Keeping Ohioans safe is my top priority as governor. Everyone deserves to feel and be safe in their communities, no matter where they live.
Republicans in Ohio have defunded public safety for years to pay for tax cuts for Ohio’s wealthiest. These cuts have resulted in layoffs, chronic officer shortages, and understaffed first responder units. As Governor, I will rebuild state and local partnerships, fully fund the police and public safety, and ensure that communities again have the public safety resources they need. My opponent’s plan to eliminate property taxes will defund our police, firefighters and first responders. This hurts our kids and makes all of us less safe.
As governor, I will prioritize community partnership with law enforcement, fully fund our local law enforcement, support our first responders and invest in addiction treatment, mental health services and community programming across our state.
