Ohio

Running for: State Representative, District 55

which includes parts of Montgomery and Preble Counties

Zach Stepp grew up in Sheffield Village, so Northeast Ohio has always been his home. Growing up in a family that struggled to get ahead, Zach learned that his family’s personal and financial struggles did not define him. When his childhood home was sold off in a public auction, Zach learned how to build websites for small businesses so he could have some extra cash as a kid. At 16, he got a job at Five Guys and works nights and weekends — and he got promoted three times while he was still in high school. Through hard work, Zach received a full scholarship to the University of Chicago, traveled the world, and work in national politics and in the federal government. He hopes to bring a fresh perspective to, and make a lasting impact on, his district.

Priorities:

Economic revitalization, bouncing back from COVID, quality public education, ending the culture of corruption, respecting the dignity of work.
