Entrepreneur / Single Mom / Advocate for all Ohio families
Tamie Wilson, an entrepreneur, single mom and an advocate for all Ohio families, who has made it her life’s work to help people live happier healthier lives.
She has a strong sales background, having running several large corporations. Her small business and corporate background has prepared her with knowledge and skills to represent Ohio-- something she is seeking during her run for Ohio's 4th Congressional District. As a member of Congress, Tamie pledges to restore the focus of representation in the 4th Ohio Congressional District to the everyday needs of what it takes to live, prosper, and raise a family; and less on divisiveness and culture wars that ignore the everyday needs and impact of Ohio families.
For Tamie, Congress is an extension of her lifelong commitment to community service. By the 4th grade, she was working closely with special needs children with Down Syndrome, Muscular Dystrophy, Multiple Sclerosis, Autism, and more. A survivor of domestic violence, she is committed to prevention, detection, and reduction of domestic violence statewide.
In addition, she is deeply involved in work with veterans. Her grandfather was a WWII U.S. Veteran. As a community volunteer, Tamie has been active with the DCPAAA (Delaware Citizens Police Academy Alumni Association), Eagles, UCC (Unity Community Center), LWV (League of Women Voters), the American Cancer Society, the American Heart Association, End CAN, Kiwanis, and other efforts to prevent child abuse and programs to create healthy living.
Tamie's "Get Things Done" and her no-nonsense approach to community service led Tamie into politics, especially after she had to shut down her business due to COVID-19. For Tamie, representing the people of Ohio's 4th Congressional district is about addressing the challenges facing Ohioans, most of which she has experienced personally.
