Local resident Rose Lounsberry introduces campaign for State House District 36 at Oakwood council meeting
Summary
Rose Lounsberry told Oakwood City Council she is running for the Ohio House in District 36, described her background as a former teacher and small‑business owner, and identified fair school funding and opposition to universal vouchers as campaign priorities.
At the Feb. 2 Oakwood City Council meeting, Rose Lounsberry introduced herself as a candidate for Ohio House District 36 and explained why she is running.
Lounsberry said she lives at 222 Wonderly Avenue, is a former public‑school teacher and the owner of a professional organizing business, and emphasized family and local ties including three children attending Oakwood High School. She identified two main campaign priorities: ensuring fair funding for public schools and opposing a universal school‑choice voucher program that she said is diverting about $1,000,000,000 per year from public education. She offered to meet with city manager Katie Smitty to discuss local concerns and left contact information.
Context and next steps: Lounsberry’s remarks were delivered during the public‑comment/visitor portion of the meeting; council did not debate or respond to the campaign claims during the session. Her comments are a candidate introduction and do not represent action by the city council.
