There is no more breathing room. From the grocery and gas bills to the utilities, to childcare, to health care costs. Ohioans are doing everything right, but they just can't get ahead. I hear this story everywhere I go. It isn't about party for me. It never has been. It is about making life better for all of us. I know what it's like when people look the other way when you're struggling. As a child, I experienced abuse and neglect, and I could have never imagined going from homeless to being a doctor, let alone that I would be standing here the next governor of Ohio.
