Elect Jason Purviance Ohio State Representative

Flock cameras and similar systems track every vehicle that drives past, storing the data with private companies and sharing it across the country at every level of Government. This is warrantless mass surveillance of citizens. I will work to end these systems in Ohio and protect your right to move freely without constant government tacking.

Property taxes treat homeowners like tenants of the state, forcing them to keep paying just to stay in their own homes. My plan reduces property taxes by 25 percent each year until reaching ZERO. This will give families instant relief while allowing local governments time to adjust. Owning property should mean true ownership, not and endless and growing tax bill.

Ohio’s Constitution requires the state to secure a thorough and efficient system of common schools. Public schools should be properly funded by the state without forcing local districts to rely on property taxes that burden homeowners and drive up housing costs.

I will also work to remove overburdening mandates that pull teachers and schools away from actual teaching. Any school that receives public money, public or private, must meet the same transparency standards so taxpayers can see exactly how their dollars are spent. No secrets.

Ohio families have to balance their budgets. State government should do the same. I will fight to cut wasteful spending, eliminate unnecessary programs, and stop treating taxpayer dollars as an unlimited piggybank. Every dollar the state spends comes from the people who have earned it, and will be spent transparently.
