Meet Dave

A neighbor, attorney, and father of three.

I'm a Northwest Ohio attorney, husband, father of three, and lifelong resident of this community.

In my legal practice, I help the trustees of workers' health and retirement plans manage that money responsibly, avoid conflicts of interest, and put the people they serve first.

“That's the standard I'll bring to Columbus.”

The work ahead

Focused on what matters.

Corrupt politicians in Columbus have been putting the squeeze on us for years. Dave is running to change that—and to put Ohio's working families first.

Affordability

Real property-tax relief for homeowners—not more breaks for corporations and developers. Lower costs on gas, groceries, utilities, and other essentials.

Cleaning Up Columbus

No more sweetheart deals for utility companies or diverting our tax dollars to unaccountable private programs, schools, and special interests.

Healthcare

Taxpayer funds should lower premiums and prescription costs—not finance corporate bailouts and sports stadiums. Protect rural hospitals and access to care.

Protecting our communities

Dave Fournier's Data Center Plan

No data center construction until strict standards are met—and taxpayers, ratepayers, and local resources are protected.

01

No Tax Breaks

Absolutely no tax breaks or tax incentives. Companies building data centers must make significant payments to local tax funds that benefit our schools, libraries, parks, and emergency services.

02

Responsible Utilities

Data centers must produce their own power off the grid so they do not increase local electric costs. They must also use closed-loop cooling systems that use minimal water.

03

The Company Pays Its Own Way

All infrastructure costs must be paid by the company building the data center—not by local taxpayers.

04

Third-Party Environmental Monitoring

Ongoing, independent environmental monitoring must ensure continued compliance with these standards.

The squeeze on District 44

Working families deserve some breathing room.

Standing with working people

Labor built Ohio. Dave will defend it.

Dave works with union pension and health funds to protect the benefits workers earned at the bargaining table.

  • Protect collective bargaining and the right to organize
  • Oppose so-called “right-to-work” schemes
  • Defend prevailing wage and responsible public contracting
