About

I was born and raised in Van Wert, Ohio, and graduated from Van Wert High School. For generations, people in my family have worked on farms, in factories, in logistics, and in schools. We’ve had UAW and USW members in the family, too. I work as a substitute teacher and study history and political science. I’ve also worked as a grassroots organizer for nine election cycles in Ohio and across the country.

It was an honor to run for the Ohio House in the 82nd District in 2026. Thank you to everyone who voted, helped out, or took the time to talk with me. I haven’t ruled out running for office again. For now, my focus is on the work we’re doing in northwest Ohio through Maddux McCray for Ohio.

Our Goals

• Strengthen county Democratic parties. Help local parties reach more people and give residents more ways to get involved close to home.

• Listen to residents and speak up on local issues. Hear directly from people about what’s happening in their communities and advocate on issues like school funding, data center development, and access to healthcare.

• Keep people informed. Follow bills at the Ohio Statehouse, explain what new laws mean for northwest Ohio, and share when and where residents can weigh in at public meetings.

• Hold elected officials accountable. Follow how they vote and speak up when their decisions go against the interests of the people they serve or the promises they made on the campaign trail.
