I’m Jason Purviance. Husband since 2009. Dad. Aircraft mechanic. Fairfield Township resident.

I never planned on running for office. What changed me was watching government overreach during COVID and seeing how much influence big corporations and money have over the people who make the rules. Then I went to the Fairfield City Schools “Road Ahead” meetings. Listening to them ask for more tax money while the state funding system for public schools is clearly broken pushed me over the edge. My son is in those schools. That made it personal.

I’m not a politician and I don’t want to become one. I aspire to be your statesman: someone who shows up, listens, and fights for the people who actually live here and pay the bills. I stand by Libertarian principles of individual liberty, lower taxes, and limited government. I will always put the people of District 47 first.

The issues here hit close to home. Property taxes keep rising. Small farms and local businesses face unnecessary regulations. Surveillance tools like Flock cameras track everyday movements without warrants. State spending often includes waste that drives up costs for families.

That’s why I’m running as the Libertarian candidate for Ohio House District 47. I will apply a clear framework to every decision.

Individual liberty first — You control your life, choices, and property. Period. No unnecessary government dictates or interference in peaceful actions.

Aggressive pursuit of lower taxes — Oppose measures that increase tax burdens; favor reforms and spending reductions that prevent automatic hikes from market changes or reappraisals and keep more money with families and businesses.

Broad fiscal restraint — No new or extended taxes without equivalent offsets; always prioritize keeping earnings in your hands over expanding government.

Eliminate waste, fraud, and abuse — Demand transparency, audits, and cuts to inefficient programs—redirecting every saved dollar toward tax relief, not new spending or mandates.

Deregulate small farms and producers — Remove barriers that hinder cottage foods, on-farm processing, direct sales, raw milk distribution, and similar local agriculture—evaluating rules based on whether they truly protect safety or just add red tape.

End warrantless surveillance — Oppose mass tracking tools like Flock systems and government data collection without warrants; support limits on retention, access, and sharing to restore privacy protections.

Free markets and personal responsibility — Favor voluntary solutions, competition, and individual accountability over mandates, subsidies, bailouts, or cronyism.

Sound money — Reject policies that fuel inflation and erode family budgets for essentials.

Local and individual control — Resist overreach from Columbus and D.C.; devolve power downward to communities and people.

This framework isn’t about left or right. These principles are about decisions that expand freedom, cut coercion, and respect the realities of life in District 47.

If this approach resonates, I’d love to hear from you. You can email me directly at [email protected], or message me on X or Facebook. I want to hear from you.

Let’s restore liberty where it belongs, right here at home.
