2. How would you implement your top priority?

The Basic Issues in the Ohio House of Representatives - 34th District Republican Primary Election

A vote for Greg Delev means supporting all local schools, all police, and NO MORE TAXES! Greg Delev believes that these goals can be achieved, and Republican issues can be maintained, without having to act fanatical + a view that Anderson Township has in its current representation.

Ronald Reagan showed, democracy, capitalism and free markets all result in a stronger environment, society. Greg Delev wants to carry this spirit to Columbus. Greg believes taking these views to Columbus will translate into better local government, better local schools, and a better neighborhood for our community.

There are problems in Columbus that affect everyone, and that are becoming more important to all of us. Greg emphatically believes that Columbus must be kept out of local schools; Greg understands that the current state of School Finance needs a fresh perspective; and Greg believes that the solution lies in something more intricate than just imposing heavier taxes.

Greg believes that the current legislature believes that the solution to everything is to just vote "no" on all issues. We need a legislator who is able to rise above the negative dialogue and try to solve the problems. This is thewhat Anderson Township, and Eastern Cincinnati needs and deserves.

The options are between Delev and constructive government with limits, and the current legislature which simply says no to all things, regardless of the impact.

Greg Delev has the determination and the judgment to get the job done. We need a constructive voice in Columbus, not just a "no" vote.

U.S. Senate: Total words in answer to the question may not exceed 100 words. The word limit must be observeds. Words over the limit will be cut off in published information.
