Campaign website

Finzer’s campaign website stated the following:

Fix our Nation's Tax Code
In 2017, the GOP implemented Permanent Tax Cuts for the Elite that passed the burden of funding our Government onto the backs of Hardworking Americans. In Congress, I will fight to reduce the tax burden on Middle-Class Americans, to put more money back into your pocket, and ensure the Wealthy pay their fair share in taxes. We have seen time and time again that "Reaganomics" and the Trickle-Down Effect are fallacies, nothing more than selling a Pyramid Scheme.

Bring High Paying Jobs To Eastern Ohio
Eastern Ohio can be a manufacturing Powerhouse once again. We are able to be the manufacturers of America's Clean Energy Future. Whether it's building Wind Turbines, Hydro-Electric Turbines, Solar Panels, Carbon Capture Technology, manufacturing EVs/Hybrids or building Gravity/Water Batteries; Eastern Ohio can and will be the Energy Powerhouse of America.

Expand & Invest in Rural Hospitals
Too many folks in Eastern Ohio have to travel far distances to get the critical care we need. Like new mothers in Monroe County who have to travel out of the county to see pediatricians. In Congress, Rylan will fight to bring back Federal dollars to ensure The People of Eastern Ohio have access to world-class healthcare.

Protect & Defend Social Security
For decades now, the GOP has been attacking and trying to defund Social Security and Medicare. These are benefits that Americans have been paying into for decades. We will not privatize these public entities. Meanwhile Politicians like Nikki Haley propose raising retirement age to 70 for people like her children. That may sound all fine and dandy, but her children are set for life with that family's Generational Wealth. Most Americans don't have the luxury of being Millionaires and asking people to work until they are 70 just to enjoy a couple years of retirement is unacceptable!

Fix Our Broken Healthcare System
Our nation's healthcare system is being systematically sold to For-Profit Corporations that then deny people the healthcare that they need... All to make the rich, richer. This Corporate Greed is driving record profits for the Elite, at the Expense of American Lives. It's up to us to Stand-up and Fight Back. With having Crohn's Disease, Rylan knows first-hand how important good healthcare is. He will fight to make sure every American can get the care they need.

Protect Unions & Public Education
Every industry ought to have a Union to represent their Employees. Unions have the power to stand up for workers against Corporate Greed, and keep Companies from taking advantage of their labor. Public Schools must also be protected and receive necessary funding and keep our tax dollars from being misused in the Charter School system.[2]
