“My name is Colton Stidam, and I am running to be your next State Representative for Richland county.”
Colton comes from a proud, union family, is a public school employee and an active member of the community. He’s dedicated to making sure everyday people have their voice heard by our legislature.
From fully funding our public schools and bringing new housing developments for working families, to guaranteeing a living wage for fair labor, Colton makes it clear…
“I’m fighting for an Ohio we can all afford.”
Every single year we're expected to tighten our purse strings, pull ourselves up by the boot straps, and work harder. The issue is most of us are already working as hard as we can, or we've already put in our 30 years and retired. We need to acknowledge that this isn't an issue with our people, it's an issue that runs deeper. Families are losing homes that have been passed down for generations, young adults can hardly afford rent, and this needs to change. We need to make an affordable Ohio.
An affordable Ohio
Issues
Some of the hardest workers amongst us are our union brothers and sisters. They tirelessly produce our goods, work on our infrastructure, and make this state truly great. Their rights to collectively bargain, fight for a fair wage, and take care of their own are constantly coming under attack in the state house. I will always stand up for our great unions when push comes to shove.

restoring Public Schooling
The foundation of our nation, of our state, and our communities will always be our children. Our great public schools help grow our kids to their fullest potential to become leaders, innovators, and people who will move us towards the future. The critical lack of funding hurts our children's growth and their opportunities. Their classrooms are overcrowded, their teachers are told to do more with less, and Ohio is falling behind the curve. My first priority will be to restore our schools to their former glory, to guarantee every child has the best path towards the future they deserve.
ENDORSEMENTS
This is a grassroots campaign. Not a single dollar will be taken or used from special interests groups that only seek to enrich themselves. This campaign is by the people, for the people, to ensure the average person will be represented in the Ohio statehouse.

Let me hear from you!
I firmly believe that when you have a concern, your politicians have a duty to answer. There will never be any automated, patronizing messages to give you the illusion that I’m listening and you can always expect a thoughtful response in return.
