WHO IS LAURA MARIE?
Laura Marie Davis grew up in Deerfield Township and graduated from William Mason High School. She studied Biology at Case Western Reserve University and served as an AmeriCorps member in Tuscarawas County, Ohio, leading environmental education programs. Laura Marie then spent six years living in North Carolina, where she worked in community outreach & engagement for nonprofit organizations.
The 2016 election cycle and its after-effects inspired Laura Marie to get engaged in politics. She served on her local Environmental Affairs Board and Soil & Water Conservation District Board of Supervisors for several years, before making the decision to return home to southwest Ohio. Laura Marie’s professional work in public engagement aligns with her desire to serve the communities that she calls home.
WHAT DOES LAURA MARIE STAND FOR?
Reproductive Freedom
No politician should be telling women what we can or can’t do with our bodies. Last year Ohioans made our values clear when we voted to defend our right to reproductive freedom. Our legislators need to respect the will of the people and uphold our access to reproductive healthcare. As a State Representative, Laura Marie will advocate to ensure that personal healthcare decisions are preserved to individuals and their doctors.
People Over Politics
Politicians should not be drawing their own district lines to keep themselves in power. We need an independent, citizen-led redistricting commission. That’s why Laura Marie will be voting Yes on Issue 1 this fall to end gerrymandering in Ohio. You can learn more about this ballot initiative at: https://www.citizensnotpoliticians.org/
Education
Strong education is the foundation of our society. We need to ensure that our public schools have sufficient and sustainable funding, without the continual burden of levies. We also don’t want things like vouchers draining our public schools. What we need is a real solution, which exists in the bi-partisan Fair School Funding Plan. As a State Representative, Laura Marie will advocate to codify and fully fund this plan.
Civility
There was a time when we were able to talk with our neighbors, regardless of politics. Laura Marie believes that we can return to those times: that we CAN have open, honest conversations about the issues that really matter. When we focus on our shared humanity and the values that bring us together, we can rise above the fear and polarization that’s being used to keep us divided.
