Editor,

As an average citizen, it takes a certain amount of grit and determination to expose yourself to the world of politics. Samantha Meadows is a serious young lady who decided that rather than constantly complain, to do something and run for Congress.

She is running for an open seat in Ohio’s 2nd Congressional District which covers 15 counties. She has shown she is dedicated to helping people as a former Advanced EMT and has taken time off from the Girl Scouts to run her campaign.

She believes America is great. Samantha believes public service can make people’s life better. She is optimistic and looks forward to the future. She wants to make other people’s lives better. She supports the Constitution, the freedom to make your own choices, and the dignity of work. She will represent all the people in District 2.

Samantha understands the struggles of rural families trying to make ends meet. She has held the hands of mothers who lost children to addiction. She has seen firsthand how decades of neglect from both parties have left our towns behind. She speaks the language of the district and advocates for the people of the district.

Samantha would fight for the rights of workers, women, and voters, healthcare access and real solutions to the opioid crisis. She believes it’s time to end anger politics of chaos, insults, and division. Isn’t it time to elect a Congress that will do more than spend its time impeaching people rather than legislating?
