Like you, we recognize we're living under toxic institutions rife with corruption, money laundering, and overreaching systems. We got tired of picking our poison and so we wanted to try to be the antidote.
More than 70% of the population in Ohio is saying they want more options, more than 40% of Ohio identify as politically homeless. We want you to find a home in us.
We look through all things under the lens of liberty, kindness, justice, common sense, and integrity. If a bill, movement, or a political leader is calling for anything but those four things- that's something we can't support.

Don moved to Ohio in 2007 with his first wife, Marcy.
They came to the Buckeye State looking for better opportunities and a lower cost of living. Things did not work out as planned at first, but he took a chance on a temporary position with a strong employer and got his foot in the door. That progress was later disrupted by a long recession-related layoff.
During that uncertain stretch, he began taking a hard look at the role of government and the track record of the major political parties. Those entrenched camps seemed more focused on constant legislation and interference than on solving real problems.
Around the same time, Marcy’s health declined. While he joined the Libertarian Party, ran for office for the first time, returned to work, faced another layoff, and eventually secured steady employment again, she fought leukemia for two years with determination and courage.
Marcy ultimately lost that battle. That chapter brought deep loss, reflection, renewed faith, and personal growth. Hard experiences reshaped his outlook and reinforced a belief that life’s ups and downs can still be met with hope.
Not long after, Don met Sarah. Shared challenges helped form a strong bond. He moved to Ottawa in 2014, and they married a few months later.
Today, he and Sarah are raising their son, Jeremiah, along with his stepdaughter, Cameron. They have put down roots in northwestern Ohio, a place he proudly calls home.
Don served six years in the United States Navy, deploying twice to the Middle East during Desert Shield and Desert Storm.
He is running to represent you.

James Mills knows what it means to work hard and build something from the ground up. Raised in a hardworking family in Ohio, he learned early the value of responsibility, perseverance, and community.
Today, James wears many hats—business owner, nonprofit leader, and father. Whether he’s helping families plan financially, supporting those in need through charitable work, or building new opportunities for small businesses, his mission has always been the same: empower people to take control of their future.
Now, James is stepping into public service to bring that same mindset to government. He believes Ohioans deserve leadership that trusts them, respects their freedoms, and creates real opportunities—not more red tape. His campaign is about putting power back where it belongs: in the hands of the people.

We want to see no more corporate bribery- for so long there have been corporate contributions coming to politicians from regulated monopolies in utilities, healthcare, telecom, and insurance. This is especially present with dark money
We want to ban legislators from becoming lobbyists for 5 years after they’re in office
We also want total transparency in government contracts and budgets and to have that information identifiable and searchable in a public database.
They want to create and foster a more collaborative small business ecosystem with incubators, venture capital studios, chambers of commerce, and other entrepreneurship hubs
Simplify licensing and regulation for small business especially for gig workers, tradespeople, small business, in home childcare, and other types of local entrepreneurs.
Lastly they are in favor of the end property tax amendment that’s on the ballot right now and in its place, they’d prefer to see local consumption based taxes.
They are in favor of the state constitutional amendment that is on the ballot for 2026 where it protects the language for for gay marriage in Ohio if the Supreme Court overturns their prior ruling.
They want to get government bureaucracy out of the marijuana industry as the government has continued to try to regulate towards the profits of only a few companies for distribution.
Lastly they strongly oppose ICE being that they are an unaccountable federal enforcement agency that illegally detains people without cause, are hidden behind masks, and operate without clear identification. They believe that due process applies to everyone and that immigration enforcement should be civil not militarized. Those here illegally should have a straightforward and clear lawful path to citizenship and be required to show good faith progress toward legal status. Violations can be handled as infractions with escalating fines, not indefinite detention, and deportation to only be part of the discussion after repeated, proven noncompliance.
In today's age where everything feels like it's on fire, it's easy to feel a collective moral grief that can make you feel like giving up. It's important to not give up and not give in, turn this into collective moral anger that fuels action. And we do this action locally and have it bubble up.
We're doing this already in a few ways:
1. We're building infrastructure in the anti authoritarianism arenas with alot of conversations with groups like No Kings, Anti Ice, Ohio 50501, ACLU, DUHR, and so many more. All in attempts to lessen the overreach of government in Ohio.
2. We're talking to and partnering with alot of small business ecosystems like incubators, chambers of commerce, and other entrepreneurship organizations- even groups like Right to Start and Plug and Play we've had the opportunity to talk with to try and bring jobs back to Ohio and champion the small business owner.
3. The first step in loving thy neighbor is by going out to meet them first. With that, we've been committed to reaching out to groups and individuals that normally would be ideologically opposed to us to have a discussion and to find common ground. The essence of recognizing the humanity in another through asking questions and having interactions with the context of curiosity and not judgement is key. And in this, we've hosted and will continue to host town hall events where everyone is invited- the left, right, green, up, down, it doesn't matter who you are or your background, we want to sit down and have a conversation.
Text, Phone, email, or carrier pigeon preferred! That last one was a joke.
