Question #1: Why are you running for Governor of Ohio?
I believe
that it is time for change in Ohio! We need to get back to the days of
Reagan, when we put family first and I believe I am the right person to do
that. When
family is at the center of everything we do – that provides stronger desires
for growth and stability. I will fight for the safety of all Ohioans and our
financial strengths by building stronger families, love of country, and
economic freedom. We will get back to the
days when a family could – invite friends over, have steaks on the grill, or
enjoy taking our kids to Kings Island and Cedar Point; without the worry of
not being able to pay our rent/mortgage. We have
all the resources in our state to put Ohio at the top of America’s economic
growth. I am the person to make that happen. I understand what it’s
like to be part of the middle class. I also understand what it’s like to work
16-hour days, building your small business, all while trying to get your
education and raise a family.
Question #2: How is
campaigning going?
Well, campaigning is different. I am a business owner and entrepreneur. With business you go into everything headfirst. With campaigning it is a process, and you really must trust the process. However, campaigning has went really well for me. So many Ohioans are excited to endorse and financially back a history making campaign, like mine! Within a few days our campaign team was able to raise over one million dollars in campaign promises. Although this is nowhere near where we need to be to run a campaign of this size, it is a GREAT START. This shows that Ohioans are ready for change and feel that my ideas will benefit them and change their lives for the better! We have a great advisory team and campaign management team – made up of 21 people.
Question #3: As a
republican woman of color and knowing that you will make history in Ohio and
the nation, if elected. How have you been received by the RNC and other
republicans?
I am the true OUTSIDER,
and to be honest - that is scary. Just like with any organization you have a
few that are afraid of change, but in my case that has been few. I have had
calls, text, and emails from folks high up in both the Republican and Democratic
parties, as well as many business owners and citizens. They are all very excited to see a woman of color step
out and seek a political career of this magnitude. They have all been so
encouraging offering advice, taking time to answer all my questions, and
offering an open line of communication. However, some do have negative
things to say about my run, our party and race relations. My party, the
republican party was built on unity and the abolishment of slavery. The
republican party should want to see all people thrive and do well, and
believe in generational wealth and building up small and large businesses .
Eventally the RNC & MEDIA will have to acknowledge my run for governor.
One thing I know for sure, America is watching and paying attention. You
are the 1st person of color to be elected in Morgan Co., 1st woman of color
in Ohio to run for the governor’s seat -not to mention, to run as a
republican – If you are elected you will be the 1st governor of color,
1st woman governor elected in Ohio and 1st black woman governor in the
Nation. How does that make you feel?
First, I am the best and
most qualified to be Ohio’s next governor -those historical facts you listed,
also make me proud! I am an example of the AMERICAN DREAM! I was a poor
little black girl with dyslexia from Appalachia Ohio, who is now running for
governor. This is what my grandparents, Peyton and Anna Mae Almond, and so
many of my ancestor’s dreamed of. I am honored & I hope I make them
proud!!
Question #4: I noticed
that you refer to yourself as “a dyslexic thinker” will you elaborate on
that?
I was fortunate to have
been born with dyslexia. We have a unique
approach to problem solving, assessing information, and learning. This
term is often used by people with dyslexia, to describe superior
skills that involves pattern recognition, spatial reasoning, lateral
thinking, and interpersonal communication. This is why I have been successful
as an entrepreneur and business owner, and this is why I will be a great
governor for Ohio!
Question #5: What does
this mean to your hometown of Morgan County Ohio, one of the poorest
communities in the state?
Oh my, this question makes
me tear up. My community has been WONDERFUL. I have received hundreds of calls and text from my hometown. Folks that I
never thought would support me have reached out to encourage me. My hometown doesn’t care about my party, they just know
I’m one of them and they are supporting me! We may be one of the
poorest communities in the state but, I have received thousands of dollars in
donation promises from Morgan, Muskingum, Athens, Perry, Licking and
Washington counties. Some say, I only have $50 / $100 / $500 but I’m going to
mail you a check! It has been a wonderful display of hometown pride from
Appalachia Ohio. When I am in office these are
the kind of people I want surrounding me and helping move Ohio forward!
Question #6: When you are
governor do you plan on taking people from your community with you?
Absolutely! Some of the
most intelligent, resourceful people I know are from our Ohio small towns. When I am in office Appalachia Ohio will be there with
me, for sure.
Question #7: Do you agree
with how Governor Mike DeWine and Lt. Jon Husted handled the lockdown during
the covid crisis and if so, what would you have done differently? I
don't feel that I can fully answer this question, because I was not privy to
all the confidential information and data that Governor DeWine was supplied
with. One thing to keep in mind, we are only as good as the
information that we receive. Dr. Anthony Fauci gave a lot of Americans
incorrect and incomplete information. So, a lot of the information that U.S.
governors used to make their determinations were not completely correct and
accurate. With that being said, I would have
opened Ohio as soon as possible and I would not have waited!! Opening sooner than later would have lessened a
lot of the financial strain on Ohio businesses and families.
Question #8: Just like all
Americans, Ohioans are facing a housing crisis. What are your plans to fix
Ohio’s lack of appropriate housing?
I was a
founding member of habitat for humanity (Morgan Co.) My husband and I launched
our real-estate investment business in 2012. We focus on the housing crisis
and providing quality homes in low-income areas of Ohio. I understand what
Ohio landlords and investors are facing. I can
tell you this, I will be the hardest governor that Ohio has ever had on
squatters! I will do everything I possibly can to make landlords feel
safe and heard in Ohio. I will offer special incentives to landlords /
investors and small businesses. Once again small business is the solution to
the housing crisis! I understand the importance of small businesses and
believe that more tax incentives, grants, and programs should be offered to
small business owners. I believe that supporting
small businesses is the key to Ohio’s financial stability. When
landlords have less legal fees, construction repair cost and tenant
stressors; they will spend money on acquiring more properties.
During the time I was on the board for habitat for humanity, I was the
family support president. I worked with families on budgeting and housing
issues. I see first-hand how families struggle every day to pay rent
and keep a roof over their family’s heads! I have unique ideas to lower the
unemployment rate and build job security in Ohio. I will also increase
funding for Ohio’s housing programs and increase the income guidelines! I will work tirelessly to ensure that every nook and
cranny in Ohio has stable reliable high-speed internet. Allowing families to
work from home if desired!
Question #9: Will you tell
us a little about your views on the border issues that are affecting our
country and Ohio?
For the past ten years I have volunteered in schools in
third world countries, such as Honduras, Mexico, Hati, and the Domenic
Republic. I see what they are facing, and it is horrible.
However, I believe there is a right way and a wrong way to come into our
country. Bad people – like smugglers, criminals,
and cartels are preying on American citizens. Every state in America
is now a “border town, with a border crisis”! Our citizens are now at risk to
kidnapping, extortion, and other threats to their personal safety. This is
another example of why, I 100% support our 2nd amendment rights to protect ourselves and our families. As governor I will support President Trump's deportation program.
Talk to us about the Springfield Ohio issues after Trumps statements on
them eating the cats and dogs?
As FDF
Ambassador I traveled all over the great state of Ohio. Many of the folks I
worked with confirmed that pets were indeed coming up missing and being eaten
by illegal immigrants, while others stated that this was completely false. I
don’t know the truth and unfortunately, we may never know what is happening to
the abundant number of missing pets in Springfield Ohio. Once again, as governor I will support President Donald Trump's
deportation program. I will also support immigrants that wish to come
into our state legally. Those that want to be productive citizens and help
build Ohio’s economy, workforce, and industry. I
also have a unique plan to deal with inflex of non-English speaking students
that are flooding our Ohio schools. This is greatly costing our
American / English speaking students and teachers. Valuable class time and
resources are being devoured by non-English speaking students. This valuable
class time is setting our American / English speaking students back and costing
them educational time that our students can’t afford to miss.
Question #10: How do you
feel about school choice and homeschooling?
I am
overwhelmingly in support homeschooling, private schooling, and public
schooling.
Students in failing school districts are often stuck. I believe every parent
should have a choice where their children go to school. I think faith-based
schooling should also be able to get public funding. Honoring the separation
of church and state, school funding should not pay for the religious
curriculum or religious teachers. Such as chapel.
Question #11: Where do you
stand on medical freedom?
Medical freedom is a fundamental right, and as Governor, I will always stand for the rights of Ohioans to make their own medical decisions—without government, business, or special interests forcing mandates on them. Let me be crystal clear: No Ohioan should ever be forced to take a vaccine or wear a mask. The COVID-19 mandates were a gross overreach, stripping individuals of their right to decide what’s best for their own health. I will fight to ensure that no employer, business, or government entity can ever coerce someone into medical decisions under the threat of job loss or exclusion from society. This is America—we don’t tolerate government overreach into our personal health choices. Now, when it comes to parents making medical decisions for their children, as a mother, I will always defend parental rights. Parents—not bureaucrats or politicians—should be the ones deciding what’s best for their kids. I believe in empowering families with the best medical information available, but at the end of the day, that decision belongs to the parents. That’s a freedom I will always protect. Ohioans deserve leadership that trusts them to make their own choices—not one that dictates how they live their lives. Medical freedom isn’t just about vaccines; it’s about ensuring that every individual and every family has the right to make informed decisions without pressure, coercion, or mandates from the government.
Question #12: Women’s
health and reproductive rights?
The women/voters of Ohio
have spoken loud and clear by their recent vote in favor of amending the
state constitution to enshrine abortion rights. As governor I will honor
their wishes!
Ohio’s women are tired of
the attacks on our rights as women. I will fight
for women’s rights to reproduce; I will also fight for our rights to privacy. Women need to feel safe in Ohio, knowing that our ability to have IVF,
Fertility treatments and medication will ALWAYS be an option. When I am governor, we as women in Ohio will never have
to deal with our government sticking their noses into our personal medical
records – I totally believe in limited government and will eliminate governmental
interference in these areas.
What are your views on
Abortions?
As I stated earlier the
voters have made their decision and I will honor that! However, I support life,
and I believe that all life has value and abortion without illness and/or
trauma is wrong! When I am governor, I will give women more incentives and
supports to keep their babies. I will also
strongly encourage ADOPTION for those that find that motherhood is not an
option for them at this time. I am an adoptive and foster mother. I
feel passionate about the value of life and the importance of adoption as a
loving option for both birth mother and child. I believe adoption to be a
great option for those who are facing unplanned pregnancies. I will also
support and encourage interstate adoptions as a family’s first option over
out of state and out of country adoptions!
I know that many people
share in this belief and with the right support
and resources, more women would consider adoption as an alternative to
abortion. I want to advocate for increased awareness, resources, and
incentives for both birth mothers and adoptive families. This would create a
more supportive environment for everyone involved. It's also essential to
foster open and compassionate dialogues around this topic, as each person's
situation is unique. Encouraging, understanding, and respect for different
perspectives can lead to more informed and empathetic discussions about life,
choice, and the various paths available to those facing difficult decisions.
Women’s sports and
participation of transgender athletes is a hot topic right now, what are your
thoughts?
I believe
that women and girls deserve to be the champions of their own sports! My daughter, Dahlia, is a
college rugby player. She has played against biological males in the past and
it is always a disaster and ends with female players being injured. I think
this is ridiculous and should never be permitted in Ohio! I will fight hard to keep biological males out of
female sports, locker rooms and restrooms!
Question #13: This past
election was a “great red wave” for republicans. But many Ohioans have been
skeptical of your somewhat unbelievable following and support for the Trump
administration and all the 2024 republican candidates, please explain your
following and support?
Let me start
by saying I am so proud to be an American republican right now!! It is such an exciting
time for us. We are now on the right path to heal and prosper as a country.
President Trump has a great plan to FIX the U.S. and make it the country that
we were on 9/12! Just as Dr. Phill said "One of the most important days
in American history was 9/12, 2001, not 9/11... because on 9/12, we all woke
up, and we were all Americans on 9/12... That's who we were. That's who we
are."
Just as I explained to a
good friend the other day – no one will ever agree with EVERYTHING that a
candidate or political party does or says. But we must align and follow the
party and candidates that most closely resembles our beliefs and political
ideations – America has spoken. During Trumps 2016 run for president I didn’t
vote for him. I wrote in Governor John Kasich. I worked closely with the
Kasich family and Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger during that campaign. My
family and I helped the Kasich campaign and deeply believe in his vision for
our country. This time I worked hard to get President Trump, and all the
great republican leaders elected. I am very
excited to work with President Trump and his administration.
Question #14: As a foster mother,
what do you see as far as fixing our broken foster care system?
That is a great question,
I will follow in the steps of progress that Governor Mike DeWine has made
with our foster care programs. He has worked hard to provide opportunities
for all Ohio children. I will build on that
foundation. First, we must solve the issues that our state faces when
initially taking a child into care. We must provide safe “gap care”
(as I call it). This is care for children during the intake process before a
foster family is found to take care of the child. I have some great ideas and
plans that I feel will provide for the needs for these children while keeping
them safe and calm. I will also make changes for
more accountably with our foster children’s mental health and psych meds. It
will take a lot of work, but I have some folks that I have worked with as a
foster mom, that I will be asking to come on board and to help me solve these
issues.
Question #15: We can’t
close without talking about your 2 foster children that were shot and killed
by law enforcement in Ohio?
Yes, I am proud to have
known both Donavan Lewis and Ta’Kiya Young. I
love them both very much, as I do ALL my foster kids, they were
both beautiful young adults. Donavan was a handsome young man. He loved
football and hanging out with friends. He had a deep, happy laugh that would
echo throughout our home. I cherish our
conversations about his dreams for his future and repairing broken
relationships. Ta’Kiya had a smile and laugh that would light up any
room. She was excited to be the best mother she could be. She had so many
plans for her and her children. I will always
cherish taking her senior
pictures on our farm and seeing the joy in her eyes. Of course I
know, they were facing hardships and mental health challenges, like many of
Ohio’s young people. I remember their birth-families, foster-families and
friends in my prayers every night. I thank God
that He brought them into my life for the short time that I knew them.
As governor
I will fight every day to bridge the gaps between our law enforcement and our
people of color, young adults and those that face mental illness.
Question
#16: If you consider yourself an outsider, how will you work with
legislators?
Absolutely—I
am an outsider. I’ve
never been part of the political class, and I think that’s exactly what Ohio
needs right now: someone who isn’t beholden to special interests or party
bosses.
Question #17: How would you support non-profits who have taken devastating hits in the past months? As someone
who’s worked closely with churches, foster agencies, and community
nonprofits, I understand just how vital they are—especially in underserved
areas. These
are the people feeding the hungry, sheltering the homeless, and supporting
women in crisis.
Question #18: Mike DeWine was an advocate for maternal
health and education, will you continue any of these implementations—i.e.,
faith-based grants?
Question #19: What are your views on maternal health in
Ohio?
Question #20: What type of policies are needed and will be
approved by you to better Ohio?
Ohio needs bold,
pro-family, pro-freedom, pro-growth policies. I’ll support:
• Tax relief for families and seniors
• School choice and parental rights in
education
• Investment in law enforcement and mental
health response
• Expansion of broadband and clean water
access in rural areas
• Streamlining housing regulations to lower
costs
I’m not here to tinker
with the status quo—I’m here to fix what’s broken and build a future that
works for every Ohioan.
Question #21: What type of previous policies will you alleviate that are creating barriers in Ohio? We’ve got far too much bureaucracy strangling innovation and family life. I will roll back. • Excessive permitting and zoning rules that delay housing and business developments • Education mandates that put ideology over
academics
• Healthcare policies that limit provider
choice, especially in rural areas
• Tax codes that punish seniors, families,
and small business owners
Ohio doesn’t have a talent or resource problem—we have a government problem. and I’ll change that.
Question #22: What are your thoughts on the states having control over public education? I
support full state and local control of
education. The federal government has no business dictating what our children
are taught.
Question #23: How will you ensure constant communication with education and healthcare providers for kids? The well-being of our children has to be a top priority, and that
means education and healthcare systems need to work hand in hand with
parents. As Governor, I’ll make sure there’s
open, ongoing communication between those who care for our kids—teachers,
doctors, counselors, and families.
