Meet Shelby Kimball, Democratic Candidate for Ohio House of Representatives District 60

In this episode of American Motherhood, we sit down with Shelby Kimball, a mom of four, Marine Corps and Army National Guard veteran, and the Democratic candidate running to represent Ohio House District 60 in Delaware County, to talk about the issues that matter to Ohio families.

We dig into her priorities for the state, including strong public schools, affordable and accessible healthcare, and support for veterans and military families. Shelby also shares how years of navigating the same systems so many Ohio families rely on, from classrooms to doctor’s offices, shaped her decision to run.

Our goal isn’t to tell you who to vote for. It’s to give Ohio voters a chance to hear directly from candidates, understand their values, and get a better sense of how they will lead, regardless of how you vote.
