UTILITY TRANSPARENCY AND ENVIRONMENT
Ohioans deserve to have access to transparent and affordable utilities for their homes and businesses. I introduced legislation that would require the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio to order refunds to consumers if a utility charge is deemed to be unlawful by the Ohio Supreme Court. We are still rebuilding trust with Ohio utility consumers and ratepayers after the recent corruption scandal with former Ohio House Speaker Larry Householder and FirstEnergy, and I am a strong advocate for ensuring that suitable, transparent utility services are available to all Ohioans, no matter what corner of the state they are in. I also support transitioning the state away from the use of fossil fuels and toward renewable energy, as well as reducing carbon emissions, and preserving green spaces.
