A lifelong Ohioan, Dave has dedicated his life to family and public service. After graduating with his Juris Doctorate from the University of Dayton, Dave worked as a public defender before being elected as Geauga County Prosecutor in 1988 – a position in which he served his community for nearly 25 years.
In November of 2012, Dave was elected to represent the 14th Congressional District of Ohio in the U.S. House of Representatives and is currently in his fifth term. He considers it a great honor to represent the people of Northeast Ohio and serve the communities where he was born and raised.
Both Social Security and Medicare face long-term financing shortfalls under currently scheduled benefits and financing. These are important programs that many seniors depend on. I believe America’s seniors have earned these benefits and it is crucial that we ensure they receive them. According to the President’s own Medicare actuaries, the Medicare trust fund will go bankrupt by 2028. I will work with my colleagues in Congress to ensure that the Medicare and Social Security remain solvent for current and future seniors.
