Meet Linda Matthews

Innovator. Educator. Community Leader. The first Black woman to hold the Ohio Republican State Central Committee seat in Ohio's 9th Senatorial District.

Born, raised, and still living in the heart of Cincinnati, I've dedicated my life to this community. As a former CPS Science teacher, Xavier University graduate, and tech entrepreneur, I understand both the challenges our families face and the innovative solutions we need.

With my background in STEM and AI, I'm committed to bringing data-driven, common-sense leadership to Columbus—because Ohio's future deserves bold ideas and responsible governance.

The Issues

A Platform for Ohio's Future

Common-sense conservative solutions that put Ohio families first

Public Safety

Fund our police, not defund them. Our law enforcement puts their lives on the line every day. I'll fight for competitive pay, better training, and the resources they need to keep our communities safe.

Education Excellence

School choice for every family. Strong support for teachers with competitive pay. Expand STEM education, vocational training, and real career pathways in every neighborhood.

Economic Opportunity

Make Ohio a tech hub. Lower taxes, reduce regulations, and create an environment where small businesses and innovation thrive. Good-paying jobs for Ohio families.

Constitutional Rights

Defend the Constitution. Protect free speech, the right to bear arms, and religious liberty. Limited government that respects individual freedom and personal responsibility.

Community-Led Growth

Development that respects neighborhood character. Trust local residents to guide growth decisions. Preserve what makes Ohio communities special while welcoming responsible progress.

Respect for Life

Stand for the sanctity of human life. Support families with policies that protect the most vulnerable and promote a culture that values every person's dignity.

I believe in a government that works smarter, not harder—using technology and innovation to cut waste, boost efficiency, and serve every Ohioan. Our state's future deserves bold ideas and responsible leadership.
