Newbold for Ohio

Welcome!

Thank you for visiting my website.

My name is Craig Newbold and I am running for State Representative for Columbiana County.

Born and raised in East Liverpool, I spent many years in the computer software industry and eventually launched my own software company in 1990. Thirteen years later, I established an information technology academy in Ohio for individuals in economically disadvantaged areas. Because I have spent so many years working on various entrepreneurial projects, I realize that for many businesses, Ohio’s high taxes and poor business environment stifle economic growth.

The truth is that in terms of business climate, the Buckeye state cannot and is not, competing nationally and is missing out on valuable economic opportunities, simply because those in Columbus are unwilling to tackle the status quo. Ohio is hemorrhaging jobs to neighboring states and needs a radical change to the way we do business by cutting government waste, reducing the tax burden on families and small businesses, and encouraging economic expansion.

Unfortunately, those who control the state’s purse strings claim that because we have never attempted such a radical feat, it cannot be done at all.

I’m here to tell you that it can be done and Ohio can once again be a prosperous destination for businesses from across the nation. Our state needs fresh leadership that actually understands what it takes to create real jobs for a real recovery!

In short, what we need are less career politicians in Columbus and more leaders who actually understand what it will take to attract and keep employers in Ohio.

Our children shouldn’t have to move away from home to find a decent job. We need a new perspective in Ohio to help Columbiana County and our State get back on track.

That’s why I am running to be your State Representative. I love Columbiana County and believe we can restore hope and opportunity to our area again.
