Joe Salvato: A Bold Stand Against Government Overreach

Joe Salvato is running for State Representative in District 29 to take on the corrupt Republican supermajority and restore democracy in Ohio.

The Issues

Green Manufacturing: Green energy and manufacturing offer some of the greatest opportunities for business investment and job growth in our lifetimes. By investing in renewable energy infrastructure, energy-efficient technologies, and eco-friendly manufacturing, we can create thousands of well-paying jobs and position our communities for long-term economic prosperity. Furthermore, investing in the green economy is an investment in our future – it will help combat climate change, protect our natural resources, and build a healthier, more resilient planet for our children and grandchildren.
Safe Communities: Our families deserve to feel safe and secure in their homes and neighborhoods. But to achieve true public safety, we must transform our approach to law enforcement. The old models of policing, rooted in suppression and control, no longer serve diverse, multicultural communities. Instead, we need a modern approach that prioritizes community partnership, de-escalation, and accountability. Joe envisions a future where law enforcement officers are trained in community policing strategies, crisis intervention, and cultural competency. Where departments prioritize transparency, accountability, and diverse representation. And where communities feel safe and supported, not targeted or threatened by the police. With Joe’s leadership, we can build stronger, safer neighborhoods through smarter policing.
Limited Government: Joe Salvato is running for State Representative in Ohio’s 29th District because he has seen firsthand how unchecked power corrupts – and absolutely power corrupts absolutely. The Republican Supermajority’s relentless grip on Ohio’s government, despite near-equal support for both parties, has led to policies that directly contradict the will of the people.

Ohio’s citizens deserve better than a government where one party holds 67 out of 99 seats in the House of Representatives – a blatant distortion of democratic representation. Joe is committed to changing this. His mission is to flip District 29 from red to blue, breaking the stranglehold of the Republican Supermajority and restoring true balance to Ohio’s politics. With your support, Joe knows that we can achieve this critical goal and give the people a voice that reflects their values.

As a dedicated public servant, Joe is committed to the principles of limited government and bipartisan cooperation. He believes that Ohio’s citizens deserve a voice that isn’t drowned out by special interests, and that policies should be crafted with the input of both parties. As your State Representative, Joe will fight for thoughtful, representative legislation that puts the needs of the people first.

Joe is running for State Representative because Ohio deserves better – because the people deserve better. He’s running to expose the power play that has hijacked the state government, and to give the people a seat at the table. And he’s running to win – with your help.

The Problem

Power Imbalance: Despite Ohio’s even political split, the Republican supermajority controls 67 out of 99 seats in the House, thanks to gerrymandering. This power imbalance ignores the will of the people.
Broken System: The supermajority is using its power to pass restrictive laws, override citizen initiatives, and protect extreme Republicans. This harms democracy and the interests of Ohioans.

Joe’s Mission

Flip the House: Work with Democrats to take back control of the House, dissolving the supermajority. This would restore a more representative government.
End Gerrymandering: Support the Citizens Not Politicians ballot initiative in 2024. This would create fair districts and prevent future power grabs.
Promote Bipartisan Solutions: Push for legislation that serves all Ohioans, not just special interests.

Why Joe?

Principled Leader: Joe is driven by the belief that power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. He won’t back down from challenging the status quo.
Experienced Fighter: Joe has a track record of standing up to corruption and fighting for fair representation.
Voice for the People: Joe is committed to giving Ohioans a say in their own government.
