Attacked tax breaks and handouts for Big Tech and data centers
Mike Turner voted to give data center developers an $80 billion tax break. Meanwhile, our utility costs have gone up as these data centers strain our power grid, and families across Ohio have been raising real concerns about it. He hasn't listened to a word of it.Post on X, September 26, 2026

Called for campaign-finance reform to reduce big money's influence
Washington is rigged for the wealthy and well-connected. Public service should not be a way to get rich. That’s why I’ll ban stock trading for members of Congress, end corporate PAC influence, pass term limits, protect voting rights, and shut down the revolving door that allows former members to cash in as lobbyists.Campaign website, priorities page
This terrible decision has empowered super PACs and dark money to drown out the voices of hardworking citizens, fostering a system where policy outcomes are often determined by the highest bidder rather than the public will. Ending Citizens United, banning congressional stock trading, and rejecting corporate PAC money is essential to cleaning up the culture of corruption in our political system.Knickerbocker campaign Instagram
