Agriculture is the backbone of the local economy in Wayne County. I grew up working on a small farm where I developed a strong work ethic and sense of responsibility. I understand the hard work and risks it takes to run a farm. 

 

As the needs of the agribusiness community evolve, farmers need assurances of quality water and responsible land management practices to preserve the future of farming for the next generation. In Columbus, I will work to champion family farmers and our way of life in rural Ohio.
