Americans are strong people. We care about one another. We fight for one another, not against one another. It is time that we look to all fellow Americans as brothers and sisters. We all want the same things: respect, opportunity, equality, and the right to pursue our dreams. 

I will always fight for policies that support and uplift rural America.

Samantha Meadows grew up on a small family farm in Scioto County and graduated from Ohio Christian University with a degree in Human Services, a specialty for people passionate about helping others and interested in service-based careers. Her background and education set the stage for this candidacy.

She says, “I am running for Congress because I want to make a positive difference in the lives of lower- and middle-income American workers. Living in rural Southern Ohio, I have seen and experienced the complex issues of this region all my life. My mission is to bring actual, positive change to the quality of lives in our part of the country. The voices of Southern Ohio need to be heard on a national level because they have been quieted for so long."

Samantha’s campaign style reflects her commitment to the rural communities she hopes to represent.

     “I go directly to the people. Our district is geographically the largest in the state. I travel to all 15 1/4 counties to talk to folks about the kitchen-table issues that matter to them. My votes will be based on the will of the people of the district; I will always come back to listen to constituents."

As a staunch supporter of unionization, endorsed by the largest federal employee union, the American Federation of Government Employees, Samantha says,

     “I believe well-paying jobs must be brought back to our communities. Economic stability and growth will help diminish poverty, assist in ending the crippling opioid epidemic that affected so many rural areas, and provide our seniors with the opportunity to retire with dignity and security. With the relevant education and experience in rural outreach, relationship building, and rural advocacy, I am ready and qualified to initiate a rural revival in Congress. I can’t wait to start.”
