Mike Roberto believes that public dollars are for public schools. As a former public school teacher, principal, and recent superintendent of Aurora City Schools, Ohio State Senate candidate Roberto heavily emphasizes public education as a core pillar of his 2026 campaign. His perspective on public policy is heavily influenced by his 34-year career in public education in Summit and Portage counties, where he has seen the state’s historical failure to properly support local school districts directly force-up property tax burdens on working-class Ohio families. Instead of business as usual in Columbus, Roberto plans to fight for a fair deal for those who need it most: students, families, and workers.
