Rampant corruption is holding Ohio back, and it has to end.

Special interests and corporate lobbyists dominate the Statehouse with pay-to-play, dark money politics, and as a result, Ohio keeps moving in the wrong direction. Deep-pocketed special interests make out like bandits while everyday Ohioans pay a steep price.

As Governor, I will shine light on the process, insisting on transparency, mandating more disclosure, reforming our campaign finance system, and opening bidding, contracting, and appointment processes to ensure decisions are made on behalf of the public, and not private interests or big donors. 

We will crack down on the corrupt practices that continue to haunt our state and insist on a culture where good work and merit are rewarded, not deep pockets and big checkbooks.
