KAREN BROWNLEE (D)* Own Rentals? No Owned/Managed Business? Yes
Key differences between you and opponent: I currently serve as Ranking Member on the Development Committee and also sit on the Community Revitalization Committee, which grounds my decision-making in practical, data-driven solutions. I believe in a thoughtfully directed, supply-focused policy model– and have a record of doing so with HB 857, the Housing Recovery Act.
Housing and housing affordability was a key issue throughout my first term and during this time I took the initiative to lead my caucus on developing housing initiatives, and continue to develop my understanding of market needs in Ohio. It is imperative that we take a multi-pronged approach to ensuring housing stability for Ohioans and a stable marketplace for owners and operators.
Outlook on property rights, operational freedoms of, and preferred regulations on multifamily owners: Stable, secure housing is the essential baseline for a family's health, safety, and economic mobility. Increasing the housing stock at all levels is one of the most important issues in out state, which is why I worked within my caucus to develop three pillars for investing in affordable housing; building new housing, creating balanced rental protections, and helping families become new homeowners. Throughout my first term serving on the Development Committee, I have approached our housing crises through a pragmatic, data-driven lens, focused on expanding multi-family supply and finding commonsense solutions to the hurdles that keep private housing providers from building.
To address Ohio's housing supply shortage and high prices, I introduced HB 857, the Housing Recovery Act, to fix technical problems with the $100 million Revolving Rural Residential Loan program and repurpose it into a revolving housing loan program for communities all over Ohio. The funding of $100 million from HB 857 already exists, but the way this funding was written into the Operating Budget has made it inaccessible to Ohio communities, so not a single dollar from this fund has gone into building new single- and multi-family homes. This inaccessibility has occurred with other current OHFA run programs, and needs to be fixed. This loan program, if set up correctly, will spur the construction of up to 2,000 units of housing per year - via single-family homes, duplexes, and small multi-family units – supporting a critical housing supply for families, which will ultimately bring housing supply into better alignment with housing demand.
I am also interested in investing into our state rental registry program to make it more accessible and useful to rental property owners, with a focus on using the data from the registry to better understand where state investment is needed.
State policy should work in partnership with local government, developers, and others working in the housing space on supply-side solutions that support investment, build an understanding of local need, and plan for a future to sustain and maintain quality housing communities.
By bridging my social work experience with an understanding of development needs, I will continue learning about and advocating for policies that balance the human and economic needs of our communities around housing, whether it is related to rent stabilization, zoning, eviction, or tenant screening.
I am careful and thoughtful about my support for legislation, and will work to understand the broader impact of any housing legislation that comes up before me in committee or in the House. Our economy is integrated, and policies can often be a blunt instrument, so it is imperative that we stay focused and balanced in our approach to keep Ohio healthy and growing.

JAYSON AMEER RASHID (D) No response thus far
OHIO STATE REPRESENTATIVE DISTRICT 56 | Part Warren County, including Lebanon and Mason
ADAM MATHEWS (R)* Own Rentals? No Owned/Managed Business? Yes
Key differences between you and opponent: I am a two-term incumbent working hard for the people of Southwest Ohio. I maintain a full-time job as a patent attorney, while passing over 20 pieces of legislation. I have worked on major housing initiatives including my HB 313, enacted in the budget to promote pro-housing policy like encouraging faster permitting, varied ad multi-family housing, and reducing permitting requirements.
Outlook on property rights, operational freedoms of, and preferred regulations on multifamily owners: Property rights are foundational in a free society. Regulation of the use of one's own property must only be a last resort, with the default in trusting the property owner to maintain and use property however deemed fit. Rent control, onerous zoning, and bureaucratic red tape get in the way of those trying to find or provide homes.
Will oppose rent control or stabilization legislation: Yes.

I am committed to accessible, accountable representation across all of District 20.

GEX WILLIAMS (R)* No response thus far
KENTUCKY STATE REPRESENTATIVE DISTRICT 60 | Part Boone County
MARIANNE PROCTOR (R)* Own Rentals? Yes Owned/Managed Business? No
Key differences between you and opponent: I have a record of supporting property owners. Authored and passed HB 10 (2025) - anti-squatters bill. Authored and passed HB 254 (2026) - amends theft by deception to address fraudulent real estate listings. I have no idea of my opponent's stance on anything.
Outlook on property rights, operational freedoms of, and preferred regulations on multifamily owners: I believe property rights are a fundamental constitutional right and cornerstone of individual freedom. For most people, owning their own home or property represents years of hard work and provides the freedom, security, and independence that come with owning what you have earned. Government should respect and protect those rights - not continually find ways to take more of what people own. Unless bound by constraints of an HOA or zoning, one should be able to do what they want with their property.

Will support zoning reforms that open up new opportunities for multifamily housing: Yes, where appropriate. Not within established single family home communities.

Key differences between you and opponent: Experience in office and work ethic.
Outlook on property rights, operational freedoms of, and preferred regulations on multifamily owners: I favor predictable rules and fair enforcement, balancing rights of property owners and tenants, while allowing the private market to respond to housing needs. Regulations should be clear and reasonable - focused on legitimate health, safety, and community concerns. Regulation should not create excessive costs or burdens.
Will oppose rent control or stabilization legislation: Yes
Will support zoning reforms that open up new opportunities for multifamily housing: Yes.
Will support streamlining the permitting and inspections process for new constructions and renovations: Yes, so long as safety is not compromised.

Will commit to work with GCNKAA before passing legislation impacting rental housing: Yes
TERRY HATTON (R) Own Rentals? Yes Owned/Managed Business? Yes
Key differences between you and opponent: The biggest differences between myself and my opponent are our perspectives and goals in Frankfort. I am a life-long resident of the district, Army veteran, and small business owner. I want to lower the state income tax to attract new business and provide relief to Kentuckians. I want our district to have a seat at the table.
Outlook on property rights, operational freedoms of, and preferred regulations on multifamily owners: I believe property owners should have the freedom to operate and manage their properties without government excessive regulations and unnecessary red tape. I have experienced this first-hand as a small business owner. Multifamily property owners should be able to make decisions about their property, within reasonable health, safety, and zoning standards that protect both residents and surrounding communities.
Will oppose rent control or stabilization legislation: Yes.
Will support zoning reforms that open up new opportunities for multifamily housing: Yes.

KENTUCKY STATE REPRESENTATIVE DISTRICT 69 | Part Boone and Kenton Counties
STEVE DOAN (R)* Own Rentals? Yes Owned/Managed Business? Yes
Key differences between you and opponent: I have real life experience working as a real estate attorney and municipal lawyer, I understand the nuanced and complex law regarding planning and zoning as well as current trends in our real estate and housing markets. This private sector knowledge makes me a valuable voice in the need for regulatory change in the housing industry.
Outlook on property rights, operational freedoms of, and preferred regulations on multifamily owners: I believe multifamily property owners should enjoy broad operational freedoms, including the ability to manage their properties, enforce leases, set market-based tents, and develop additional units without excessive government interference. Regulations should be limited to those genuinely necessary to protect public health, safety, and prevent nuisances - not arbitrary zoning restrictions, aesthetic mandates, or other barriers that reduce housing supply.
That is why I filed the HOME Act (HB 102), which would ease minimum square-footage and design requirements, facilitate multifamily housing (including duplexes, triplexes, and quadplexes in single- family zones), streamline permitting and variances, and require zoning rules to have a substantial connection to health and safety. These reforms expand property rights while increasing attainable housing for the region.
Will oppose rent control or stabilization legislation: Yes.

Outlook on property rights, operational freedoms of, and preferred regulations on multifamily owners: I respect property owners' rights to operate& invest in their property. Regulations should be clear, predictable & focused on outcomes.

BOONE COUNTY, KY JUDGE/EXECUTIVE
CHET HAND (R) Own Rentals? No Owned/Managed Business? Yes
Key differences between you and opponent: I am a conservative Republican with experience in public sector, private sector, elected office, and nonprofit. My opponent is a self-described democratic socialist with no relevant government or business experience.
Outlook on property rights, operational freedoms of, and preferred regulations on multifamily owners: I am 100% pro-individual property rights. I believe operators of multifamily properties should comply with appropriate zoning regulations and locations of new developments should not conflict with a long-term comprehensive plan, and should be compatible with neighboring properties and infrastructure.
Will oppose rent control or stabilization legislation: Yes.
Will support zoning reforms that open up new opportunities for multifamily housing: I don't like the question as worded. I support a series of zoning regulation updates to make construction and permitting costs cheaper and more streamlined, but our housing locations and growth management is through our comprehensive plan to align with a holistic vision for housing, services, and infrastructure.

TIMOTHY DEAN JOHNSON (I) No response thus far
KENTON COUNTY, KY COMMISSIONER DISTRICT 2
JEFF NICELY (R) Own Rentals? Yes Owned/Managed Business? Yes
Key differences between you and opponent: I believe in capitalism, smart growth, and free markets. A smaller government works best and government should make it easier for businesses to grow and do their thing. I have years of budgeting and planning experience. My opponent has put little information out publicly but he has been part of an anti-growth group in south Kenton County for two plus years.
Outlook on property rights, operational freedoms of, and preferred regulations on multifamily owners: I believe in capitalism and the free market system. Property owners should have the freedom to do what they wish with their property, assuming infrastructure can handle it. Multifamily units are the perfect solution for affordability and getting the most people in the smallest amount of space. While single family homes will always be needed, multifamily units are essential to affordability and meeting demands in supply.

KENTON COUNTY, KY COMMISSIONER DISTRICT 3
RICHARD KIMMICH (R) Own Rentals? Yes Owned/Managed Business? Yes
Key differences between you and opponent: I am a conservative Republican, who believes in the free enterprise system, and the government should seek to promote economic opportunity while refraining from over regulating small businesses. I do not believe government should become involved in the day-to-day operations of property leasing.
Outlook on property rights, operational freedoms of, and preferred regulations on multifamily owners: I believe, as long as the property is maintained in a safe and healthy manner that government should not have restrictions other than those already set forth in federal fair housing. Local government should not infringe on the rights of property owners, unnecessarily or set quotas or rental rates.
Will oppose rent control or stabilization legislation: Yes.
