Supporting Local Businesses

What I Believe

Local businesses are the heart of our neighborhoods, but they rarely get the same support as large corporations. When money stays local, communities are stronger.

What I Will Propose and Do

I will introduce the LOCAL Loop Act

(Local Ohio Commerce Acceleration & Loyalty)

This creates a state-supported local business punch card program that:

Rewards residents for shopping at locally owned businesses
Encourages repeat visits and community loyalty
Keeps spending circulating locally
Helps small businesses compete without new bureaucracy or handouts

It’s not a subsidy.

It’s a system that rewards people for investing where they live.
