Education
Educational Training
“In order to bring jobs to Ohio, we must have a skilled workforce that is competitive with the rest of the country and world. John knows that as jobs adjust and advance, our workers – both young and old – must be ready for the changes. John strongly supports training and development programs for our adult workforce, so that as the economy continues to evolve, our workers have the resources to keep up. [1].”
Educational Funding
“John will work to ensure every child in Ohio gets a fair start and a solid educational foundation, beginning with our youngest children and extending through K-12 and college. He will make sure that our students have the most qualified, well-trained teachers and the preparation to pursue higher education. And he will work to provide all Ohioans with the means to afford higher education, regardless of income or family history. [2].”

Healthcare
“When George Bush vetoed legislation last year that would have expanded the State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) to 10 million children, John stood up to encourage Congress to override the veto.
“John will continue the fight in Congress to expand health care coverage to our families. He will work with the public and private sectors to ensure that high-quality care is available and affordable for those who need it, and that our medical decisions are being made by doctors, not insurance companies.
“John will work to strengthen both SCHIP and Medicaid benefits so that no Ohioan who may be struggling goes without the care that allows them to pursue a safe, healthy life. [4].”
