Ohio

Running for: State Senator, District 18

which includes parts of Geauga, Lake, and Portage Counties

Betsy Rader is a lifelong Buckeye who was born in Coshocton. After her parents got divorced, Betsy’s mom struggled to make ends meet in low-paying jobs — while raising four kids. Growing up poor, Betsy felt like she didn’t have a say in what happened to her family, so after graduating from The Ohio State University and Yale Law School, she became a lawyer to give others a voice. Betsy now owns a small business employment law firm. She has always tried to make a positive difference in her community, and as State Senator Betsy will help the hardworking people in her district.

Priorities:

Support small businesses and locally owned companies; fight for fair elections; fund and support the health care system.
