the state’s official ‘fiscal watch’ list. I turned my living room into a war room and poured through the books so I could write our five year turnaround plan and it worked. Maple Heights has since been the recipient of numerous “Clean Audit” awards and is recognized as one of the state’s best partners.

I’m proud to announce my candidacy for Auditor to make Ohio a safe and affordable place to live for working families across the state. For too long our state government has been plagued with corruption that’s worked out well for special interests while leaving the rest of our state struggling with rising costs and communities like mine deprived of critical resources.
