Questions & Answers

1. What specific measures do you support to increase equal access to health care in Ohio?

No response yet.

2. What are your views on legislation to study racial profiling by law enforcement?

As an African American man in today's society I understand first hand what racial profiling is or "driving while black". I strongly believe that something needs to be done. I am in strong support of House Bill 363, which would require every law enforcement agency to record detailed data. If elected I will work to make sure that HB 363 is passed. This type of humiliation of being stopped simply because of skin color has to be put to and end.

3. What stable funding source do you support for the Ohio Housing Trust Fund?

No response yet.
