“A growing gap between productivity and wage levels is contributing to increasing wealth inequality and driving vicious cycles of decline in our urban and rural communities alike,” Gadell-Newton said on er web page.

She also calls for free tuition at public colleges and universities.

Libertarian Travis Irvine says he will create jobs by cutting regulations and taxes — including eliminating the state income tax. In his Voter Guide answers he said the state needs to unleash industries that are over-regulated in his estimation, including gambling, alcohol and food truck establishments. He is also a big advocate of marijuana legalization, and wants changes to JobsOhio, the state’s publicly funded privatized economic development arm.

“We need to make JobsOhio transparent or cut it completely,” Irvine said in the Voter Guide. “Secondly, we don’t have to bring jobs to the state if it was easier to create jobs here. We must make it easier for innovative individuals to start their small businesses here and reduce taxes and regulations on those looking to do so.”

Voters will decide on Nov. 6 between Gadell-Newton, Irvine, Democrat Richard Cordray and Republican Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine.
