Don Kissick

We see the same reality in Ohio you do: too many of our institutions have become toxic, corrupt, financially self-serving, and far too comfortable with expanding their power without representing Ohioans. We grew tired of being told to pick our poison, so we decided to work toward becoming the antidote.

Ohioans should not have their movements routinely tracked, photographed, and stored simply for driving on public roads. While technology can assist law enforcement, public safety should never come at the expense of privacy, due process, and protection from warrantless surveillance. As Governor, Don would work with the General Assembly to restrict or prohibit government use of automated license-plate surveillance systems, establish strong limits on the collection and sharing of vehicle-location data, and prevent state resources from funding mass-surveillance networks. Ohioans should be treated like free people not suspects whose daily movements belong in a government-accessible database.

We are in favor of the end property tax amendment. We prefer to see local consumption based funding. We can balance the budget and eliminate corporate welfare for the larger institutions saving a ton of money for Ohioans.

We want to ban legislators from becoming lobbyists for 5 years after they’re in office.

We want to create and foster a more collaborative small business ecosystem with incubators, venture capital studios, chambers of commerce, and other entrepreneurship hubs.

We are in favor of the state constitutional amendment petitions that is circulating that protects the language for LGBTQIA+ marriage in Ohio if the Supreme Court overturns their prior ruling.

Liberty, kindness, justice, common sense, and integrity guide how we approach every issue. Every bill, movement, policy, and political leader should be measured against those principles. Anything that asks us to sacrifice them is something we cannot support.

We strongly oppose unaccountable federal enforcement agencies that illegally detain people without cause, are hidden behind masks, and operate without clear identification. We believe that due process applies to everyone and that immigration enforcement should be civil not militarized. Immigrants should have a straightforward and clear lawful path to citizenship and be required to show good faith progress toward legal status. Violations can be handled like any other criminal infraction.
