The Intel plant in Licking County is going to create at least 7,000 construction jobs for union Building Trades workers over the next 10 years, and will help develop the semiconductor chip supply chain in Ohio and position our state to lead in this crucial industry.  We wrote the CHIPS Act to make sure this […]

For so many Ohioans, giving up dollars at the bargaining table now in exchange for contributions to a pension fund, and the promise of a secure retirement in the future, has been the reality for many years. So when those pensions were threatened, and retirees and workers were facing cuts to their retirement benefits that […]

The rest of the world is finally recognizing what the people of Ohio already know – Ohio workers are the future of the auto industry. Honda saw that future when they decided to build a new battery plant in Fayette County and retool three other Ohio plants for electric vehicle production. This historic investment is […]

All too often I hear from Ohioans who have been abused by our financial system, which is set up to benefit the biggest banks, at the expense of pretty much everyone else.  It’s why last year, after I took over as chair of the Banking and Housing Committee, we started the annual tradition of bringing […]

We have seen too many tragedies in Ohio and around the country that have broken the trust between law enforcement and the communities they swear an oath to protect and serve. The arrival of an officer on the scene should be a cause for relief – not more anxiety.  That’s why I’ve joined my colleagues […]

This month, we celebrated Flag Day.

The COVID-19 pandemic only highlighted what we already knew – teachers are essential workers. Educators sacrifice so much for their students, and for our state. Unfortunately, that hard work never pays off the way it should. On average, teachers are paid 20 percent less than other college graduates. Many of them work second jobs just […]

Last week, we announced more good news for Ohio — because of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Plan, we’re making a dramatic, $1 billion new investment in the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative (GLRI), to clean up the entire Great Lakes watershed and to support the jobs and businesses that depend on it.  The Lake is one of […]

We’ve worked to get Ohio food banks support to keep up with increased demand and changing health recommendations over the past two years. And the expanded Child Tax Credit has meant more money in bank accounts for 92 percent of Ohio kids’ families – and fewer families struggling to feed their children.  But food banks […]

We have an opportunity to create jobs and support a new, growing industry in Ohio, producing the jet fuel of the future. Ohio has a long, proud history of aviation innovation – from the Wright Brothers’ bicycle shop in West Dayton, to Geraldine Mock flying solo around the world, to John Glenn taking flight in […]
