Representative Tristan Rader - District 13

COLUMBUS – State Rep. Tristan Rader (D-Lakewood) today submitted a letter to U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zeldin opposing the agency’s proposal to reconsider the 2009 Endangerment Finding, a bedrock scientific and legal determination that greenhouse gases endanger public health and welfare.

COLUMBUS – State Reps. Tristan Rader (D-Lakewood) and Michele Grim (D-Toledo) today announced the reintroduction of the Ohio Health Care Plan, landmark legislation that would establish a single-payer, universal health care system to guarantee comprehensive medical, dental, and vision services for every Ohioan—regardless of income, employment, or health status.

COLUMBUS – State Rep. Tristan Rader (D-Lakewood) today voted “NO” on the vote to override a school district property tax levy restriction provision vetoed in House Bill 96 (the state operating budget). Line-item 66 would eliminate several types of levies, limiting the choices voters have in how to support their schools and local governments, and would not provide real property tax relief to Ohioans. Real property tax relief is one of the most pressing needs for everyday Ohioans. House Democrats are ready and willing to work together to get that done.

COLUMBUS – State Rep. Tristan Rader (D-Lakewood) today issued a forceful statement denouncing recent Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids conducted in and around Lakewood and western Cleveland, calling the actions “inhumane, destabilizing, and politically motivated.”
