| OH-11 is 15th poorest district of 435 Congressional districts. Primary cause of massive poverty: adult illiteracy. Establish reading centers in D-11 affected neighborhoods using HUD funds & other appropriate fed funds, tie reading centers directly to Ohio job training efforts, and to local/regional employers looking to hire. Local office will create timely databases of who needs reading programs, which agencies/organizations are providing job training, & which employers are hiring.

My federal office will focus on national security funding priorities. |
