Doctor, advocate, and problem-solver. Running for Governor to fight for Ohioans who are struggling and give power back to the people. It’s time for a change.
Joined January 2025
Starting today, I’m launching a four-day, 15-stop listening tour across Ohio. Across the state, I’m meeting with families, teachers, and local leaders to hear what’s working—and what’s not. Because the best ideas come from the people living them.

I had a wonderful time on Friday speaking at the 36th Biennial @ocsea convention, focused on protecting collective bargaining rights and celebrating Ohio’s public service workers. Workers’ rights will always be safe with me.

I was thrilled to speak at last night’s Burriss Backyard Series - where neighbors gather to discuss the largest issues we face in our communities, how we restore our common humanity, and what the leaders you choose to elect will do for you. Thank you for coming out, Columbus!

Eric and I were thrilled to be at the Ohio NAACP Conference on Saturday night! Thank you to @JoyceBeatty for your empowering words. It was a particular pleasure meeting Ophelia Averitt, lifelong NAACP member and former President of the Akron chapter, who is a living legacy.

When you’re a doctor, you don’t violate your Hippocratic Oath and look the other way when an unqualified politician pushes actions that put lives in danger. I would know. I respect the courageous stands being taken by these physicians. This is a wake up call about how.
CDC WRAPUP: A White House spokesman emailed me at 9:30 p.m. to say that Susan Monarez, the CDC director, has been fired. This came after days of back-and-forth in which RFK Jr. tried to force her out and she refused. 4 other top CDC officials have quit.

It means so much to receive the support from so many members of my hometown community. These are the public servants on the front line, who serve our state and local communities tirelessly, and I look forward to working with them to tackle each problem we face head-on!

To the Ohioans who are struggling to put food on the table: I’ve been there. That’s why I knew I couldn’t look the other way if I had the chance to try and make your life better. I care about this state and I care about you.

We are not meant to live like this—where schools and places of worship become scenes of unimaginable loss. This tragedy and the many others like it are a wound on our common humanity. I grieve with the members of Annunciation Catholic Church and the entire Minneapolis.
Breaking News: At least three people are dead, including a gunman, and more than a dozen others were injured in a shooting at a Catholic school in Minneapolis, officials said. Follow live updates.

Thank you @nanwhaley and the entire team at Planned Parenthood SW Ohio for the tour today in Cincinnati. Reproductive healthcare will always be safe with me - we must protect these rights, now enshrined into our state’s constitution, with our full ability.

Great day for a farm party! Loved meeting with folks in Wayne County today. Our rural and agricultural communities don't just feed our families — they drive local economies, preserve our land, and need a seat at every policy table.

Only a billionaire elitist like @VivekGRamaswamy would brush off the gross underfunding of our public schools as a “silly accounting dispute.”. Tell that to Ohioans watching their property taxes soar to fill the gap left by handing out tax breaks to the wealthy. Tell that to.
The educational achievement crisis is America’s greatest challenge in the next 20 years, yet the education debate has devolved into a silly accounting dispute over “more vs. less” funding. The real question is how to improve student *outcomes* & that’s exactly what we laid out
