As a small business owner, she understands how government policies impact families, employers, and communities. Her philosophy of governance is rooted in constitutional restraint, transparency, and accountability: She believes government must protect individual rights, ensure public safety, and maintain a fair framework for our community without overstepping into the lives of citizens or stifling economic opportunity. 

She believes in a disciplined approach to public spending—favoring zero‑based budgeting, performance audits, and the elimination of corporate welfare—and a commitment to free‑market principles. Wezlynn’s background demonstrates a consistent dedication to strengthening communities through constitutional governance, fiscal responsibility, and policies that prioritize the freedoms and opportunities of everyday Ohioans. 

Motivation to Run for Office 

Wezlynn Davis is running to represent Ohio House District 86 because she believes the state needs principled leaders who put people before politics and protect the fundamental freedoms that make Ohio strong. Her motivation stems from years witnessing how government decisions—good or bad—directly affect families, entrepreneurs, and local communities. She has worked diligently to hold bureaucracies accountable and ensure government serves its citizens. 

Having spent the past decade defending small businesses and championing parental rights and local decision‑making, she believes Ohio needs more legislators from the private sector who understand real‑world challenges and can restore trust, transparency, and constitutional governance. Wezlynn’s goal is to help ensure Ohio remains a place where hard work is rewarded—not regulated out of existence—by advocating for policies that limit government overreach, reduce unnecessary regulation and spending, and expand economic and educational opportunity for all Ohioans 

Policy Positions 

Economic Freedom 

Wezlynn opposes government bailouts and taxpayer-funded incentives for private businesses, arguing that markets—not politicians—should determine winners and losers. She supports reducing and ultimately eliminating Ohio’s income tax, phasing out the Commercial Activity Tax, and implementing regulatory reform to make Ohio a magnet for entrepreneurs and job creators. Her policies aim to level the playing field, promote free enterprise, and empower small businesses. 

Wezlynn strongly supports right-to-work policies, ensuring Ohioans can earn a living without being forced to join or fund a union. She opposes mandates like HB 205 of the 135^th General Assembly, which would have imposed labor requirements on private businesses under the guise of public safety, arguing that business owners—not bureaucrats—understand their workforce best. Public safety should be achieved through cooperation and innovation, not heavy-handed government intrusion. 

Education Opportunity 

• Wezlynn supportsEnducation opportunity for ALL Ohioans. She believes that we should empower parents to choose the best educational path for their children. While creating a clear link between education quality and opportunity 

Government Modernization 

Ohio’s nearly 4,000 political subdivisions create duplication and drive up costs, and Wezlynn supports practical reforms to address this by consolidating overlapping services where it improves quality and reduces costs, encouraging shared resources among townships and municipalities, and promoting voluntary collaboration through incentives rather than mandates. She values government close to the people, while also supporting consolidation in areas like fire districts or school administration when it delivers measurable efficiency gains, protects local autonomy, maintains or improves service quality, and ensures transparency and taxpayer input. She also supports requiring voter approval for new levies or tax increases, along with spending caps and stronger transparency measures to keep government accountable to taxpayers.  

Energy Abundance 

Wezlynn fully supports House Bill 15 and its free-market energy reforms to improve reliability, reduce costs, and limit government distortion in Ohio’s energy markets. She will champion HB 15’s principles by: 

• Promoting market-driven solutions and transparency 

• Ensuring energy policy prioritizes affordability, reliability, and consumer choice 

• Advocating for fair cost-sharing among all energy consumers 

• Encouraging competition and innovation in the energy market 

She strongly opposes any attempts to reimpose energy mandates or hidden charges on ratepayers, arguing that such measures harm families and small businesses.

Additionally, Wezlynn supports streamlining permitting for energy infrastructure projects—such as pipelines, power plants, and transmission lines—while maintaining environmental accountability. Her goal is to cut red tape, encourage private investment, and ensure Ohio’s energy system remains modern, reliable, and cost-effective.
