I’m fighting for all of us. No person should have to drink lead contaminated water in 2025.

Ohio bill aims to replace lead water service lines over the next 15 years The Lead Line Replacement Act would require every publicly owned water system in Ohio to replace lead pipes over the next 15 years. It's similar to one introduced in the last General Assembly.

He is Risen.

This morning at City of Grace, I sat under a powerful word from Pastors Michael Young and Richard Jones—a word about transformation in the space of pain.

Mary Magdalene stood weeping outside the tomb, broken by grief. But when Jesus called her name, Mary, everything shifted. She didn’t recognize Him at first… because resurrection changes things.

Thank you, City of Grace, for reminding us: pain is not the end…it’s the beginning to something new.

Making my ancestors proud.

Today, I am honored to be sworn in once again as a State Representative and Assistant Minority Leader for the 136th General Assembly.

I carry their strength, their sacrifices, and their dreams with me as we step into this new chapter. With unwavering resolve, I will continue fighting for the people of this great state—championing justice, opportunity, and progress for all of us.

Let’s get to work.
