U.S. Congress Ohio 10th

Theresa grew up in Dayton’s South Park neighborhood, as the youngest of four siblings. She is a proud fourth-generation Daytonian and small-business owner, having established two successful businesses in the Miami Valley. Theresa bought a local telephone-answering service as a young mother and built it into the largest business center in Dayton over the course of 14 years. For the past 12 years through her current company, Full Circle Development, she has worked to make Dayton a better place by reinvesting in and renovating homes that fell into disrepair in light of the housing crisis. Theresa‘s passion for her home of Southwest Ohio drives her activism. Her extensive background in housing advocacy includes service on community boards that educate first-time homebuyers, coach existing homeowners through loan modification, and organize volunteer repairs for elderly homeowners. Theresa is running because OH-10 deserves a representative who understands the challenges its residents face and will work to raise wages, lower health care costs, and create more local, good-paying jobs.
