Allison Russo is the Ohio 15th Congressional District candidate we can trust to put the best interests of the people of our communities above all else.

Currently serving her second term in the Ohio General Assembly, representing House District 24, a seat historically held by Republicans, Russo has fought corruption and championed voting rights, veterans’ issues, education and job training, protecting and expanding rights of workers, lowering healthcare costs, and creating an economy that works for everyone — issues she will continue to work for in Washington.

Foremost, Russo embodies the personal ethics, integrity, and pro-democracy values that will make her a member of Congress her constituents can be proud of. Among those values is understanding the concerns of the people she represents, and she will hold regular, in-person town hall meetings in the district.

In Columbus, she is the ranking member of the House Health Committee, co-chair of the bipartisan Legislative Children’s Caucus, and serves on a number of other committees, including the Finance Committee and the State and Local Government Committee.

Russo holds a doctoral degree in health policy from The George Washington University and has worked extensively in the area of veterans’ health. She and husband Brian, a combat veteran and former law enforcement officer, have three children and are contributing members of their community.
