POVERTY IS NOT A MORAL FAILURE; IT IS A POLICY FAILURE.

Ohio CD-02 consists of 15 ¼ counties: 3 suburban, 12 ¼ rural. It is the largest geographical district in Ohio. 11 of the counties rank in the top third of impoverished people in the state.

Once thriving industrial towns, factories were either shutdown or were moved out of the United States. Mines were closed. Small family businesses were shuttered. Local economies were devastated.

But rural Americans are built strong. We are self-reliant, resourceful, resilient, with shared values.

We have a deep love of family and community.

I want to energize, engage, and bring rural Americans back into politics. I commit to listen to the good folks of my district and take their concerns to Washington, DC.

We need a real Rural Representative for a rural district: Samantha Meadows!
